Oh well. It’s still better than no Space sets at all.

Yeah, I definitely agree with the opinion that a return to exploration-based space sets would be cool. Should have been something like “Mars Mission 2025”, pehaps with a modular interplanetary vessel (big set), maybe some robot support cargo-vessels (or a regular Earth-Mars ferry), some landers and other surface vehicles (small & medium), and a base (big), etc. Could have an exobiology lab, too, looking for possible subseruface microbes. This time with ruddy-colored Mars crater plates. Another line of sets could be oriented toward Martian polar exploration (a la Ice Planet), or Valles Marinaris.

I’ll just have to live with what I can get, I suppose... Indeed, most of the new line of sets could be modified into exploration with minimal effort, I suspect. :o)

-best,

Wolf
