So the 'Life on Mars' sets are ok, since they are strictly 'ground'

I realize that most vehicles in the LoM-series are ground vehicles,
but there is the 7315 Solar Explorer, which is clearly a flying space
ship.  I also seem to recall that some of the alternate models in the
LoM-series are flying space ships, but I'm not sure.


Anyway, the contract may have been worded slightly different from your
quote, so that the Solar Explorer is accepted anyway.


But still, I would say that the distinction between LoM and a full
fledged space theme is small and subtle.  So the clause in the
contract can hardly be worth much in my opinion!

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.
