hello everyone this is a look at the Lego ideas set called women of NASA it's
a much cooler set actually once I got my hands on the pieces then I thought it
was gonna be with this set you build three little dioramas or vignettes that
hold up four figures and the biggest question asked here is why is Miss
Catherine Johnson not included in the set especially when she was designed to
be included in the answer is simply a matter of permissions and licensing Lego
was not able to secure the license and permission to include her likeness in
this set the Margaret Hamilton scene is based on a photograph of her which they
have turned into 3d in a way it's not an exact replica of it but I think it makes
for probably the least interesting build although it's not quite as boring as it
appears I mean getting the stack of books is no big deal but I actually like
what they did with the wall and the build for it and this uses prints so
there's a print for her nameplate and a print for the blackboard on the back no
stickers are included in the set whatsoever actually I like how they
attach to the wall back here just again just a nice fairly simple technique and
the vertical brown thing just represents a coat hanger up close the figure has a
squiggly pattern for the textile of her garment which looks like it's a little
bit low in resolution to me a little bit low in detail I wish they had gone with
some finer lines to represent the pattern but the face I think looks great
I really like what they did for the glasses and I think they captured her
smile pretty accurately actually so you think
it kind of captures the character I captures the the real person and they've
also done a nice job with the legs going down to the feet it's just printed
really well the level of production is you know this is fine it's it's
high-quality and does use dual moulded legs it's a good effect and that's
something that should always be done whenever
possible since they have the technology and the technique available and this
does have a second phase still happy and smiling just a little bit more serious
and looks pretty appropriate I think this kind of captures her eyebrows a
little bit better than the front version if you're a little bit let down by the
build here though I do have to point out that there have been much nicer Lego
ideas builds that go with Margaret Hamilton they just happen to come out in
the set the head these two things as software that she developed and or
worked on substantively one way or another went into making these things go
where they were supposed to and bring these little people back safely Nancy
Roman is nicknamed the mother of Hubble and she's depicted here with her baby
the Hubble telescope I'm actually gonna move the figure out of the way for a
moment and show you that close but focus on the build here first which includes a
large printed panel piece that represents the photograph of the cone
nebula was a picture taken in 2002 I don't know the significance of that one
in particular and why they chose it over or something that's a little bit
possibly more popular in in popular culture or something but it is what it
is it's great to get yet another print probably a lot of people will be just
jumping down to the comment section to say that I have built the telescope
wrong or I've posed it wrong but I just built and posed it the way they showed
in the instructions the little stand is on a hinge joint that allows you to turn
this up and down you can also rotate it around if you want to see the back end
of it with the transceiver faces towards Earth but this is supposed to represent
kind of the business end of it that faces out towards space and actually
captures all the images this is essentially the lens cap that comes down
to protect it unfortunately that is not able to close up in tirely but I like
the way that it's depicted here it's really funny that they used a garbage
can but it's a pretty perfect piece there
very perfect piece I haven't gotten a lot of those garbage cans in like gray
out I remember the last set that had one I think that's a fairly rare color these
panels solar panels are a new exclusive print those are one by four tiles that
they've got there and they also use this relatively new piece up here which is an
awesome awesome piece that I look forward to absolutely hoarding they're
so so useful and they've stuck it into a hollow stud there but yeah I just said
incredibly useful piece but altogether for the size of this build I think it
looks great and I think it looks great from every angle just so long as your
brain doesn't get caught up on the fact that this is a trashcan here if you just
look at the shapes then I think it's pretty brilliant I would say I think the
figure of Miss Roman is a really nice one as well I like the necklace I like
the depth that they brought into the torso with just a little bit of grey
shadowing and also the creases you know just has I think an appropriate Lego a
vacation of this outfit and I like what they did with the face - especially with
the extra shaping around the eyes on the underside and also the two-toned glasses
the rims with the sand green and the dark green that's just really nice
detailing just captured a really nice expression here as well there's a little
bit more to see on that face especially with the glasses with that hair removed
but that just seems like a good a good head a good face to have in Lego form
period you know it just would look good on many different custom characters and
probably some other you know real life based figures as well then here's sort
of the de-facto centerpiece of the set with Sally Ride on the right ayran
when she was making waves and headlines she was America's first woman in space
and then May Jemison is on the left she's the first non Caucasian woman ever
to go into space both of them served with the space shuttle program thus
there is a large depiction of a space shuttle system that kind of dominates
though the entire set not to mention this vignette this is a really cool
build that made some nice uses of pieces and makes for a nice display piece
just good uses of the wedge plates especially nice shaping overall I think
