Back in 1978, when the very first LEGOLAND Space sets came out, all there
was were red and white space figs. This was just a few years after the
famous Apollo-Soyuz mission, and so for that reason, I think I always
figured that the white minifigs were American/USA/Astronauts and the red
minifigs were Soviet/CCCP/Cosmonauts. After all, the first 3 LEGOLAND Space
sets did seem very much like "real-life" things that could conceivably
happen on Earth's moon sometime in the early 21st Century. :)
