It's kind of problematic. LOM feels like an advancement from
Town-Spaceport, which is comparable to today's NASA, maybe put a few years
into the future. My own Lego mythology has the Spaceport guys staging a
mission to Mars, and when they get there they discover the Martians. The
sharing of technology leads to advances for both races, down the road
leading to all of the other Space themes.
The only problem with this scheme is that the classic space sets don't seem
to descend from the space shuttle, but instead from the Apollo lunar
missions. So here is my proposal:
Real world:
1969 - Neil Armstrong
1980's-2000's - Space Shuttle
Lego
early 2000's - Town Spaceport
say around 2040 - first manned Mars mission meets Martians, leads to LOM
say around 2100-2150 explorers are scouring the solarsystem and nearby
systems - Classic Space - for some reason there was a retro craze at the
time so everything harked back to the Apollo designs
2200 and on - as intersteller travel and trade become common, other themes
like police become necessary, different colonies have different designs,
sometimes fitted to the demands of their star systems (like ice-covere
planets, etc), meeting up with aliens introduces other themes like UFO
Of course, SW was in a galaxy "far far away", so until intergalactic travel
becomes possible there's no need to integrate these.
