I'd be a bit worried if we couldn't even _mention_ that there'd been an
inadvertent leak. I often talk about serious illegalities, but I tend not to
commit them myself.

Given that "Mars Mission" has now appeared in an entirely legitimate Lego
publication, I think we should go crazy speculating on what other new products
there might be in the theme.

One interesting thing is how these "Town in Space" sets have a similar style
to Classic Space -- not especially futuristic, just an extrapolation of where
the real-world space program could go in a few years. It seems a bit sad that
in the past 25 years or so these dreams have become so much more limited.
