| There is clearly a reluctant to relaunch the Space theme. Maybe because of Star
Wars?
But Technic, City, Creator, and even Friends are doing some Space next year.
City has done a couple forays into Space and even used the Classic Space logo
in the last few years, but kept it where it looked roughly modern or near future,
so I bought into the idea. We have astronauts today, though the City stuff has
been a little advanced beyond us.
I am not sure I can link it here because LEGO hasn't officially announced,
but a retailer put out pictures of next year's City Space stuff and it is
SPACE. It is distant future, I would say out past Futuron. To me it really
looks like the first direct successor to Futuron. Why can they not call this
Space?

Brickset published the images. I think they follow the same rules as here.

Funny, I see them more as the missing link between Spaceport/NASA sets and Classic
Space

It IS called Space: there’s a big Space label with the CS logo on the boxes.
…But it’s under City 🤷♂️
Seems rather that City is the new System 🤪

This is another example of why categories need to have a many-to-many relationship,
and not purely a hierarchical tree structure. While this is about sets, a similar
problem exists for parts.

| It may look "futuristic" but IMO the City Space sets are closer in color
scheme and "style" to some of the previous City Space lines than to any
of the golden age LEGO Space themes like Futuron or Classic Space or the like
(I will never accept anything using trans-brown or trans-black for windscreens
as being a proper Space theme...
