Did anyone else feel sad when they saw this?
Watching Voyage to the Planets made me so sad. It aired just as the war in Iraq was getting really nasty, and the cultural references - pop music on Mars, for instance - gave the show a really contemporary, alternate-universe feel - as if at some point in the '80s we'd chosen the wrong future, stirring up wars and destroying the USSR when we could have chosen to make peace and explore space.
Does anyone else feel this way? I'd love to write a plausible alternate-universe story along those lines, but it would probably depress me even more :-(
