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 dierent stages and components. This was
very dicult to implement in our final design,
since we needed to make sure that the rocket was
strong enough when connected together, but also
easy to separate.”
