The best LEGO® Space sets for adults

Space is both endless and endlessly fascinating. Whether you follow the latest missions from the world's most advanced space agencies or simply enjoy gazing at the stars at night, everyone finds space inspiring and awe-inspiring.

With this in mind we thought it would be fun to list some of the space sets we have released over the years. Some of these sets are some of our most challenging and rewarding builds and feature authentic details that hark back to some of space travel's most iconic moments.

LEGO® Ideas – stories from space

When space and art are combined, the possibilities are endless. Fans of both will love the new LEGO® Ideas Tales of the Space Age set, featuring four 3D postcards inspired by 80s sci-fi myths, films, books and posters.

The 3D postcards can be displayed on a shelf or wall, together or on their own. However and wherever you choose to place them, they will look beautiful and you will be thrilled with the building experience.

This cosmically colored work is an impressive work of art that pays tribute to the wonder and mystery of space

LEGO® NASA Space Shuttle Discovery

If we asked you to imagine a NASA spaceship, chances are you would think of the Space Shuttle Discovery. The NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set is a tribute to perhaps the most famous space shuttle in history and is very popular with LEGO fans. The set has authentic details such as the folding landing gear, opening cockpit, movable elevator ailerons, space arm and 5 crew seats. You can even open the cargo hold and send the Hubble Space Telescope on a voyage of discovery. The telescope also has many details, such as movable solar panels and a hatch that can be opened.

Many of our sets give you a relaxing building experience, and that certainly applies to this model. While you're doing it, imagine what it must have been like to fly out of the windows of Discovery into endless space as an astronaut.

LEGO® Galaxy Explorer

We never need an excuse to make great new sets. But in 2022 we will be celebrating the 90th anniversary of the LEGO Group, so we thought it would be a good idea to come up with something special for the occasion. That's why this year we're releasing a new version of an iconic vintage set from the late 70s that we're sure you'll love: the LEGO Galaxy Explorer.

This set is guaranteed to bring back fond memories of your childhood. There are some differences with the classic set: the spaceship has the same retro color scheme, but uses new construction techniques and elements. Not only do the cockpits open, there is also a rear door with a fold-out ramp and a reconnaissance vehicle. The landing legs are collapsible and the side engines can be detached to form smaller spaceships.

The four classic minifigures and their robot assistant can take place in the detailed cockpit. There are also beds, computers and storage spaces. Now you have to decide where to go. This time of year the weather is lovely on Jupiter!

LEGO® Creator Expert – NASA Apollo 11 lunar lander)

One small step for man, one giant leap for humanity. When you think of this famous quote, you immediately think of the Apollo 11 lunar lander, the fantastic craft that took American astronauts to the moon and brought them back again after the mission.

This set was developed in collaboration with NASA to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon. It includes a detailed replica of the Apollo 11 lunar lander Eagle and an image of the moon's surface, complete with crater, footprints and American flag. You also get two astronaut minifigures with NASA decorations and gold-colored helmets. And of course also a ladder, so that you can take that famous first step yourself.
