The Astro-Naut "Are you talking about Flash Gordan stuff, Mr. Virgil? Rocket ships and space pilots, rocket jockeys?" The word you are looking for, friends, is "Astronaut." History Wearing pilot goggles, leather jacket, and a long red scarf, The Astro-Naut made no pretense for a secret identity. He was testing rocket ship engines in flights over the city.

That become his calling card. Equipment Astro-naut's Orbital Airstrip harbors spacecrafts, special weapons, advanced technical gear, amazing manufacturing tools, and who knows what other equipment for traveling to outer space, distant planets, and perhaps even time itself.
