Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\| '''The distance between a hero and his destiny is only a moonlight mile.'''}} Based off a manga by Yasuo Otagaki, about two mountain climbers Gorou Saruwatari and Lostman, who decide to become astronauts. Each takes a different route: Gorou becomes a construction worker to gain multiple operating licenses, whilst Lostman becomes a pilot for the US navy. Line 8: The series takes a very realistic viewpoint on space travel, and yet manages to make the vehicles, robots and building designs impressive and distinctive. {{tropelist}} ~~----~~ ~~=== This show provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Conspicuous CG]]: The vehicles and larger mechanical objects. Line 18 ⟶ 17: * [[Robot Buddy]]: A camera robot shows up in season 2. * [[Mohs Scale of Sci Fi Hardness]]: The least realistic thing in this show is {{spoiler\|the US somehow managing to build a huge orbital installation without anyone noticing}}. ** Of course, [[Sci -Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale\|"huge" means an entirely different thing in space]]. {{spoiler\|Space Station "Enterprise" is the size of a city, but also located within the [~~http://en.~~[wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Van_Allen_radiation_belt~~:Van Allen radiation belt\|Van Allen radiation belt]] - non-visual sensors just get static, far enough away that a telescope only gets a black dot. Shielding must be a cast-iron bitch, however.}} * [[No Export for You]]: The manga has reached 21 volumes in Japan, yet the anime was canceled with one of ''the'' most exasperating [[Cliff Hanger\|Cliff Hangers]] in ''history''; We finally discover [[What Happened to ~~The~~the Mouse?\|what happened to the woman]] who ran several hundred miles across the moon, only to run into soldiers and get a [[Laser Sight]] on her forehead, {{spoiler\|She's taken prisoner by the American Space Force, and will remain there for the foreseeable future, as they are not willing to reveal the extent of their military buildup to the world. Last image of the series: Year 2017: History begins on the moon.}} Only twelve of the twenty-six episodes have as-of-2011 been released abroad(Goro hasn't even ''left'' for the Moon!), so most viewers don't even get that. And ''no'' volumes of the manga have been translated at all. [[Needs More Love]]! * [[The Pornomancer]]: Gorou and Lostman, who's first scene is them having sex with a pair of women as "good luck ritual" before climbing Mt. Everest by themselves. This trend continues throughout the series.
