Rebuttal: There are no spaceships, therefore they is not space :-)

Cars carried across the Channel in ferries are not called boats, and are
generally not nautical in any way.

So sets 6821, 452, 493, 886, 889, 6952, 6989 are not part of Space?  How
very interesting.

I think the main emphasis is on the fact that there
are no spaceships in the Rock Raiders theme.  Not one.
Not a scrap.  All the Rock Raiders sets are underground
vehicles or underground installations, while M:Tron (6989)
and Classic Space contain both on-land and inter-planetary
vehicles in the range, and that's why they are space themes.

Of course, a range composed of nothing but flyers would
be uninteresting and that's why there are a mix in what
I consider to be the successful space sub-themes.

Just a clarification

(...) OK. What about Roboforce? It's definitely Space. There are no ships in any of the RF sets. There is one flyer, in RoboMaster. (I do realize that RR is in the Underground System, not Space. I'm just carrying on for the nitpicking fun of it.) (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
