I have five questions for you, Kyle.  The first question is do you have a
real picture available of your ship and not a picture drawn on the computer?

That is a real picture. It was taken with my digital camera, and the
background was inserted with photoshop.

The second question is where are the wings on your space craft?

<snip>

Well, since there is no gravity (ok, very little) there is no need for them.
Wings are used for lift, so the aircraft can get off the ground. But with no
gravity, there is no need for lift, so there is no need for wings. But I
will admit, lots of us space builders but wings on our ships cause they just
look cool. :-) It is a fantasy world anyways right?

The third question is why does Legoland
Space and Futuron/Futureworld share the same logo yet they are considered to
be two different systems?  I believe that there is a Futuron/Futureworld I
and a Futuron/Futureworld II as with the Space Police and Blacktron Lego
sets.  Do you consider my opinion to be wrong in this question to you, Kyle?

Hmm, this is kinda a hard one. I consider it Classic Space and Futuron. that
is pretty much the lugnet standard. As far as the logo, I think it is the
general logo for LEGO Space, not a one for any cetain sub-theme. Varations
of it can be found in the Ice Planet and Alpha Team(allthough not really
space) themes.

The fourth question is why is there not an Exploriens section on the Lugnet
Space section?  The Exploriens were part of Lego Space so I believe that
they should have a part on the Lugnet Lego space bulletin boards.

Like someone allready mentioned, those links are not to more specific
newsgroups, but to all the sets from that particular theme. Exploreins is
there, but the link is missing. Why, I dunno...

The fifth
question is I am looking for a particular Lego piece that has a two stud
width and a two stud length, is cylinderical in shape, and has fins on the
side that suggest that these pieces were used as either motors or the bases
to a rocket.  Do you know how I can obtain some of these pieces and the
names of these pieces, Kyle?

All I can suggest is looking around in the Lugnet parts ref
(guide.lugnet.com) to find the name of the part. Then go to brickbay.com and
search for it. I bet youcan find some there.

Thank you for helping me, Kyle.
Jesse Long
