I seem to remember one that had "countdown" numbers on the top or
something, what set did it come in?

How many different patterns were there?

  I'm aware of at least two.  One is from 6970 (Beta-I Command
  Base), and shows the ground-level shot of a standing rocket
  with a white Classic space guy in the lower right corner, looking
  up at it.  The numbers at the top (six positions) say "L.L.2079"
  (the dots are with the Ls).

  493 Space Command Center (O that of the varying baseplates?)
  also had one of these in a different pattern; that's a floating
  white Classic space dude, again from the back, working on some
  geegaw floating in space.  I'm not aware what the digits read
  on that one, because I don't own any copies of that set (gasp!).

That part also has LL2079 on it. I think the geegaw is supposed to be a
satellite. I own 1 copy of the set :-)

  I'm not aware of any other patterns for that part, or any other
  appearances--but others naturally have much better knowledge than
  I of the Space run.

IIRC, those are the only 2 in classic space. It's my guess that 2079 is
supposed to be the year.

spamcake on the moon.

Just to add a bit more information, the brick with the minifig floating in
space and working on a satellite also came in a Space accessory pack that
you could order from S@H.  That is where I got mine.  I believe that the
pack was called "Blue Space Elements".  I got it sometime in the early
1980's.

(...) I have catalogues printed 1981 and 1986 showing that parts pack. In both it is listed as parts pack 12. It's in the guide, too: (URL) #203, Windsor, Ontario, Canada (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.space)
