Quoting David Roberts I love how this spaceship has visual elements from the Apollo landers. The legs look good for absorbing touch-downs and the big side rockets should easily enable a blast-off from any planet that you care to explore. Good to see manoeuvring thrusters and an array on comms kit too. 9 Nice to see lots of variety in the alternatives. I’m not sure that a CS space scooter works in blue but I do like the shape, with its angle screen and novel controls. The remote controlled buggy has NPU for its wheels and I like the control room, up on its podium. Finally the hover–board is just fun! 9 Folding legs, an adjustable radar, plus a cockpit which fully opens to get the pilot in and out. The side rockets could be detachable boosters, like on the Space Shuttles. Where could you go and explore in a craft like this: anywhere! A robust build too. 9 It’s amazing how big a spacecraft you can get from less than 100 bricks: well done! I like how all of the CS ships had wings and how you have rejected this and gone for a pure spaceship, not meant to go into the atmosphere. 9 Total score 36

Quoting David Alexander Smith Design: The design works for me, because it channels the spirit of the 60s and 70s space programmes, which CS was so obviously ciphering. 8.5 Piece Selection: Whilst the two alternatives are clever ideas they don’t have the polish of the main build, still very nice. 7 Playability: The play value comes from the shift in seating position in flight, and the adjustable landing legs in flight. I can here count downs of 5,4,3,2,1 … blast off from bedrooms everywhere. 8 CS Factor: A clever nod to CS’s own influences, which somehow captures the essence of the theme. 8
