A LEGO space station, built in outer space, on a space station.

It took more than 200 astronauts from 12 countries more than a dozen years to build the International Space Station (ISS). Satoshi Furukawa, an astronaut from Japan, matched that feat in just about two hours — and he did it all while aboard the orbiting outpost itself.
It helped that his space station was made out of LEGO.
“It was a great opportunity for me to have built the LEGO space station,” Furukawa, a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) flight engineer.
The LEGO space station was assembled inside of this glovebox containment enclosure to prevent any kind of potential dangers.
Yeah.
I believe it.
I see what my 5 year old does with a bucket of LEGOS with gravity, I can only imagine what it would be like for an entire unassembled LEGO set to be released in a zero gravity environment!
