“The Futuron color scheme and Rorschach symmetry of the Polaris 1 Space Lab makes it the most visually striking of the classic Lego Space Bases. The only set to use the dark trans-blue windows. One of my favorite sets.”
Full review at brickset.com
“The Polaris-I is a small launching site (almost entirely in white with some black and transparent blue pieces) with an elevated platform for the satellite gantry and two sheltered control booths. The model is effective in portraying an experimental station. The addition of... More the mini-runways is kind of fun but the runways are too short to seem very useful”
“Rocket-launching base featuring twin monorails leading to scooter launch pads. Comes with three blue astronauts. I love the diagonal bilateral symmetry. This could easily have been a Futuron set.”
