Just what I needed to finalize my new Olympus Luxori place, with a Space Station @ 4000m to go with it. (not the one that you produce, unfortunately, as that takes more prims that I have available, alas) Great product thanks! AAA+++

A Splendid Space Museum

filled with lots of displays, many of which are interactive. The Webb telescope "mirror" is delightful! (It doesn't use the usual SL tricks.) It has a high land impact, but given the quantity of items included, that was inevitable.

A couple tips:

To accommodate its size, I put mine on a sky platform. If you do this, note that you need fencing or some other boundary to keep visitors playing with the rover from tumbling off the edge!

To cut down a wee bit on the land impact, I purchased the creator's separate Hubble. It looks and functions the same.

There are so many gorgeous Hubble images available, that I'm thinking about adding a simple slideshow viewer next to the telescope. (Not that this build needs more displays!)
