Antarctic SnowCruiser

While building my latest M:Tron post I realized it was getting to be too long, but I didn't want to pass up an opportunity to show off this little known exploratory mobile lab that was sent to Antarctica in what would be a disastrous attempt to make something awesome for science.

This 1930's Antarctic Snow Cruiser is one of the more obscure marvels of massive overkill   Joeld's History of the Antarctic Snowcruiser.

This beast carried an airplane on its back and was intended to traverse the Antarctic landscape; too bad it didn't work in snow very well.  It went through field testing on sand before meeting its untimely end alone in Antarctica, abandoned during World War II.

While Antarctic Snowcruiser isn't a space vehicle per se, I really think it would fit in well with the absurdity, creativity, and ingenuity inherent in the Danish toy maker's bigger Science fiction Rovers. That is my main reason for sharing it, and now you know it exists...no need to thank me, you're welcome.

Mega Core Magnetizer...the inspiration for its inclusion.


















Moon Rover; it's small, but it's got the flying craft on its back and it looks cool...that's my reason.



















Mobile Recovery Vehicle














70709 Galactic Titan from Galaxy Squad  It's current, and if you want in on Lego Space without breaking the moneyjar on unopened sets this is your current go to theme.
