going to the second level, there’s a small gray brick spinning
lethargically on a thin pedestal. According to

Danish brickmaker and European Space Agency, that Lego piece was crafted
from meteorite dust. While you won’t see astronauts going into space to try

building mankind’s first real lunar structures.
