[edit]
  1. ^ An earlier version of the game by Brian Moriarty featured an additional character named Toshi Olema, a paying passenger on the mission.[9]
  2. ^ Stated to be a "two-star general" (p. 13) and a "Brigadier General" (a one-star rank) (p. 204).
  3. ^ References to lunar bases and an expedition to Titania suggest the story is set in the 21st century rather than the 20th.
  4. ^ The acronym "O.T.C." appears on the space station and rocket models.
  5. ^ Not stated to be a crewed booster.
  6. ^ Promoted to Lt Col. at the novel's conclusion.
  7. ^ Exact year is not specified, but references to extensive orbital infrastructure suggest a time in the late 20th/early 21st C relative to the date of publication.
  8. ^ The story is set fifty years after The Claws of Axos.
  9. ^ Incorrectly named "Kyoko Takamura" in Volume 1 crew portrait caption (p. 155).
  10. ^ This origin story for Metallo differs from other versions, in which Corben is not an astronaut. See the Metallo article.
  11. ^ Not explicitly stated to be an astronaut.
