Lego’s Mars Curiosity Rover Set
Rejoice fellow space and brick nutters, because Lego is going release an official Mars Curiosity set!

Pakbaz entered his creation in Lego Cuusoo, a website that allows fans to submit models that could be turned into real sets, like the incoming Back to the Future or the Minecraft sets.

A Fantastical Look At Fixing The Curiosity Rover
After spending roughly $US2.5 billion to build the Curiosity rover and deliver it to Mars, there’s no way NASA would let something as trivial as a mechanical breakdown or software glitch stop its journey — not when we could just send up a repair-bot to fix it.
