Adam Woodworth (@ajwoodpieceon Instagram) does some cool stuff with his free time with Lego,Watch Disciple of Deokjin Yuk Online foam, motors, and other DIY project faves, and his latest effort is an homage to the Apollo 11 landing.
The first NASA mission to put astronauts on the surface of the moon happened almost 50 years ago, on July 20, 2019. To celebrate the approaching anniversary, Woodworth picked up Lego's recently released Apollo 11 Lunar Lander set with an eye toward making some modifications.
In short: he wanted to recreate the famed landing on video using a powered, flight-capable version of the Lego lander.
It wasn't a simple process. The actual Lego kit, once assembled, is a mostly solid mass of blocks. In order to make his own version work with the necessary motors -- T-Motor F-40's with 4-inch propellers, according to the YouTube description -- Woodworth needed to clear out some interior space.

Not only did Woodworth solve the issue, he did it relying almost entirely on the power of Lego bricks. There's no glue used here at all, and only a handful of screws used to affix the motors to plates that help keep them in place.
The whole build weighs in at almost two pounds, which Woodworth described as "quite heavy for its size." It's still capable of flight, though, albeit in 90-second increments. Woodworth described how he positioned the motors at different heights so the rotors could overlap, to "get as much disk area as possible."
Here's a test run boomerang of the modified lander in action, though it wasn't quite finished at this point.

Woodworth finally put the whole thing together in a video recreating the famed moon landing, using public domain audio of the actual event from the NASA archives. It's a wild ride.
Bear in mind: this is only part one. Woodworth also intends to show the lander's exit from the moon, though that might require some fiddling with the electronics to get it working. He posted the video in late June, so hopefully he'll have plenty of time to get his project done before the actual anniversary.
