I'm guessing that they never did actually "sell" that as a set, but rather it was just a promotional item they made. There was a big push in schools about the space program prior to the challenger launch because there was a school teacher going up. (...) (22 years ago, 6-Dec-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

When I was wading through my brochures from the 80's , something caught my eye. On the back page of the 1986 US LEGO brochure is a poster titled ''All Systems Go!'' (P-1) that was about 19''x25''. (Did it go off the market after the Challenger (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Adrian, I agree a UCS space shuttle would be awesome, I've been a big space shuttle nut since I was a kid and 8480 still tops my list of all-time LEGO.

(...) Really frickin' huge :) The station is 240 feet across the solar arrays, 146 feet long, and 90 feet high. Using an extremely rough minifig scale conversion of 1:40, we're talking 6 feet by 3.6 feet by 2.3 feet. That would cover a tabletop area (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.lego.direct)
