Notes

  1. An earlier version of the game by Brian Moriarty featured an additional character named Toshi Olema, a paying passenger on the mission.[9]
  2. Stated to be a "two-star general" (p. 13) and a "Brigadier General" (a one-star rank) (p. 204).
  3. References to lunar bases and an expedition to Titania suggest the story is set in the 21st century rather than the 20th.
  4. The acronym "O.T.C." appears on the space station and rocket models.
  5. Not stated to be a crewed booster.
  6. Promoted to Lt Col. at the novel's conclusion.
  7. Exact year is not specified, but references to extensive orbital infrastructure suggest a time in the late 20th/early 21st C relative to the date of publication.
  8. The story is set fifty years after The Claws of Axos.
  9. Incorrectly named "Kyoko Takamura" in Volume 1 crew portrait caption (p. 155).
  10. This origin story for Metallo differs from other versions, in which Corben is not an astronaut. See the Metallo article.
  11. Not explicitly stated to be an astronaut.
