For some reason I always thought Billy Blastoff should have had Marine Boy's Japanese anime face when I adored them both! Well, it seems that Japan has now launched its own modern Billy. Kiribo is a genuine robot but looks like a toy. He's even on his way to the International Space Station to keep the astronauts company. Alan Tracy could have done wth one in Thunderbird 5 but Kiribo only speaks Japanese!
Companion robots in space craft though? Gerry Anderson's visions are all coming true! What do you think readers?
