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 (25 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.space)
