NASAโ€™s Perseverance Rover drilled into Marsโ€™s Jezero crater and pulled up a piece of mudstone covered in markings that resemble those left behind by metabolizing microbes on Earth. More investigation is needed but still, the finds are incredibly exciting.

A wooden table with a half destroyed Lego Enterprise D saucer section and assorted bricks scattered around

Sabotage! Unfortunately the shipyard was struck by two Romulan agents last night - tentatively identified as Grav Itee and Bโ€™utt erfin Gers which has caused some damage to the saucer section. Fortunately no raw materials were lost and the ship was in testing phase so we will persevere!

Lego enterprise D with a partially constructed saucer section now connected to the warp section and mounted on a Lego stand. 

Thereโ€™s a row of minifigures in front consisting of Geordi, Data, Picard, Riker, Dr Crusher and Wesley

And we have a connection! Work still to do on the saucer but this is looking more like a starship now :)

Wide-angle view of a wooden dining table where a partially constructed Lego model of the Star Trek Enterprise-D lies flat in the center, its saucer section incomplete with exposed studs and hinged grey panels. Behind it, the battle bridge section with the deflector and warp nacelles is on a black lego stand

Time to get back to it! Our saucer section is coming along nicely with the skeleton in place!

What are politicians talking about? The UK government keeps putting out messages but no one is listening because they are incomprehensible

Would be interesting to get @alastaircampbell2.bsky.socialโ€™s thoughts on this interesting piece in the FT:

The Lego Enterprise D model now with the warp nacelles installed. Itโ€™s the bottom half of the ship and is missing the saucer section.

Phew, it took a while to get the warp nacelles constructed (the bussard collectors were particularly fun!). Also we have our first Starfleet logo! I believe sheโ€™s battle ready now! Could potentially take on the Borg :)

Halfway there!

Half completed Lego Enterprise D in the background with a bunch of mini figures in the foreground and a pile of Lego bricks in between. The figures are Geordi La Forge holding a briefcase, Riker holding a trombone, Dr Crusher holding a tricorder and Wesley holding his portable tractor beam

Happy New Year! We have most of the battle bridge ready AND the deflector!! Feel almost ready to take on the Borg! We could use an engineer at this point tho instead of Riker with his Trombone but here we are
