Soviet Lunniy Korabl (LK) moon lander

Parallel to the American Apollo moon program, the USSR also worked toward landing their own Cosmonauts on the moon. Even though the Soviet program had enormous success with their unmanned Lunokhod rover, the manned program was ultimately canceled before Cosmonauts could be launched.

Kei_Kei_Flic has built a LEGO version of the LK lander, complete with a view of the little planet we all share hanging in the background.
