Interplanetary station had on its board, not only scientific instruments, but also three LEGO® aluminium figures of Jupiter, Juno and Galileo. The spacecraft went to the orbit of Jupiter in August 2016.

FACT #2. Do you know how many minifigures have been created during the entire existence of the company? No? Just imagine that more than 10 minifigures are made every second in the world. And if you collect all the released minifigures, then you will be able to fill about 170 swimming pools.

FACT #5. LEGO® takes care of the safety of the smallest discoverers. If it happens that a part of a minifigure accidentally gets stuck in the throat of a baby, he will be able to breathe, because there is a small hole at the top of each LEGO® minifigure part. But if the baby still swallowed the part, then due to the fact that barium sulphate is part of the plastic, the part will be clearly visible on X-rays and it will be easy to detect.
