Discovery/NASA sets on Brickset brickset.com/s...
I used to think videos on toys couldnt be art.
You my friend, proved me wrong.
Dr Bright Are you dead guy from the SCP foundation😅😅😅😅😅
Aw man that's cool! The Saturn V rocket has 1969 parts; The year of the moon landing!
Related: Hogwarts Castle has 6020 pieces, which 6020 is the set number of Magic Shop, one of the first sets with a wizard!

Kind of neat how you said that you wanted to see Lego take another crack at the lander, and now, in 2019, we have an updated lander.
we need to conquer the moon

Didn't the US stop doing a lot of space stuff?
I heard they have oil up there
The moon people won't stand a chance
Lego Ideas LOVES spaceships. It feels like every time one of those qualifies, it wins.
I really wish they would do more with NASA. This is Really Cool.
Bryce McKenzie oh my god fuck off Justin y. wannabe
Bricky boi 359 how ‘bout you FUCK OFF!
It would be really cool if Discovery Channel did new sets. More Space, Shark Week, Dinosaurs, Survival in the Jungle and Savannah, and maybe some Archeology.
3:34 I can shed some light on the differences between ideas and Cuusoo (think like Jaques Cousteau for pronunciation): Cuusoo is a crowd sourcing website run by the company Chaordix. They partnered with LEGO, but at some point LEGO decided to branch off to make Ideas as it's own site. Ironic because recently Lego announced there Forma crowdsourcing through Indiegogo.
Thanks for the info.
Hey this series is great. You deserve way more views. All the work you put in really shows. I know you're done with it but I wish you would do a big series on Lego Dimensions. Again, great videos.
I mean.... I just don't know what there'd be to say about it. Basically "Here's a license. Here's another license." If you mean like a let's play series of the levels, I can't afford all that stuff. :(
Fingers crossed for a western episode in the future.
They had the first actual gun as a lego piece right? (Revolver)
Claudio Bizama
The first representation of a weapon was a cowboy set in 1976. But the first actual molded pistol was a flintlock introduced in the pirates line in 1989.
That ending speech you gave, man that was inspiring. I absolutely love this series and all the hard work you put in!
I've now collected the four early 2020s NASA sets. I wasn't going to initially, but I'm glad I did. The builds are more fun then I anticipated.
Wow, a video where I actually had/have a large part of the sets! The big Discovery still hangs out in a box (though it is lacking the arm and satellite, took those out for play reasons :D); my tiny Shuttle from the ISS (which looks nothing like the structure in orbit today!) actually appeared on a show on children's TV here in Germany.... That unfortunatly left it covered in sticky glue, and absolutly ugly :(
I also had the moon and mars sets... Only missing the large lunar lander and the large mars rover from that line. Additionally, I also have an ancient rocket with a launch pad, that might have been my very first set ever.
Getting sets in the style of the discovery line - and smaller than the Saturn V - is one of the few things I can imagine buying more LEGO for, now that I don't play with it anymore (scratching the itch with Minecraft instead :D). Would love to have a 20cm Hubble Space Telescope display piece, for example!
I remember seeing a Discovery set in some old instruction booklets, but I never got one myself. That's because I didn't watch the Discovery channel as a kid.
I wish space exploration was more sought after these days. I know it still matters, just not nearly as much as it did back in the 60's.
I agree, but space exploration at the time was so relevant because putting something into orbit was a demonstration of power for the USSR and the United States. Once you know how to send a man into space, you Can send a nuke anywhere in the world.
There are still space programs around, NASA is still doing that stuff, the only difference is that people don't talk about It very often now since there is not Much interest in the thing.
@Tesla-Effect It Will take time. I still hate that some people think space is just a "waste of time". I agree that some problems like climate change need more attention right now, but it is still sad to see such a beautiful idea as a Mars human colony treated as something useless and pricey
Yeah very late reply but the old 2010? City theme for space was awesome. I had most of the sets at the time and I really loved it during my major space phase when I was little. Everyday watching documentaries
Man, I still have those Mars Mission space sets, and they still inspire and entertain me. And yeah, we need to revive our imagination and go back to space! Those Space Port sets like in the ad at the end were my entry drug to my love of space!
Fun coming back to this now after LEGO's released that fantastic new Apollo 11 set!
Personally, I'd love to see another space theme. Maybe one in a near-future setting where we befriend some aliens and help them fight rogue factions within their own race like Life On Mars. The human sets would be based on the kind of things we have today, but slightly more advanced, whereas the aliens would have all kinds of things like FTL travel, spacefighters, and other things like that.
Something I liked about the rovers that they build over the years is how they always integrated Technic and Systems into these sets, it always made me want to find ways to make MOCs out of both sides.
