It seems that
a re-boot of Thunderbirds is happening. A good idea? Time will tell, I suppose.

I'm skeptical - I only found out about Thunderbirds recently, and Dizzy and I were talking about some other attempts to re-create the show. While I've only seen one episode, I don't think it's capable of being topped
.
(I'd
really like to see more now, so if anyone knows where to find the complete series on-line, I'd be greatly obliged
)

Captain Scarlet was better than Thunderbirds, I reckon. How well Thunderbirds would translate to CGI... I don't know!

Never heard of Captain Scarlet, but looking it up it looks similar to Thunderbirds. I still think Thunderbirds is cooler with all the ships, especially since I had a toy similar to
this one as a kid which I got at a garage sale back in the early 80's (and of course, not knowing what a cool show it came from
). Even as an adult, it was exciting when they were preparing that awesome ship in the first episode
(I hate to think about how excited I would have been as a kid watching it
).

I don't know "Thunderbirds", so at first I thought "
hey, what's wrong with Thunderbird? I like my email-proggy as it is!!"
But since you guys talk so much about the show, I am curious... I guess I'll have to check it out!

There seem to be several episodes on YouTube...

Neat article ZygoUgo - seems like a viable alternative, let's see if it can "take off"
.

Seems like mandoman was ahead of the game
It would make a lot of sense for gas elevated vehicles for planetary lifting duties, up into orbit. Maybe we could do with a few variations of lifter to join the shuttles and transporters.
But then I guess surface to station trading in this manner depends on the relative inflation rates.

I just hope if they reboot it that they do a better job than that god-awful film a few years back.
