On this day in 1962, the animated show Space Angel premiered featuring the voices of Ned Le Fevre, Margaret Kerry, Hal Smith, Johnny Coons, and Pat Kearin. It was mostly cheap, storyboard animation where secondary characters somehow always had their mouths covered, and when close-up speaking was required they used a technique called Synchro-Vox, which involved superimposing live-action footage of human lips onto static, illustrated animated characters. For 52 adventures/stories (which were divided into 260 five-minute segments) Scott McCloud, the Space Angel (a secret agent for the Earth Bureau of Investigation), cruised the spaceways in his ship, the Starduster, fighting to protect the solar system. It was cheap and silly and, for some of us, a beloved and ineradicable childhood memory.

Attention space nerds! Grrr. NASA had 3 years to fix fuel leaks on its Artemis moon rocket. Why are they still happening?
