How Many Bricks to the Moon?

Field notes

The calculator models a straight-line tower and adjusts its result for the selected brick orientation. Its assumptions distinguish LEGO stacking, where a stud nests into the tube below, from masonry courses, where a mortar joint is added to the bedding face. Results extend beyond the headline count to include altitude per brick, total mass, rough single-unit cost, estimated build time, and landmarks along the ascent.
