My guess is that it is just a simple mistake by Todd.

Wow... that was really awkwardly worded. But I think I get your idea. First
of all, what is with "Futureworld?" There was never any line of products by
this name. The line you probably mean is Futuron. The reason Futuron is
considered seperate from Classic Space is because 1. Futuron was actually
declared as a subtheme of the Space System, where Classic Space had all
generic sets within that system. 2. The minifigs are different, as are the
color schemes. Also, I do not see where you are coming from when you say
that the Space Police symbol is similar to CS and Futuron. While CS and
Futuron do both have the orbiting shuttle logo, Space Police's logo is the
words "SPACE POLICE."

Yes, I think it is safe to say that "I know the truth" about the situation.
Classic Space got started back in 1978, and then for whatever reason Lego
decided around 1987 to start running two parallel but seperate lines of
Space toys that had real names and have been dubbed as "subthemes:" Futuron
and Blacktron. After these two subthemes debuted, Classic Space hung around
for maybe a year at the most and then fizzled out. Space Police came a
couple of years later and so was never run parallel to Classic Space. Space
Police was its own subtheme and was never a part of Futuron or Classic Space.
Hopefully this will solve some of your confusion.
