The 20th July 2009 is the 40th anniversary of the first manned landing on the moon.
An old man sits in the train
Old and dirty, in pain
Excited children running up and down
Causes old man to frown
Thinking to himself, "why is it time to die"
A cycle to renew
Only one person sitting on the pew
A life lived, enjoyed, forgotten
This is why we all end up rotten.
[This is my poem, don't steal it.]
Battle of the Planets casts five young people as G-Force, consisting of Mark, Jason, Princess, Keyop, and Tiny. The question has been raised whether or not the characters were cyborgs due to their super-human agility and demonstrations of power such as the whirlwind pyramid. G-Force protects Earth from planet Spectra and other attacks from 'beyond space'. Their main ship is the Phoenix, which can deploy four smaller vehicles, each operated by one team member. A regularly featured plot device was the transformation of the Phoenix into a flaming bird-shaped craft able to handle virtually any exceptional situation by functioning as something like a giant blowtorch (called the "Fiery Phoenix"). The Phoenix’s primary weapon was a large supply of rockets. It also occasionally flaunted a powerful solar-powered energy blaster, although the team had the misfortune of choosing very cloudy days to use it.
