Rather sad. I mean, if they went to all the trouble to get pictures, then
why not look in an encyclopedia? The story itself is cheap, "Maybe we'll
find life on Mars!". There are a few problems with it, for instance stars
do not twinkle in space, and there is no room for a T3-Trike to fit in the
ship. Also, why would NASA send an untrained civilian to Mars, for free, at
an astronomical cost (thousands of dollars just to get into orbit)? Someone
else first mentioned that stars don't twinkle in space because there is no
atmosphere to distort the light. Maybe the ship is leaking oxygen? Maybe
Lego needs to do LOTS more research on the subject? Any student who does a
research project on the subject can tell you these things. Lego IS supposed
to be educational, why give false information to kids?

| The LEGO company must have been waiting untill one of us found the mars sets. It looks like a mission log. Pretty cool. it has some real space photos, but so far it is only one page. Check it out! (URL) (24 years ago, 22-Nov-00, to lugnet.announce)
