I think this model deserves more love than it’s currently getting:

Blue Origin New Glenn Rocket, Launch Tower & Blue Moon Lander - 1/110 Scale Set

Our modern space race has a dark horse, the sleek white New Glenn rocket from Blue Origin. Designed to carry people and payloads to Earth orbit, the Moon and beyond, its first launch is expected in 2021.

Like its pioneering astronaut namesake John Glenn, this two-stage vehicle is breaking new ground as we prepare to return to the Moon.

The lunar lander Blue Moon is included as payload, with its four mini rovers. Also included are a large rover, and satellite for deployment en route to the moon.

A selection of images attached.

Thanks for sharing this. I've added my support. Would love to put one of these by my Saturn V.

Nice TEL. Would make a great grey technic beam parts pack.

Can't see building one tho. I prefer real rockets.

Project has achieved the first LEGO ideas milestone (of getting 100 supporters in 60 days). It now has over a year to get to the next milestone of 1,000 supporters (currently at 276).

Project achieved 1,000 supporters a couple of weeks ago and is currently a bit over 1,300. Next milestone is 5,000 with 573 days left to achieve it.

Some new pictures from a recent update are attached.

It's road trip time…on the Moon!
We’re thrilled to add the Space Exploration Vehicle (SEV) to our product idea. As profiled by Blue Origin in their recent presentation, Astronauts will use the rover to explore the Moon for up to 2 weeks at a time.
It’ll be launched inside New Glenn & delivered to the lunar surface atop the Blue Moon lander!
Vote today to make it a real Lego set!

The Blue Origin New Glenn Rocket was built by duo Valérie & Matthew is this weeks 10K Club Entry! 🚀

Although they're not in the 'hot seat'. I guess 'hot sofa'? 🛋

Anyway, you can hear from both of them, about their fantastic model, here:
