      Early 80's (82 I think). I was at college and it was good Saturday morning telly. Brian May recorded a cracking solo album based on the title track.
      I am not qualified to give the above advice!

      The original point and click interface by
      Smith and Wesson.

          It was brilliant of its day. It was like a Japanese answer to Anderson which crossed over into Manga characters.
          I would recomend at least looking at a few episodes on youtube if you like that sort of thing.
          Also check out the title track by May and friends (just look at the line up of who is on it).

            Health and Safety would never allow it nowadays!

            We may see China or India attempt a moon landing. Hate to say this guys and gals, but you aren't going to see anyone go to Mars in your lifetime. It's not technology holding us back (or even finance) but the human body. It just can't cope with that amount of time in Space - although they keep experimenting with long stays in the space station.

            We need someone to invent a warp drive!

              I don't think we will get anyone on Mars in our lifetime's either. We should concentrate on getting the Moon colonised, and leave Mars for probes and robots. In the meantime, we could declare war on the Moon which would advance space technology no end.

                I've got a shedload of di-lithium available at very reasonable rates.

                There's never a warp engineer around when you need one...
                Unfortunately we already know the maximum energy density possible (per weight), and that's MC^2. Fancy sounding compounds or crystals won't ever get around that.

                    Mars should be left alone for some time to come. There is plenty to be done by using robots, etc. Keep Earth life off the place and continue to study. It'll still be there later.
                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                      But I might not be.
