Lego Creation: Apollo 11 Tribute



"On July 21st, 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon. This creation commemorates this great historical accomplishment.

After seeing Tyler's astronaut some time back, I knew immediately I wanted to do something similar with this piece. Plus I recently acquired 100 of these awesome pieces. As a spacer myself, I feel we often times get caught up in building magical sci-fi creations, and forget to pay tribute to the original roots. I'd love nothing more than for humans to get back out into exploring other celestial bodies!
This creation can be viewed in the Community Window for the next month at the Chandler, Arizona Lego Store. I know you all want to come make a trip out and come see in this lovely 112 degree heat! ;)"
