Talk:Lists of fictional astronauts

Deletions

I removed Stephen Taylor from Doctor Who, and Lister, Rimmer and Kochanski of Red Dwarf, because although the characters are space travellers, none of them really fits the definition of "astronaut" -- they all exist in some distant future in which interstellar space travel is, apparently, common, and their inclusion could open up the list to all of the Star Trek and Star Wars characters and the like.—Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomCritic (talk • contribs) 19:35, 7 July 2006

There are also some items I saw years ago and haven't been able to identify again, not remembering the titles:

• A science fiction thriller novel (published in the 1960s?) in which a cosmonaut exploring the Moon in a mini-tank rolls over and has to be rescued by an American astronaut.

That's Operation Columbus (AKA First on the Moon) by Hugh Walters - see Pornokitsch: 5 Trips to the MoonTanzeelat (talk) 09:23, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for identifying the novel, Tanzeelat -- it's been nagging at me for a long time. Since it's included in the existing overall entry for the Chris Godfrey of U.N.E.X.A. series, it doesn't need a separate entry. I have deleted the Apollo Quartet from the list on this page now that you've added it to the main list, and added some of the other books in the article to which you linked. Once again, thanks. :-) Gildir (talk) 14:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

• A supernatural novella in which a fictional astronaut dreams of the Apollo 1 fire before it happens and unsuccessfully tries to prevent it.
• A story serialized in Discover or Omni magazine (I forget which, but more likely Omni) in which a fictional Apollo crew crashes into a solid barrier in lunar orbit.
• Episode of The Monroes in which a family member takes part in a dangerous shuttle mission.

I'll continue plugging away at reading/viewing/searching for these and adding the astronaut characters to the list, but others might also like to have a go. Gildir (talk) 14:19, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

I have added and deleted entries from the above list based on what I've added to the main list so far. Does anyone have any ideas about the unidentified items? Gildir (talk) 14:27, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

I may have another one you might want to look into, a French comic book series "The Adventures of Buck Danny", looks like some of the issues featured the Mercury program see: The Adventures of Buck Danny The 60s and 70s. Graham1973 (talk) 11:17, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion, Graham; I'll look into it. I've also added only the film version of The Medusa Touch to the main list, since I haven't had a chance to look at the book (which might name the other two astronauts). Also, the D-prime mission CMP is omitted from the entry for Voyage in the Mars section because it's Bob Crippen, a real, historical astronaut and thus ineligible for this list (as with some of the crew members in Shane Johnson's Ice). Gildir (talk) 14:10, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

I was just looking though the second volume of the Film Encyclopedia and found an entry for a 1967 film called Dos Cosmonautas a la Fureza which appears to be a Spanish remake of 002 Operazione Luna. You might have better luck hunting this one down than I.Graham1973 (talk) 16:17, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

I have added multiple entries for stories listed in the two-part Ken Murphy Space Review article I have added to the external links section of the main list. Gildir (talk) 05:39, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Just added - Control Somnambule

I've just added a short story I learned about in an online article. The article by Chris Peebles appeared in issue 91 of Magonia Magazine (Feb 2006) and discussed two science fiction stories describing phenomenon similar to the standard 'Alien Abduction' narrative and the first story he discussed was one ("Control Somnambule" by William Sambrot, published in the May 1962 issue of Playboy Magazine.) which had aliens abducting an astronaut on a solo Apollo mission experimenting on him and then returning him and his spacecraft to orbit as if nothing had happened. I've just added it to the list based on the details in the online article. However it is possible that the original magazine publication may have additional details not included in the article I read. The author is incredibly obscure, but a check of the ISFDb shows that the story has been reprinted in a short story collection called "Island of Fear" (in the 1960s) and in two Playboy short story collections "From the "S" File" and "Transit of Earth" (Both in the 1970s) which might be easier to locate than the original magazine publication.

Graham1973 (talk) 11:17, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

I've managed to find a copy "From the "S" File" which dated from 1971 and added the publication details. There was an editorial introduction but it was simply from "The Editors of Playboy Magazine' and did not credit an individual. The story didn't add any additional information to what was summarised in the article linked. Graham1973 (talk) 05:53, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

For All Mankind - Alt-History Web Series.

Apple is launching a new streaming webseries devoted to the idea that the Soviets got to the Moon first and so the space race continues further on. Looks to be a lot of fictional astronauts. Here is their teaser trailer.

Thank you -- help needed

As shown in the summary for my previous edit, for the first time in a few years, someone other than me has added one of the items from my humongous to-do list to the main list (the Twilight Zone episode "Six Degrees of Freedom"). I am extremely pleased about this. As I've mentioned a few times before, I never meant to hog all those items for myself; in fact, it's unlikely I could ever get to them all in my lifetime. With prominent new and upcoming productions such as Ad Astra and For All Mankind featuring fictional astronauts, these lists need the assistance of lots of editors to reach a more nearly complete form. Gildir (talk) 13:39, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Further to the above comment, an IP address editor has now added For All Mankind to the main list. Gildir (talk) 04:44, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
