July 20, 2019, marked the 50th anniversary of one of mankind's most impressive achievements: landing on the moon. And we've been celebrating all week with stories about the historic landing as well as taking some time to build LEGO's new lunar lander kit.

The 1,087-piece building set was developed in cooperation with NASA and recreates even small details of the Eagle lunar lander, including separate ascent and descent stages. The descent stage features gold-colored landing pads and panels just like the original Eagle, opening camera and laser hatches, a ladder, and the ascent stage, which has a detailed interior.

"We have a deep understanding of the ways in which play can have lifelong impact, and we have been champions of the awe and wonder of space exploration through playful building for almost as long as the world's celebration of the first moon landing," says LEGO's Michael McNally.

In addition to the lander, the new LEGO include "a depiction of the lunar surface, complete with crater, moon footprints, and a United States flag."

The Apollo 11 Lunar Lander set is available now for $100, you can buy it right here.
