LEGO Launches Sale of 'Women of NASA' Minifigures Set

History-making astronauts Sally Ride and Mae Jemison now share store shelf space with ninjas, knights and superheroes as the newest LEGO minifigures to launch for sale.

"Women of NASA," a new LEGO Ideas set celebrating the achievements of female pioneers from the space agency's 60-year history, debuted in LEGO stores and toy shops on Wednesday (Nov. 1).

The 231-piece set, which is available for $24.99, features four minifigures and three small builds "great for role-playing space exploration missions," LEGO describes on its website.

In addition to Ride, who was the first American woman in space, and Jemison, the first woman of color in space, the "Women of NASA" set includes minifigures modeled after computer scientist Margaret Hamilton, who led the creation of the software for NASA's moon-bound Apollo spacecraft, and astronomer Nancy Grace Roman, known to many as the "Mother of Hubble" for her role in planning the famous space telescope.
