Thank You



We did it! I would first like to thank each and every one of you for supporting and promoting this proposal from 0 to 10,000. Your engagement and passion for this project kept me motivated to continuously improve the set to my utmost ability. Thank you so much! I also want to thank my students, cullenwelch, AFOL Man, Now You Know, and Everyday Astronaut for all their support. A big shout-out to my siblings: Brad, Tiff, and Dan, for lending me their share of our 30-year old LEGO bricks to help get this project started. Also my mother, Renee, for her unyielding encouragement. And my wifey, Kari, for all her love and support while putting up with my constant mess and disheveled 3AM appearances these last few months. Wuv yew Karwis.

Let's Keep this Party Going



Although LEGO Ideas will soon lock this project down for preservational purposes, we should definitely keep this party going! I cordially invite you to join me at this project's official Facebook page here.



Those of you who love LEGO, space exploration, random things, and fun can catch me over at my modestly-sized YouTube channel: Cloudlicker.



I'm also on Twitter and Instagram. Forewarning: I don't use them much, but I keep telling myself I will ;)

A Future to be Excited for



There have been so many great NASA-themed LEGO sets to date. From the first LEGO space shuttle of 1990 to the magnificent LEGO Ideas Saturn V of 2017. But as the new space-race progresses, new players are making their mark on history. And because of what we have accomplished here, you and I are now a part of that history. For the first time ever, a SpaceX project has reached 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas! LEGO fans around the world are ready to see SpaceX become an official set. As a science educator, it thrills me to think about how many people this project could inspire to engage in space exploration technology. Perhaps contributing, in some small way, to a spacefaring future we can all be excited for.

In the coming months, LEGO will begin the review process and decide which proposals to green-light for production. I'm hopeful that our trailblazing project will be one of them.

So as we celebrate the past, and look to the future, I leave you with these words of encouragement:

"The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur." -Elon Musk
