“The base is built onto two baseplates that are supposed to represent a crater. It consists of a blue building, a launch rack for the spacecraft and the monorail track. The monorail track consists of three rail pieces that were also used to create the train tracks for the... More LEGO Trains theme. On the track is a an open monorail cart with two seats.”

“Included are 2 red and 2 white spacemen each come with airtanks. Also included are 2 walkie talkies, a wrench, a space gun, and a clear mug. Also in this set is this really cool flag that has the Space Logo. Two vehicles are included in this set: A tool buggy that carries... More around the wrench tool.”

It even boasts a tiny monorail for the long trek between the base and the launcher. So technically this is the first space monorail... More (more on those later).”
