   Celebrated Nasa breaking the projectile velocity record by watching the Thunderbirds episode Sunprobe, which is basically the same thing except the probe has a crew of 3 and something goes wrong and they have to be saved from crashing into the sun by Thunderbird 3

   This episode contains several instances of technobabble, several years before OG Star Trek

     @julesh when did the nomenclature "OG Star Trek" start replacing "Star Trek TOS" ?

     @apt12 I find "TOS" very confusing because there are 3 series of it. It probably only makes sense if you're speaking American, where you'd say it was "3 seasons long"

     @julesh ah ok. for me all the words in TOS are plural (maybe I pronounce series (pl) slightly differently than series (sing) - and I speak only english english ;-) )

     @apt12 It comes from Original Gangster but probably half of people who say it don't know that by now
