I'm with Jeffrey. I think a lot of people get very nostalgic for Classic Space,
and rate it higher because of their history with the line.
Personally, I get nostalgic for the Explorien Starship, because it was the first
big set I bought completely for myself, without pretending I was just buying it
for the kids. Now, a lot of people don't care for this set, because of numerous
deficencies, but I think it is awesome. :)
Every LEGO set needs somebody to love it. (did I just write that? Blech!)

Realistic? Take another look at that set. The engines are mounted on the cargo
doors! How realistic is that? ;)
