They’re launching a TRAIN into space? ;)
My coffee just went in my nose. Thank you very much.
"999" (pronounced "three nine," I assume meaning three nines) was a famous manga, or Japanese comic book series, from the 1970s about a train that travels in outer space. When an anime film adaptation was made of it, the title song was written and recorded by the top rock group in Japan at the time, Godiego (goh-DYE-goh).
I had the privilege of going to high school in Yokohama with the bass player, Steve Fox, whose 62nd birthday happens to be today.
I think safe to say Chia Chub is Sheldon Cooper of world leader from Big Bang theory that guy LOL!
