There was an ISS set built on the real ISS, but it needed to be disassembled after two hours due to the fire hazard. Unfortunately, that version can't be built on the ground: "It's a solid model but I believe it can't bear its own weight under gravity,"
> Made up of hundreds of bricks, the model was launched in partially-preassembled "chunks" to help make up for the difficulties working with very small pieces in microgravity. The space station could not be launched fully-assembled, because like the real orbiting outpost, it could only be built in space.
> The LEGO station's time fully assembled was short lived however. Due to the flammability hazards, the toy bricks could only be exposed to the open cabin air for two hours.