this is the first time that I've seen the relatively new one round 1 by 1
plates with bar on side used in white I'll show you those a little bit better
with thee the mounts for the main engines but there is a major problem
with this build here and that's the relative sizing between the shuttle
itself the lander the orbiter / lander and the rest of the system that the main
big old fuel tank assembly is dwarfed and the SRBs are looking pretty tiny so
it's kind of a super deformed
representation that they have come up with here with the shuttle you know
getting most of most of the prominence in this display kind of not realistic in
that way but it still looks pretty cool and you can take the individual
components apart so the SRBs are just attached with Technic pins from
the sides so you can pull those out sometimes pins want to stay behind but
you don't take those off and you put it into its next state they do help to
stabilize the entire build but they're not critical so
just the orbiter Lander with the tanks and then you can just discard the tanks
by just pulling this entire assembly off leaving behind the very nice shuttle
which is definitely highlight to me of the entire set too bad you can't open up
the cargo bay that would have been extra nice but the
proportions here look pretty good especially like how they've attached the
engines back here and down in there are those one by one pieces that I mentioned
they actually allow you to rotate these from side to side ever so slightly you
can also adjust the angles of the engines overall if you want to bit so
you can get that top one facing up that works out well and just yeah just this
is a nice mini model just by itself I mean they could have sold this and maybe
they will at some point in the future sell just a slight revision of this as
its own little you know $3.00 head or something here's a closer look at the
figure for Sally Ride and I think her torso has the best print in the set just
a great level of detail there it has depth but it has fine details and yet it
doesn't look like it's trying to be too realistic at the same time just you know
has a very nice balance I think between capturing some realism means keeping it
in toy form that's very compatible with the looks of modern standard Lego
figures and does have print on the back which i think is equally good there's
not as much to see here but I think that it's appropriate and this is of course
another figure that has a second face so two possible expressions the most
serious one here I think I think this is a reused face I'm sure that I've seen
this both faces for this head before the other ones are actually new but I think
that it works out okay the hairpiece I think is fine not necessarily the very
best match but you know to reality but probably the
closest match that Lego had available in their inventory and then here is made
Jemison who comes with her helmet I'll just take that out of her hand
um Tara Lee it doesn't really get held there very well it's kind of sitting in
place but another really good torso here with a good level of detail lots of
depth in this one for sure lots and lots of puff depth and another just
good-looking figure a very pleasant face again with similar detailing or similar
shaping of the eyes to the Nancy Roman figure at least the the main larger
smiling face version of her and really good detailing on the back here with the
zipper and I like the two different tones of the silver with the brighter
color and also I guess they call it dark pearl grey which is technically the
gunmetal grey but here I think it's really just a couple of colors overlaid
but whatever it is technically I think it just looks really good and she does
have an alternate face which is a slightly more serious expression but I
think still works out well like again the shaping of the eyes works nicely and
I do want to go ahead and put the helmet on just so you can see the slightly more
complete form that looks great to me with the suit that goes together really
really nicely I'm very happy to see that this helmet and visor design that
Legolas used for so many years would work you know still in in a relatively
realistic depiction of character so this is nice so really an enjoyable high
quality set I think it it definitely exceeds my expectations quite
significantly with the figures and the builds alike I
appreciate very much the inclusion of all prints for everything with no
stickers I think that just everything here was done well it depicts
things that are just very positive good for education in general and I think
it's just all good in general however I will address the elephant in the room
that fuels discussion worldwide about things like this
the fact that Lego would obviously never make a set called men of NASA because
there would be riots and that's a problem that's a problem for this set
it's a problem for the potential of that set how people would respond to how the
company would respond I think that segregating the gender is out in in
general is is a bad policy not in terms of politics but just in terms of the
progression of humanity I think there are a plenty of scenarios where a gender
does matter but in science technology engineering and math I think it should
not matter and in an ideal world definitely I think that data would show
unequivocally that the accomplishments and contributions of women have been
under represented and under celebrated in modern society I think that that's
factual not an opinion I personally believe that is wrong and needs to be
fixed but I believe this is not the right way to fix it
you don't combat inequality with more inequality I'd like to see this be Legos
last time separating people out by their gender unnecessarily and I'd like to see
them set a really positive example for kids by showing that people are people
and great contributions of people to the progression of humanity technology and
society should be celebrated unequivocally and without conditions end
of rant anyway thank you for tuning in I hope that I showed you everything you
wanted to see this set and I hope to have a chance to
talk to you in soon because I'm always working on something new catch you later
you
