Happy Birthday, Astro Boy
Today is the day Astro Boy is born/comes online.
The reality is that we still have Astro's ancestors dancing silly dances at trade shows. "The Year 2001" seemed so far away in the mid-60s.Where are Astro, Gigantor, Speed Racer, The Thunderbirds, Stingray, Fireball XL5 and the Jupiter 2?
Space 1999 and S.H.A.D.O belong to "alternative histories," and now Astro has joined them.
