I LOVE this! Thank you for sharing this with us...THIS is something I can use in the near future with my grandson. Our house also has huge LEGO enthusiasts in it. :) Congratulations to your daughter and family for participating in this fun learning experience. Great memories being made.

God bless your daughter and her sense of wonder about the universe. I hope sometime in her life she witnesses the wonder of man returning to the exploration of space. Perhaps she will be one of those astronauts. I was 13 when we landed on the moon and my sense of wonder has continued to this day (I have a room full of books and models to prove it!) Thanks for reminding me of the first package I received from NASA. Tell your daughter to never lose her sense of wonder!

The future CEO of Taggart Transgalactic?

Very nice. I did the same thing as a child, asking for a job after college. I was about 20 years late showing up, but I did work on the space shuttle. Your daughter has a great future ahead of her. You are obviously a good parent.

aww, she is an adorable girl! I'm happy for her and hope she continues exploring science. great story, will. thanks for sharing.

first of all, she is completely precious! yum! also, she will remember getting that package her WHOLE life. awesome. give us a glimpse into some of her ideas-unless you think they need to be protected-in which case PM dbhalling. ;)

I also did this when I was young and NASA sent me a package that was truly impressive. It made my older sister jealous causing her to write a letter too. Only she must not have wrote the right words or something because her return wasn't anything near what mine had been with full-colour photos and more. Neither of us grew up to be astronauts but I did join the Air Force. I wish I knew what happened to my letter. It's nice to see NASA still inspiring our youth.

That is fantastic. She is in good hands. Thanks for sharing.

That's wonderful. A budding engineer there. I'm glad NASA did that, what a great way to encourage a child.

Awesome thing Will. Congrats on all, all around.

What a lovely child and a wonderfully memorable experience!

That is really cool. Thank you for sharing this Will.

It proves that at least someone in Government has the welfare of the people at heart, and your daughter is cute too!

That is so cool. Thanks for sharing it. I am sure that made her day,the guys at NASA are great for doing that.
