Come quick, Lego's thinking about making a female NASA scientist range
Lego has made some pretty awesome toys in the past. We’ve seen female scientists, dinosaurs, and even an adorable replica of the Mars Curiosity Rover.
But now a new Lego Ideas proposal wants to turn some of NASA’s most famous female scientists into a range of awesome figurines, and we’re kinda freaking out over here.
Lego Ideas is an initiative where the public can submit and vote on future toy ranges, and the ones with the most support usually end up going into production.
That’s how some of their earlier sciencey toys have been funded in the past, and now we’re less than 1,000 votes away from getting Lego to consider making the ‘Women of NASA’ range a reality, too - Lego picks from the proposals that hit 10,000 votes from the public, but the more votes, the better.
The set was created by Maia Weinstock, the deputy editor of MIT News, and it features five of our ultimate role models in life: Margaret Hamilton, Katherine Johnson, Sally Ride, Nancy Grace Roman, and Mae Jemison.
Vote here if you want Lego to make a women of NASA set. Currently they’re less than 50 votes away from their goal!
10,000 supporters - we did it! They say they’ll know by January if the set will be produced. WAHOO!
