It was my impression that Life on Mars was supposed to be a supliment to the
town theme. To interact with the Space Port sub-theme.

So I think the intent was that it wouldn't be a "full fledged space theme".
Just a bunch of normal astronauts that landed on Mars, and oh, look what we
found, LIFE. IMO (1) a space theme is somewhat futuristic. With
lasers(blasters), faster than light travel, and artifical gravity (not created
thru rotation pull, but whatever they do on Star Trek/Star Wars). That is what
Space was to me.

(1) Keep in mind this opinion comes from someone who has some space stuff from
his childhood, but doesn't consider himself a spacehead. All my space related
stuff (not including Star Wars stuff) is in the basement in ziplock bags in a
box.
