You are bad at click bait, there was no Unikittty picture to keep kids on the page for more that a second or two.
Is that... is that a piece of Unikitty? Remembering Skylab via the medium of Lego
We bring our Lego My Own Creation (MOC) odyssey to a close today with a bit of unabashed self-indulgence in the form of a Skylab model and Skylab modification for the enormous Lego Saturn V. Why two? Simply because in spite of the sheer size of the Lego Saturn V, the scale means that a model of America's space station to fit …

The only construction kits to hold my attention were the Airfix 1:32 WWII aircraft and tanks or similar, my younger brothers loved Lego but it never interested me.
The best thing I have ever built was a Monogram Martin Marauder B 26 in my dad's squadron colours (RAF 14 Bomber Sqdn), probably the only kit I ever tried to make authentically.

Re: Well the good news
>The bad news is that a Lego crushes under the weight of a tower only a couple of miles high.

Re: there are enough Lego bricks out there to go to the moon ten times.
That could explain the Fermi paradox.
Any advanced species refuses to throw away their childhood Lego. If the amount of Lego doubles each generation, after a few 100 generations they reach 3+ Solar masses and their toy cupboards all collapse into a black hole.

dropped on Western Australia
I've just driven the Nullarbor, passing through Balladonia, the nearest civilisation (sic) to where the bits that fell to Earth landed. If you have the time to drive 10 hours East of Perth, you can still see some of them, if you like. And buy petrol at $1.93/L.
If you were to drop this model out your car window as you travel past, the local Shire might treat you the way they did NASA back in the day; $400 fine for littering.

We bring our Lego My Own Creation (MOC) odyssey to a close today
Woah there not so fast. You cannot possibly consider your odyssey complete until you've built the ISS. In multiple configurations showing at least one delivery vehicle of each type present. And all the construction & service launch vehicles on the pad.
Snap to it.
