SHADO Update

John Barnes has an interesting article in NRO about the '70's cult TV series UFO. He suggests that the attitude of the main character would serve us well in Homeland Security.

It was an interesting show. Set in the early eighties, we had a moonbase and cool submarine-launched fighter planes. However you can tell the '60's predictions about what the '90's would be like. Apparently we would still be using dot matrix printers. Interestingly, the moonbase was manned almost entirely by beautiful women wearing purple wigs and mylar miniskirts. That's the kind of future I can dig! Click here for the fan site. They also have a very groovy soundtrack.
