I saw this book and paper set available on Think Geek today.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/sup ... 5/?cpg=92H
It's called Space Origami Set, it contains 120 sheets of brightly colored origami paper and a full-color 32 page instruction booklet to help you create space-themed origami shapes. With this set you can learn to make: a Star, Rocket, Lunar Module, Space Shuttle, Astronaut, Tracking Station, Super Nova.

Anyone know if it is any good?

My colleague bought this for several weeks ago in Praha. It is quite good.

$10 for six simple models seems a little steep to me... I'd buy a used origami book from somewhere. You can get a lot more for $10 if you look around a bit

The radar unit and the lunar module look clever... Lunar Module is two piece, astronaut looks like a robot ... Any more info about the models ? Or pictures ? Sounds like some of them are by Mark Bolitho.

Hmm yea that book looks like it is aimed towards people who have never folded before in their life so if you are looking for amatuer models this book looks like a good buy
