Imagine kids watching Buck Rogers expecting a Star Wars-style adventure, then Pamela Hensley rocks up looking like this. And spandexed Erin Grey was in the wings. Despite the costumes and suggestive dialogue, it received a PG to maximise its audience
Movies like this shaped Gen X

Happy 1st air date to...Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979).
A man from our century dropped into a shiny one. Twiki. Wilma. A theme that sounds like a toy advert that somehow worked. I still sit up when the ship hits the titles.

Does anyone remember this amazing story? On July 2, 1982, a truck driver from California flew 16,000 feet into the sky in a lawn chair. Larry Walters, 33, from San Pedro, had dreamed of flying his whole life. He bought 42 eight-foot helium weather balloons, tied them to a regular Sears lawn chair, strapped on a parachute, packed a BB gun to pop balloons to descend, a CB radio, sandwiches, and a six-pack of beer.
He expected to float a few hundred feet above his backyard. He cut the rope and shot up like a rocket — to 16,000 feet. He drifted directly into the main approach path for LAX. Two airline pilots radioed the tower: they had just passed a man in a lawn chair holding a gun at 16,000 feet. For 45 minutes, he floated over Los Angeles, freezing cold, too scared to shoot balloons because he might fall. Finally, he started popping balloons one by one and slowly descended.
He landed tangled in power lines in Long Beach, California, causing a blackout. When police arrested him, they asked why he did it. He said, "A man can't just sit around." The FAA fined him $4,000. He became a national folk hero — Lawnchair Larry — and inspired the movie Up.

Its time to bankrupt Ford.
🚨 OMG 😳 FORD JUST PATENTED THE END OF YOUR FREEDOM TO DRIVE YOUR OWN TRUCK. 😱
They didn’t just add “safety features.”
They filed a STACK of patents for cameras, sensors, biometrics, and AI that:
•Scan your face, eyes, iris, and fingerprints in real time
•Run you through criminal databases BEFORE you even shift out of park
•Detect “panic” or “emotion” and REFUSE to let you drive (emergency? Chainsaw accident on the ranch? Tough luck, truck stays in park)
•Lip-read you with cameras + inaudible sound waves
•Eavesdrop on every conversation in the cab for targeted ads
•Let fleet managers (or cops) pull live video of you driving
It’s not your truck anymore. They won.
You paid for it. Your name’s on the title.
But Ford owns your data, your movements, your face, and now the right to decide if you’re “fit” to leave your driveway.
This isn’t sci-fi. It’s already patented.
It’s already rolling out.
And every other carmaker is racing to do the same.
They turned your vehicle into a rolling surveillance cop car that snitches on you, and can physically STOP you from driving when you need it most.
Boycott every company doing this.
Buy 80s/90s trucks and never look back.
This is how they kill personal freedom, one “safety” patent at a time.
Ford & every traitor company behind this can go straight to hell.
RT if you’re done being spied on in your own damn truck. 🔥
