Your Geeky Saturn / Moon Weekend?
Discussion
Note that is not a Saturn moon for all your Daily Mail readers out there 
Well mine started off with a bang, not literally, when the DPD driver dropped off my Lego Lunar Lander. Sadly he did not say whilst handing it over in it's brown cardboard box that defends against the Van Allen belts :-
"The eagle has landed"
No, he just said "Can you sign for this here please". I wonder if Mike, Buzz and Neil had to sign stuff like that?
Anyhow. I digress.
Here it is in it's first stage glory. My French hifi system in the background (Le Voyage dans la Lune 1902)

Interestingly they seem to have supplied a lunar rover which looks like a child rocket, perhaps due to money issues in Europe, and the sea landing air bags for the command capsule that looks like packaging! Perhaps that would have been fine on the sea of tranquility? With 1/6 g ?