Something I think Bionicle could've tried if Lego wasn't too sure if their G2 sets had a future. I'm sure some people would've let Bionicle slide if they were a nice blend of Technic and Systems, (plus it wouldn't make old fans of Bionicle leave it if it were to come back as system only). So far we haven't seen as many Lego sets that intergrate these 2 building styles as of now. :/
IronClaw3000 System and Technic get along better than it’s apparent. Technic is used with System frequently enough, but always as a supporting structure or mechanism, not something you’re supposed to see(unless it’s a red or yellow lever). Sometimes it feels like System is just the art of hiding Technic, and Technic just something to be hidden by System, but I guess that was what they were always designed for.
And CCBS is just mech biceps now.
@@jarkspore
yeah true,
but most technic parts tend to be those square system's parts were they have pin holes on all 4 sides.
Guess I want to see future sets that use more technic as part of the look of the set, kinda like how G2 second wave attempted to do with their 6 Toa😅
man i love space, its vast and mysterious to me.
RIP to everyone in The Challenger, man, seeing all of their family members and friends makes me sad! :(( Hope they are doing well during these times! :D Today's January 28th 2021! This exact same day it exploded 35 years ago back in 1986! :o
2:22 Hoo boy, this comment aged well :D
I remember that Discovery Shuttle set. That damn satellite NEVER wanted to fit inside the back bay. That being said I still loved it; it was the biggest set I ever built at the time. I just wish my mom hadn’t gotten rid of it and all my other legos when I went to college.
For whatever reason, the Discovery sets cost much more in the UK than in the US (sometimes even twice as much). However, I did visit the US a couple of times while they were on shelves here, and I really wish I'd bought more than just the small ISS set- the Apollo astronaut minifigs in particular are incredibly expensive now. Ah well.
The Mars Exploration and ISS sets were my third and fourth Lego sets ever. I remember them fondly and have been meaning to rebuild them. I like how by the time I found this video Lego has remade both the lunar module and ISS and I have both of them.
Crazy seeing the the old ISS config with the P6 truss sticking out the top as the whole solar array. Kinda reminds me of project gateway...
Actually that gives me an idea: Modular Lego ISS. Each module is a self contained set, so a pressurized module might have bunch of minifigs in jumpsuits inside doing something, or you might have the solars turn on a knob for the truss sections, canadarm with a couple of dudes in space suits floating around, etc. But on top of that everything has docking ports, so if you get a bunch of them you can build the whole ISS, or the ISS part of the way through its life, or your own damn thing because it's cool.
Fun, Educational, there's a very strong incentive for people to buy multiple sets it probably looks like it'd be profitable to the folks in charge, probably never gonna happen though.
It did
Your insight into humanity and how you regard the world is phrased beautifully. You would do wonderfully as a Documentary Presenter.
I love it! Unfortunately, the future of NASA doesn't look to optimistic, but hopefully once private companies pick up the slack in Low Earth Orbit, we can again look to the rest of the solar system. Until then, we pretty much just have Europa Clipper and JUICE to look forward to.
@Tesla-Effect Yes, but China has been very slow, and cooperation with them is not likely in the near future. As for Russia, they're doing decently at the moment, but their future plans are constantly delayed and rather underwhelming. Great respect to the scientists and engineers of both programs though, they've really done a great job. Also, India is beginning work on their own manned spaceflight program, which I'm quite interested to see!
One small step for LEGO, one giant leap for minifigure-kind
I had the Saturn V rocket set growing up. That was such a cool Lego set and I wish I took better care of it much less have saved it from being sold at a garage sale along with the rest of my Lego parts*sigh*
4:23 i have that one! My dad got it for christmas amd builded the entire thing. Since then, he gived it to me to displayed it in my room.
This guy's got alot to look forward too in the next decade or so. Even of he doesn't know it.
Dude, your videos are amazing! Informative and really entertaining..always nostalgic..thanx
Great retrospect. I had not even heard of the Discovery line before this. And I share your view on space travel in general. We need to start aiming for the stars again. Some of our greatest advancements came from trying to answer the challenge of going beyond our world.
Thanks for the vid, I remember my mom bought me a 7467 copy when I was a kid, never knew it was a real set. Now it's my goal to buy a real one.
1969 pieces!? Now that's an coincidence😲😲😲😲😲😲🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎😎😎😎😎 5:04!
I think one of those older space shuttle sets with the launching tower was the first actual set I owned... back when I was, like, five, or somewhere around that. Could be forgetting something from earlier, though.
Before that we had a bin full of lego parts in the basement that my brother and I would play and build things with, but those were hand-me-downs, and there was no way on Earth to tell what they had come from :) I think our sister occasionally joined in too.
5:16 ..."you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space!" XD
The minifigs on the moon lander are guys from Space Police 2 - they sport the same head prints with red hair...
