LEGOS IN SPAAAAACE!!!!! too damn cool
(via Designboom)
Three LEGO figurines are traveling to Jupiter, affixed to the space probe “Juno.” The models represent the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, the Roman god Jupiter, and the Roman goddess Juno.
Created by LEGO on a special commission from NASA, the three figures are composed of aluminum, created at a cost of about 5,000 USD each. Special manufacturing was required to ensure that the figurines do not interfere with the spacecraft’s sensitive measurements and instruments.

It is scheduled to launch aboard the unmanned ‘Atlas V’ rocket at 11:40 AM EDT on August 5th.I want that Galileo Galilei. — Ryking
