Good one! I'm pretty sure I had that very set... one of my first ones in fact.
It was part of a larger set, back in... 1985 I think. Legos are great :) It's a
shame I gave them all away :(

It's one of the very, very few LEGO space sets of those first years which I
never ever owned... *sigh*
My first one (from the space series) was that very first "moon car", the one
with the satellite dish. I actually think it was the very first minifig-scale
space model LEGO ever published.
My favourite has always been the big fat space cruiser from the first spasheship
generation though. You know, the good old blue/grey ones, with those
LL-designation bricks... they still knew how to build gread models from mostly
standard bricks, back then... ah, those were the days...

We, grumbling old men, lwe ived before your blessed Lego generation :-) But
we had Schucco, and Dincky Toy, and Meccano, and Matchbox to play with! Ah!
Those were the days! I also owned a kind of forerunner to Lego (don't
remember the name just now) also with plastic bricks but a bit larger...

Of these, "Matchbox" is the only brand I do recognize :) They weren't my
favourite brand of metal toy cars though...

You're not talking about Duplo, are you? ;)

No, that would be probably some years too late - I had the same model
(Space Shuttle), but that was when I was 10 years old, i. e. in 1979/80!
See you in Khyberspace!

Do you mean the LL 928 "Galaxy Cruiser" with radar station and moon
rover (storable in the back of the ship)? I had this too, as well as the
smaller LL 918 spaceship!
Oh, I wish I had the time to re-enact my childhood science fiction
fantasies with PoV-Ray...
See you in Khyberspace!

Now that you mention it: IIRC this was not only one of the few models I never
possessed, but also one of the very few that was re-issued some time again
later.

Yeah - exactly that one! It was called "Raumkreuzer" here in Germany.
I owned all three (well, together with my brother that is)... the parts and
instructions for the LL 918 and LL 928 are still in my possession.
Unfortunately I lost the instructions for the medium sized ship - and probably
so many of the tail-fins were broken that I couldn't build all of them at once
now.
