I'm a child of the '80s and damn proud of it. I used to rush home from school for my daily "Transformers"/"G.I. Joe" fix. "Sesame Street" and "Mr. Rogers" were totally my nursery school bag.

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing. Conspiracy theorists who have been crying "hoax!" for the past four decades may not be terribly excited, but everyone else should be able to appreciate the significance of this momentous event.

Back in the 1980s, kids had a few cartoon heroes who they knew could taken on any enemy, no matter how powerful. There was "He-Man." There were the "Transformers." There was the "G.I. Joe" team. And there was "Voltron," “defender of the universe.”
Inspired by the Japanese anime series Beast King GoLion, “Voltron: Defender of the Universe” takes place sometime in the future. Humanity is spread out among the stars, forming the Galaxy Alliance. The story focused on a group of space explorers: Lance, Pidge, Hunk, Sven and their leader Keith.
