So you’ll see a few (very few, since the visit was in 2003, and I didn’t know I would be using them for this – I have other pics) here to show what things really look like. And I got to see life-size versions of what I built in this particular set.

I got the full tour and had a great time. And with him, I got to see Mission Control (both the old and new) and all get to visit the Space Shuttle training facilities. This happened because I met an AFOL who happened to work in Mission Control there as an spacewalk trainer. My first favorite theme was Space, and that got me involved with an event that took place in Houston, where I was able to do a VIP tour of Houston Space Center> My LEGO hobby surprisingly became another aspect of my NASA geekdom – some of the first sets I chased after on eBay were shuttle sets, including the LEGO Town set Space Shuttle Launch (1682), the Shuttle Launch Pad (6339) and the Technic Space Shuttle (8480), which still is an astounding LEGO set. Still, I followed NASA and went to a shuttle launch in my senior year of high school, watching a tiny bright light go into the afternoon sky…and feeling its thunder over a minute later. I became a science nerd as a result, and while I thought of being an astronaut for about five minutes, that was dashed when my eyesight went downhill. I am a guy that was brought up on Star Trek (Kirk and Spock, not Jean-Luc and Riker) and became a space geek. Already, the price per part is lower than the threshold of 10 cents a piece, but is the set worth the buy? Well, let’s stop for a second and take a step back…why would I be a good reviewer of the set? Well, that takes a step even farther back, to 2003. With a set name that is a bit to remember, the NASA Space Shuttle Discovery comes in at at a retail price of $199.99 and a part count of 2354 parts. (34 cm) wide, making it the perfect size to display.No, my build space was nowhere near this neat…but since we want to at least try to set an example…