Space IS a long term goal.
Without the world working we cant reach for space.
i still have this huge discovery space shuttle (7470) with its hubble space telescope in the cargo section
its such a beauty with all its flaps and retractable landing gear
when i banished all my LEGO from my shelves back in the day (ive since put back some of my favs but back then i wanted my room to look less childish) the space shuttle was the last to go because i liked it that much
shame its white colour has turned yellowish now and the worst: all of the stickers have become brittle and are peeling off the bricks
its so sad actually
and still: lego puts more and more stickers on their sets :'(
the mini ISS i had as well, i got it for christmas back then and loved it as a display piece! you couldnt really play with it but you could fly around with the mini scale space shuttle and that was fun
always wanted that technic rover but it was too expensive unfortunately
Normally I'd suggest finding replacement stickers on bricklink since they're pretty easy and cheap to come by, but with this line being so rare..... yeeeah, better to keep the lights on.
@@NickonPlanetRipple ikr the Sticker sheet for this model is pretty pricy on bricklink, i already looked
I guess some day ill just peel them off completely and live with it
Its beautiful even without the american flag ^^
4 years ago, in a small toy shop in a South American airport, I found 2 sets from the Discovery line (7468 & 7469) NISB at original MSRP. Used all my cash to get them, I couldn't believe my luck.
I guess the space race was not followed in Europe to much. Only a couple of rockets before that moon landing set with the maxi figures. Seems like 1969 would have been a prime year to make some LEGO NASA sets, but alas we didn't get anything. I was only 1 year old so I did not complain. lol
IIRC the recent Saturn V's part count was intentionally made 1969 to represent the year it was launched.
I had two of the Discovery sets, the shuttle and the space station. These were very cool and remained on display in my living room for several years. I kept hoping they would eventually release a set of the Apollo/Soyuz hook up in space but alas it never happened.
Long have I enjoyed the more realistic and model type Lego sets, I hope to one day get the Saturn V!
man if this video was made one year later you'd have a more accurate minifig scale lunar landing celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11
The curiosity Cuso set was actually designed my one of the nasa engineers that built the real thing and built the wheels they way they are to flex and move to give the model an actual suspension system. That's why they included the base/stand
After a long day this is a nice treat.
My dad had (has?) the Moon Landing set. In fact, we still have chunks floating around in the attic. Along with parts of the Galaxy Explorer and the like.
Shame that now NASA is sort of being replaced with SPACE FORCE for many reasons, but it’s really sad to know that we probably won’t be seeing realistic space stuff since it would be considered military by LEGO.
Davie Jones I kinda like the idea of the Space Force (though I'd prefer it be satellite combat than anything Gundam or Battlestar Galactica esque for a potential and practical service) but I am still going to miss the days when we yearned to make a NASA or even UN moon colony in 1968 and how 50 years later we never did it when we may have needed it the most
Daimos Z I really don’t think space should be used for military. I think we should just leave all the wars to earth and let the universe be a utopia of understanding.
Davie Jones alright. That's a fair statement
@@V-grandraccoon It's actually illegal by international law. In the 1960s many countries from around the world - including the United States - signed a treaty that prohibits performing military maneuvers and constructing fortifications in space, as well as placing WMDs in space.
Blam 320 attempts have been made to do it in the past (Ronald Reagan’s Star Wars being the big one) and it seems like the US is attempting to break the rules again.
1:05 ah crap, i think i blinked.
I loved that Apollo 11 mission set as a kid.
I found the discovery Lunar Lander set in (beaten-up) box in my parents' garage a couple years ago and built it. I thought it was a strange choice that LEGO used white versions of the Arctic backpack for the astronauts, rather than the various airtanks or combined airtank/helmet things that were around at the time; also they totally should have used the golden visors from the 1999 Spaceport town subtheme.
That Saturn V is still my favorite set to date. Bought it day 1 and I've had it displayed in my dorm ever since
The only NASA or Discovery set I own is the mission to Mars One. I remember getting it as a gift for either birthday or Christmas, and many of the pieces I still find around in my collection to this day. Granted some of the stickers maybe faded or overlapping parts, but it was cool for a time of a miniature model. I also have a NASA astronaut minifigure but the sticker is a little bit worn. I think there is a place for licensed space themes that aren't Star Wars or occasionally superheroes, but all that time in between Lego has offered a lot of unique space factions and storylines. With the latest iterations of realistic space being in the form of ideas sets, I'm glad that it's still around to some degree. And in some cases, expanded upon
This reminded me of the day i bought the 2011 city shuttle. I was so happy to see a real Life spacecraft made in Lego!. I would have loved to have some of this, but i have only seen the big Mars rover in a store once.
Keep It up with the videos, Nick, you are awesome!
