I just realized that Captain Forward and Lieutenant Back would be between 55 and 60 years old now in 2023

Because I think they were between 24 and 27 years old and both Air Force pilots trained to fly Eisenhower's Flying Saucers which were always used mostly only to prevent Nuclear incidents like cities being nuked or nations being nuked or the Earth being nuked into an Asteroid Belt like what happened to the planet Maldek 65 million years ago. When Maldek was nuked by our ancestors out of existence then a piece of the planet also killed all the larger dinosaurs on earth and made Mars' surface uninhabitable too. And Humanoids from Maldek and Mars either had to migrate to earth after the dinosaurs all died or go to another solar system or maybe live underground on Mars or elsewhere in the Solar System.
