@Phaedra and any other Space Patrol fans… One thing which punches home from the series is the free and easy approach to weapons of mass destruction. When some disastrous event threatens say, a city or an ocean and conventional solutions won’t work then Colonel Raeburn is quick to go to the Red Button. On a number of occasions he is heard to say, “Well, we’ll have to send in the nuclear missiles/rockets/bombs…”
Series made in 1962 and I thought they knew about fallout contamination then.
