The Luna Gingerbread Spaceship Tradition

In 2001 me and my wife-to-be built a spaceship in gingerbread together with a friend. This started the annual gingerbread spaceship tradition.

If you know us you are welcome to join us any year on the first Sunday of advent at (usually) around two o'clock.

Rules

The spaceship rule: The target should always be a spaceworthy vessel. This could include space stations, satellites and battle cruisers. In theory a space suit would also fit the description.
It can be real or fantastic: The spaceship does not have to be from real life. It could just as well be from a TV show, a book or any other myth.
ThreeD: The ship should be a 3D model of the chosen subject.
No preparation: It is not allowed to plan the spaceship in advance or have any prepared scetches. Bringing a book with spaceships or a picture collection or something like that is encouraged though.
Crazy ideas are encouraged: The crazier the better.

2003 — Sputnik 1

We beat the Russians in the Space Race by placing Laika inside Sputnik 1. Laika was actually a mutated pig.

Since spherical shapes are very hard to do, we made Sputnik a dodecahedron instead. We then added antennas and things.

Persons present included: Kakan, Luna, Ante, Magnus Törne and others (please help me with this list).

Unfortunately I don't know if there are any pictures of this year's construction at all. Please let me know if you have any.
