The Apollo Program
On May 25, 1961, President John F. Kennedy
challenged his country to safely send and return an
American to the Moon before the end of the decade.
NASA met that challenge with the Apollo program.
It would be the fi rst time human beings left Earth
orbit and visited another world. The Apollo program
played a crucial role in space exploration and made
it possible to explore more distant worlds further
in the future.
The Apollo program consisted of 11 spacefl ights.
The fi rst two missions, Apollo 7 and 9, were Earth-
orbiting missions used to test the Command
and Lunar Modules. The next two, Apollo 8 and
10, tested various components while orbiting
the Moon, also taking photographs of the lunar
surface. While Apollo 13 did not land on the moon
due to a malfunction, a total of six other missions
did and returned with a wealth of scienti c data
and almost 881.8 lbs (400 kilos) of lunar samples.
The fi rst manned mission to the moon was Apollo
8. It circled around the moon on Christmas Eve in
1968. Just over six months later on July 20, 1969,
the world witnessed one of the most astounding
technological achievements of the 20th century
when a NASA astronaut on Apollo 11 became the
rst human to set foot on the Moon.
The Apollo 11 mission lasted 195 hours, 18 minutes
and 35 seconds - about 36 minutes longer than
planned. After lunar orbit insertion, the Command
Module (CM) and Lunar Module (LM) separated.
While one crewmember remained in the CM, which
orbited the Moon, the other two astronauts made
the historic journey to the lunar surface in the
LM. After exploring the surface and setting up
experiments for 21 hours and 36 minutes, the
astronauts returned safely to the CM and began
the journey back to Earth.

Saturn V was the most powerful rocket that
had ever own successfully and was used in
the Apollo program in the 1960s and 1970s. The
rocket was 363 ft. (111 m) tall and weighed 6.2
million lbs (2.8 million kilos) when fully fueled
for lifto . The Saturn V used for the later Apollo
missions had three stages. Each stage would
then separate from the rocket. The engines on
the next stage would re, and the rocket would
continue into space. The fi rst stage had the most
powerful engines, since it had the challenging
task of lifting the fully fueled rocket o the
ground. The fi rst stage lifted the rocket to an
altitude of about 42 miles (68 km). The second
stage carried it from there almost into orbit. The
third stage placed the Apollo spacecraft into
Earth orbit and pushed it toward the moon.

Shortly after the trans-lunar injection
maneuver that placed the Apollo spacecraft
on its trajectory towards the Moon, the
transposition and docking maneuver would
be performed. This involved an astronaut
separating the Apollo Command/Service
Module (CSM) spacecraft from the adapter
which fastened it to its launch vehicle
upper stage, turning it around, and docking
its nose to the Apollo Lunar Module (LM),
then pulling the combined spacecraft
away from the upper stage.

With a shared passion for both space
exploration and LEGO® building, Valérie Roche
(aka Whatsuptoday) and Felix Stiessen (aka
Saabfan) worked closely together to create their
impressive Apollo 11 Mission model for LEGO
Ideas.
“The most challenging part was the Lunar Landing
module. I (Felix) tried building it as small as
possible (I wanted it to fi t in the half-cone parts
as seen in the model) while still looking good and
accurate. After that, we began building the rocket
around it. We also tried to make the rocket as
sound as possible, so Valérie included pillars and
beams inside for structural integrity.
“It actually took quite a long time to fi nish the
whole model. There were often times when one
of us just abandoned the project for a few weeks
and came back to it later; however, thanks to
the fact that it is a collaborative project, it was
always the case that one of us continued making
progress on the project and re-motivated the
other. All in all, we would say it took us about a
year to complete.
We were surprised (and happy, of course) when
we learned our model would be the latest one
in the LEGO Ideas series. What we like about the
LEGO Ideas platform is the feedback and support
you get from the community. It’s great to reply to
comments, read suggestions and improve your
model in the updates. Of course, the chance of
designing your own LEGO set is also really cool!”

LEGO® designers
Michael Psiaki, Carl Thomas Merriam and Austin
William Carlson are all full-time LEGO® designers
and avid space enthusiasts, so this was a project
they very much wanted to be a part of. As Michael
explains:
We were actually not asked. I was so excited
when I heard that the project was potentially
going to happen, and told Carl about it because
I knew he was also a space fanatic. We decided
it would be really cool to work together since it
is such a big model, so we approached the Ideas
team about helping to develop the product.
We were amazed by how big the actual model
was and how it was able to separate into all of
the di erent stages and components. This was
very di cult to implement in our fi nal design,
since we needed to make sure that the rocket was
strong enough when connected together, but also
easy to separate.
