| | | 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. Unfortunately, I recently noticed a big Mega Bloks Space Shuttle at TRU. I have a feeling (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.lego.direct)

I'd love to see a minifig scale set like that built with UCS quality and part quantities :-) And a true minifig scale Space Shuttle to go with it (sold separately) -Tim [1] Naturally, (...)

| | | | | | | | (...) 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)

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)
