This program featured a Star Fleet type organization of the future and its light, fluffy adventures – adventures that wouldn’t have been out of place on 1950’s television so the show had a nice “retro” feel. I’m sure that’s why it wasn’t picked up as a series since televised sci-fi was going for a much more self-consciously serious tone by then. The two Solarnauts who served as the show’s protagonists bore the strange names Power (John Garfield) and Tempo (Derek Fowlds). They piloted a small craft on their missions throughout the solar system, in which (in what WOULD have been the show’s canon) each planet was either colonized or had native inhabitants.
