The world's longest-serving sci-fi hero 

He's a runner-up, serving about 40 years saving the world - but with a sonic screwdriver, no armory needed!

I thought it would be Cliff Allister McLane.

@Xaver Lustig But he only had 6 episodes. Yes, he is older, but that also means that he's been dead for a longer time. This is about those who're still kickin'.

@@Seegalgalguntijak I know I know. I was just thinking "science fiction", "German", "must be old", and Raumpatrouille was the first thing that came to my mind.

@Xaver Lustig Well, it is well worth watching, even still today one of the greatest sci-fi shows there are. Especially considering the time it was made, and the means they had back then.

Ich hab mit der 4. Auflage von Nummer 1 an angefangen damit, hab die bis Nummer 799 gelesen, bekam dann von einem Freund die Hefte 800 bis 1400 der 1. Auflage geschenkt, hab die aber nie alle gelesen, weils mir irgendwann dann doch etwas zu abgedreht und irgendwie esoterisch wurde. Ich hab dann ein paar Jahre pausiert und wollte später wieder einsteigen, aber zu der Zeit war die Story aus meiner Sicht sogar noch abgedrehter, für mich unmöglich mich da noch rein zu finden.

Ich habe von Anfang an (Erstausgabe) gelesen - bis kurz vor Band 600 und habe kürzlich zu meinem 73. Geburtstag eine komplette Sammlung auf Festplatte von meiner jüngsten Schwester geschenkt bekommen. Die hat als ich bei meinen Eltern auszog meine Sammlung von Heften komplett übernommen und wurde ebenfalls zum PR Fan. Momentan höre ich - ja nach zeitlicher Auslastung - wieder alle Stories ab No. 1 als Hörspiel (*podcast*).

i started reading it when they began the 4th reprint, but became the best customer of many "used book shops" where i finally succeeded to get my hands on issues 1-1000 in first print :-) guess what i just was reading when i was asked to select a username when i logged in to the first BBS's (with a 300 baud accustic coupler at that time) ... your choice seems to have been influenced a bit too :-)

And Jules Verne predated Hubbard by around 70 years and was much more sucessfull as Hubbard thus not in need to found a sect.

I watched a lot of SchleFaZ back in the day, but I didn't know that they covered that movie. Otherwise I would've watched it.

I have no idea where the US publication stopped so I hope this will make sense and I hope I can remember the gist of it well... It turns out that the Posbis were created as a weapon to stop anyone in the Milkyway from traveling to the Andromeda galaxy. The Laurins, the invisible aliens, were recruited to do the same and to keep the Posbis in check. At some point Perry and Atlan are invited to the homeworld of the Posbis where they learn that the biological component comes from a gigantic living plasma thats kybernetically connected to a computer component. The plasma is controlled by the computer to do the bidding of the Laurins and their masters from Andromeda. It asks Perry to free it which the Terrans achieve by fighting off the Laurins and hacking the Computer part, gifting the Posbis free will. After that the Posbis become mankinds' best ally(and frankly turning from Borg into Data ;) ). And let me tell you, the following Andromeda cycle blows everything out of the water that came before it and was rightfully deemed to be the best cycle of the series for a long time.

Yes, AFAIK, Perry Rhodan is still published in Brasil as an ebook. Try Googling "Perry Rhodan Brasil."

Start at the beginning. Simple.

How long does it take to read one? Would it actually be feasonable to read thousands of magazines while new ones are still released before you get too old to read?

@@HappyBeezerStudios it's been and is still being reprinted into a series of novels, which number currently (I might be wrong there) in their 140's. Only slightly less daunting ;)

I had never heard of this series before, so I can't help you out personally. But I'm sure you could simply ask questions in English in the German forums, I'm sure the fans would be happy to answer questions of foreigners who take interest in their favourite series!

I'm way ahead of you on that one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LzKyl223bMg.html

@@rewboss I guess not, I think I drew my first pictures of the space cruiser Orion in art classes of the 5th grade. Long before 2015. And you did not answer the question. - Where is the place of the underwater base (where was recorded) localized? A little hint, 32UPUxxxyyy fits, but 32UPU901266 is wrong. Second tip, there were also temporarily 16 sarcophagi.

The short answer is 'too risky for the german market, and too expensive if done right'. The more comprehensive answer can be found behind this link: wortvogel.de/2018/11/abandoned-die-perry-rhodan-tv-serie/ I hope you like podcasts.

Yes. British soap-opera "Coronation Street" has been on TV since December 1960.

Well yes but actually no

It's different to other weekly published stories because it is one big ever advancing story. I have read it for a long time and it has a higher quality than most people would think.

Pyriold hoch lebe das Vorurteil ...😉

3:49 ?

@@varana thnx for the heads up...don´t know how I missed that bit...but I watched it a 03:00 in the morning.

ThomasRenneis hahaha we've all been there.

Deathstar: Nah Old Man: Yeah

I do read it and I can tell you, it's not rubbish at all.
