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.  It was probably done as some sort of tie in to
that.

(I'd like to see it as a set though!)

I did a quick upload (might run into an error message) of another picture I found but in a 1987 SAH. This one looks a lot better than the wanna-be that Mega Bloks make (hate those guys!). (URL) guess they didn't stop selling it after Challenger. -- (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-03, to lugnet.lego.direct)
