Since April 1, 2026, it’s safe to say space has been top of mind — and following along with the crew of Artemis II has been nothing short of incredible. From the first-ever iPhone selfies taken in orbit to the anticipation building around today’s lunar flyby, it’s felt like a front-row seat to history in the making.

And it had me thinking — didn’t Lego make an Artemis set? They did. And not only is it surprisingly affordable and in stock, but it’s also impressively interactive, featuring a Technic crank that lets you recreate the three stages of launch.

So I’ve put together a quick list of space-themed Lego sets — including Artemis II — that should spark a little inspiration, whether you’re building with kids or just channeling a bit of that launch-day excitement yourself.
