Hmmmm.  Good Stuff!  I never thought of it like that.  But those early sets
really did have the feal of something that could really happen.  I remember
that well.  Lego Space had alot to with my early interest in Sci-Fi (and hence
my interst now as well).

I just always thought red/blue was for the men and white/yellow for the

sister bossing me around :-)

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.  :)
