Did you know? This July marks the 25th anniversary of this very website, Space.com. That's right: for 25 years we've been sharing the latest space discoveries, information about missions and plenty of guides for budding (and professional) skywatchers. Something else we also like to talk about from time to time is space-themed Lego. And so, what better way to celebrate our birthday than looking back over some of our favorite Lego space sets from the last 25 years?
Of course, space-themed Lego sets have been around much longer than 25 years. The first Lego space sets came in the 1960s, with the 1970s and 80s having a big surge of sets designed with space exploration in mind. Our list here begins in the early 2000s as we look back over a timeline of space-themed sets — and the odd Star Wars sets thrown in for good measure.
