Space exploration toys are no stranger to astronauts, but now Lego is offering a glimpse into the future of lunar construction. The Danish company partnered with the European Space Agency (ESA) to create Lego bricks from actual meteorite dust! These limited-edition bricks, on display at Lego stores until September 20 (including the Manhattan flagship), are more than just a cool collectible.

This project is a "proof of concept" for using moondust to build structures on the Moon. Launching building materials from Earth is incredibly expensive. Imagine the cost savings and efficiency of using readily available lunar resources!
