I had to put this on here. This is the first time I've actually been able to translate Japanese. (They took the English version off of youtube; this one might even be cooler...) If you listen closely, you'll notice that, unlike the English version, the last word spoken is "Cyborg," which of course is the name of the book the show is based on:
Sure, the show was pretty cheesy, but Steve Austin... he was an astronaut, and back in 1975 an astronaut was a heroic figure, someone you could look up to, someone you could aspire to be... Now, the space program is a shadow of it's former self, you think anybody wants to be an astronaut today? I mean look at what they give us for astronauts these days:
Steve Austin is better than an astronaut: he's a bionic astronaut, a Six Million Dollar Man!
In Spanish he's known as "El Hombre Nuclear!" Sci-fi helps you learn other languages! Time/Life just issued the complete collection on DVD. Is that awesome, or what?