Seeing you so excited about the Discovery Lunar Lander, and ISS, I wonder what you think of the new ones.
I was gonna comment “don’t do my boy UCS Slave 1 like that,” but, then,
I looked over at it from across my desk, and well,
*No u right.*
I had the old Saturn V/Apollo set. The only thing remaining is the Apollo CSM. But that's okay, because I got the big Saturn V! That thing is a sight to behold! It nearly comes up to my waist!
Reminds me of Thew's ad for a third-party Omega Supreme figure. "IT'S BIGGER THAN YOUR KIIIIDS!"
This was a real cool episode. Thanks
It would be cool if Lego made an ISS line. But you buy the modules separately. That way you can make your own space station and also feature spacecrafts made by other countries
NEVER STOP THESE
I'll admit, I never really heard of these sets. Thank you for bringing them to my attention!
That Saturn 5 rocket is in the background of Joe Hanson's It's okay to be smart UA-cam channel.
could you do an christmas theme/advent calendars for this coming christmas? man i really love your videos, so much nostalgia
I know it wasn't NASA but there was also a Shuttle Lego set I owned 6339 which I remember building between Christmas and New Year! It lasted a good week before I made it into something else!
I used to have the discovery shuttle set for years.
RIP to everyone in The Challenger, hope their families and friends are doing well right now! :D Today's January 28th 2021! This exact same day The Challenger exploded 35 years ago back in 1986! :o
Cool video! I still have lunar lander 10029 from when it was originally released! I love that set! :)
Aw that P.I.X.A.L Nano Minifigure is cute 😘☺️😃 4:46.
another great episode.
I remember seeing the Lego Discovery line on the old website. Looked so cool by my 7-year-old eyes.
I remember the big hype for the space shuttle set, and it was good
anybody else forget they owned a set until you see one of these videos. I think thats why I love this series
Seems Spacex is bringing some of the excitement back.
I think that LEGO should make a theme in which each set is a section of a space station.
5:03 1969 pieces, idk if that's a reference or just a coincidence
Uh, I got a City poly bag that was a rover with an astronaut(he had an Atlantis helmet hahaha). That Saturn V is badass though. I’d like to see a space shuttle like that, but maybe they couldn’t get away with nano-fig scale with something that has such an obvious cockpit.
Another GREAT video!
Just wanna say I love your vids
I think you forgot the most important part of this, that a LEGO minifig actually went to space, and it happened before the first Danish person went to space.
Great video, as usual my dude.
Wooooo! Finally
Ah, I had the big rover and the moonlanding set. At the time, I found them really weird as they had a very serious tone to them compared to most LEGO themes I was used to, and came with no minifigs. I have the sails of the rover to this day, still trying to figure out what to do with them. The rocket that came with the moonlanding set is now the back of an 94's LEGO style oil truck I build, so at least those large white tall round bricks found a place to exist...
Mickey the Maniac Maybe a cape?
It would take a person more creative than me to implement them as a cape. They are massive and have jagged edges! I considered using them to represent bodies of water to make a "ninjago city"-esque build but never really had time to take on a project of that scale. I might use them as stylish awnings, that are shaped to resemble sails or something. Thank you for the suggestion! Love this series. Keep up the good work!
Lego City has some sets based of NASA now
3:09 you're in luck
I've got the Shuttle laying around somewhere. Gotta find missing pieces, and I know the decals are all just trashed.
Wow I have one of those 1 by 2 American flag bricks and had no idea what set it came from
Yes! Been waiting for this one
*I love this channel!*
amazing man keep it up
All hail the Saturn V set, best thing i've gotten in like 7 years.
Yes yes yes yes new yes yes LEGO yes yes rewind yes yes
You missed the fact that the Saturn V has the same piece count as the year the moon landing occurred
Neat.
I really wish Lego made set about Soviet shuttle Buran, it would be so nice to have that displayed with Energija rocket and Nasa's shuttle. I have the Nasa shuttle from which I made MOC of Buran
I would have liked to see more play set builds for this line, but the micro scale sets were still cool.
5:19
“I get depress on how programs like NASA are defunded”
SpaceX: “Hold my beer!!!”
I still own the giant technic mars rover I assembled it by myself back in second grade almost 13 years ago
Awesome video and love the deep reflection at the end. I'm hoping that they at some point do a "real" mission to mars small line, using real concepts or slightly modifying them. I think it would be awesome and maybe put a small drip of passion for real space exploration into people. The issues is always as a company making money. :( they have super heroes "space" star wars "space" soon to be IMO lego movie/friends "space" and Ninjago kinda dips into "space" with the look of its scfi ships. this all kinda puts the real stuff on the back burner i think unfortunately. :/ But thanks for the video i didn't know that there where ever that many actual space sets.
Out of this world content bro!
