And 5) I don't have any of them, and I'm not the only one.
Also, they're difficult to store. My wife and I (no kids, thankfully)
live in a 600 sq. ft. 2BR house (yes, I've even measured it), and have
a very limited budget for LEGO.
However, I still have all my space crater & landing plates from my
childhood. Any contribution I make to this effort (and I would like
to make one) would have to be using those plates, at least for now.
