This may sound like a weird question but, if Life on Mars is indeed a LEGO Space theme, why is it not any place in LEGO Space? Even a link would be nice, such as one to Star Wars. If Life on Mars does not fit into LEGO space, where does it fit into (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)

(...) My guess is it fits somewhere along the linewith UFO, although it did come out aroundthe same time as spaceport, but I've seen few links between those. I'm guessing their were early UFO colonies. Just a theory there. (...) Good question. My (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.space)
