LEGO ISS built aboard International Space Station inside zero-G build bubble
Sending LEGO into space isn’t actually all that new, but an astronaut building a LEGO model of the spacecraft he’s in certainly is. Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa recently built a LEGO version of the International Space Station while aboard the ISS itself.
The full story and more photos are over on collectSPACE, and you can watch a NASA video on YouTube as well.
Gotta love that special build bubble to keep the LEGO elements from floating away to who knows where inside the ISS.

Man, I wish I could build in space… Never having to worry about clutch power and stability on my dragons…
And the wonders it would do to presentation!

Think of it as just another 5 axis’s that you can lose pieces in. Although every model is swooshable in zero G.
