Project Hail Mary

Built from 830 pieces, this microscale spacecraft recreates the Hail Mary from the science fiction story, complete with a functional display stand that demonstrates the ship's rotating crew module. The set includes a Ryland Grace minifigure and Rocky figure to represent the story's main characters.

Interactive Display Features

The model incorporates a working centrifugal gravity system - turn the crank on the display stand to send the crew module into orbit around the main spacecraft, simulating how artificial gravity would function in space. This mechanical feature brings the scientific concepts from the story to life in brick form.

Scale and Dimensions

The completed model measures 30 cm high, 25 cm long, and 22 cm wide including the display stand, making it a substantial desk or shelf display piece. The microscale approach captures the essential design elements of the spacecraft while maintaining manageable proportions for adult builders and science fiction enthusiasts.
