Researchers Molded Simulated Space Dust Into LEGO-Like Bricks To Determine The Best Techniques For Building On The Moon

“We recently found out that space remains an area of huge curiosity with 87 percent of Gen Alpha kids interested in discovering new planets, stars, and galaxies,” said Daniel Meehan, Creative Lead at the LEGO Group.

“With the ESA team using the LEGO System in Play to advance space travel, it shows kids the sky really is the limit when it comes to LEGO brick building, and we hope it encourages children to have a go at building their own space shelters!”

Between June 20 and September 20, 15 of the bricks will be on public display at the LEGO House in Billund, Denmark, and select LEGO stores all over the world.
