They'd be fun to revisit. I looked for the _Disney in Space_ set on EBay and
found three. One of the components is "Mars and Beyond". Is that the one I
remember from my old "Disneyland" TV days as having a lot of entertaining
speculation on what Martian plants might look like -- things like
transparent shells to block UV rays, that sort of thing? If so, it had some
very cool art.
