The simple and standard studs-up approach combined with using tiles and curved slopes to cover the studs make this an elegantly designed creation.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems both inevitable and appropriate that humankind will name a spacegoing vehicle after astronomer and author <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan">Carl Sagan</a>. We&#8217;ve also come to expect excellence from the collaborations between <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/legomonster/"><strong>Ed Diment</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/madphysicist/"><strong>Ralph Savelsberg</strong></a>.</p>
<p>The <em>Carl Sagan</em> certainly doesn&#8217;t disappoint.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/legomonster/4085806453/in/set-72157622636777365/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2535/4085806453_6cd5683bef.jpg" width="500" alt="LEGO Carl Sagan deep space exploration vessel" /></a></p>
<p>Describing it as a &#8220;near-future deep space exploration ship&#8221; inspired by Ralph&#8217;s microscale <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/madphysicist/2868253598/in/set-72157607344527998/"><em>John Archibald Wheeler</em></a>, the builders stand behind their work and give us a sense of its immense scale:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/legomonster/4086562112/in/set-72157622636777365/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2558/4086562112_8ab2dc641d.jpg" width="500" alt="Ed Diment and Ralph Savelsberg with LEGO Carl Sagan ship" /></a></p>
<p>As much as I appreciate the sleek starfighters and heavily armed starships we feature here so often, it&#8217;s refreshing to see builders taking both a more realistic and peaceful direction with a large LEGO spaceship.</p>
