In the early space sets there were obvious oddities such as the use of a steering wheel to drive the spacecraft and even though it lacks any on board pilot protection except that of the space suit, it was still fancy adequate to spark the imaginations of kids back then. From battleships and the basic 4 wheeled vehicles, the theme supplementary advanced and was often said to be following the trends of science fiction movies prevalent at that time. As their development continued, the vehicle designs became more advanced as well.
The increasing of Lego minifigures, robots, space bases, buggies, as well as, larger battleships soon followed. These early sets, though maybe rather humble when compared to today's standards, were some of the most contemporary among other sci-fi inspired toys while that time. They were straightforward yet very charming toys that kids adored. Eventually, gray come to be a major color for this theme which well fitted to its very futuristic and utilitarian theme. There were also more building base plate type Lego parts, in that color, that were being made. More often than not, these gray parts were paired with green, which can be seen in the space ships windows. Other dominant colors also included yellow and blue.
The most modern of space Lego sets would be Life on Mars, which included interaction in the middle of the human Lego minifigs and the Martian ones. It shows a very peaceful co-existence in the middle of both races and was released while a time when there was much interest and curiosity surrounding the red planet and the possibility of other beings living on it. The new set incorporated what was concept to be very reminiscent of a Martian landscape, thus the sand that was colored in green, red and purple.
Though not as colorful as the former sets, it did highlight a first, which are the transparent brown windows for the battleships. Following the issue of Life on Mars, 2007 saw the debut of Mars Mission, which is the second installment in the series of Mars linked sets. Unlike the early ones where the humans and extra terrestrials existed peacefully, these sets saw them being pitted against each other which was what the children did with the first set anyway.
