Review: Good product and Fast delivery ..amazing - Good product and fast delivery
Review: Unser Sohn ist gerade im Astronauten-Fieber und krallt nach allem, was mit Raumfahrt zu tun hat. Jetzt gab es das Space Shuttle zum Geburtstag. Kuchen und andere Geschenke waren plötzlich uninteressant, es musste gebaut werden. Wie man das von Lego kennt, ist alles detailliert beschrieben. Ich persönlich finde die Plastikbeutel innerhalb der Plastikbeutel unnötig. Das hat aber nichts mit dem eigentlichen Produkt zu tun. Leider blieb für mich selbst nichts zum Bauen übrig :-(

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the helidrone work on Mars?**
A: Actually, they just sent one to Mars!

**Q: Can an astronaut fit inside the shuttle?**
A: Yes, one of the astronauts fits inside the front of the rocket.

**Q: Can a 5 yr old really do this?**
A: Hi there! We do recommend this set for ages 5 and up, so most children that age should be able to build this A-Okay. Every kid is different, though! If you're worried about it being too challenging, keep your eyes peeled for sets that have a 4+ age rating with a little red and white design stating that in the bottom left corner. We've designed those sets for kids just getting started building with our bricks. - Emily, LEGO® Customer Service

**Q: Can this stand upright? Or does it need to lay flat while on display?**
A: Hi there. This set is designed to lay flat whilst on display. Happy building! - Jon, LEGO® Customer Service
