Happy Kid
on December 28, 2019

I built this with my twin son and daughter (age 4). They are so excited. It was a bit too advanced for them to build on their own, but they can't stop playing with it. And building it brought me back to when I was kid playing with legos. I highly recommend this to any future Mars explorer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A fine addition to the fleet

A combination of continuing space shuttle fever after the release of 10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery and excitement over Ingenuity's flight led me to track down this older set and I'm glad I did.
There's a lot to the set, to the extent that it almost feels like two separate complete sets representing two distinct Mars missions--a manned orbital mission in a space shuttle with a little payload, and an unmanned surface mission with a rover, a helicopter, and a piece of Martian terrain. Both of the "sub-sets" are very satisfying, with a surprisingly substantial rover and a shuttle that feels like a close relative of the LEGO space shuttles I grew up on in the early nineties (it loses the manipulator arm those shuttles had, but gains seating for a second astronaut and that feels like a fair trade). I found myself naming the components as I built: the Inspiration helicopter, the Materials Ascent and Return Container (MARC) container drone, the Creativity rover, and the Intrepid space shuttle.
The one significant issue I ran into with the set is that the "white" paint on the shuttle canopy isn't even remotely a match for the white plastic--it's actually closer to matching the medium slate gray. I'm also a little disappointed that the rover has no intentional-looking way to transport the container drone other than just carrying it with the claw, which I'd imagine would make gathering samples tricky. Both of those are fairly minor annoyances, though, and I'm overall very pleased.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needs a Runway
on July 1, 2019
Posted by: JonnyQuest
Guessing here, but I think the "story" behind this set is that astronauts in orbit around Mars in a space shuttle are controlling a Mars drone and robotic exploration rover on the surface, then a rocket box (?) lofts a rock sample up to the ship for study. You get a little of everything, here: a shuttle, two astronauts, a six-wheeled rover, flying drone, rocks, and return box. If you're looking for a Lego "sampler" of the new City Mars Exploration set, this is probably it. Two gripes: the landing gear is too small for a shuttle this size, and the shuttle "cargo bay" will only fit the astronaut and a box, not a satellite or anything larger. The shuttle would not be able to land on Mars unless astronauts on the surface build a runway! Still, I think there's good play value and parts value here and if you can't swing the price of the whole series, this is the one to get for your budding astronaut.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Space is cool.

Lego and Space I think are a match made for Bricks the not quite all explored Mysterious Space and the Fun Lego Building of the many seemly Infinite combinations to create are two that go so well together, I really like how this set has a shuttle with space for a pilot and a other astronaut with a droid filled gemstones and the wheels that never fail a mission too take off. This set to me is great fun with the feeling that right around the dark side of the planet there is hidden alien life.
I would recommend this to a friend!
