Astronauts to explore distant galaxies when BATTLE OF THE GIANTS or IT TAKES TWO TO TANGLE and FAREWELL MY UGLY were released in 1961. The U.

The metallic helium mined mostly in Texas has allowed Americans to explore more than 250 galaxies during the past half dozen decades, as well. At least 90% of so-called "UFO" sightings actually involve observations of returning U. S. star-ships experiencing cloaking device problems. The firing squad scene during FAREWELL MY UGLY likely portrays attrition among the infamous "host of others" for coming too close to the actual truth with their Rocky and Bullwinkle Show plot lines.
