These are a series of incompletelists of fictional astronauts appearing in various media, including books, film, television shows (live or animated), radio shows, records, and comic books.
To be included in these lists, a fictionalastronaut must be modeled upon actual astronauts of real-worldspace programs, as they have actually existed since the beginning of theSpace Age, or were envisioned in the years leading up to the Space Age. Criteria include:
A fictional astronaut must be human (not an alien, robot, or animal).
A fictional astronaut must be on a flight originating from the Earth; space travellers engaging in casual voyages between other planets (as inStar Wars orBattlestar Galactica) are not eligible.
A fictional astronaut must be presented as living in the period of the earlyexploration of space, i.e. from the beginning of theSpace Age to the present, and for a few decades into the future; currently, in the period of about 1960–2060.
A fictional astronaut is preferably part of a real space program, likeNASA or theSoviet/Russian space program, or fictional knockoffs of the same (e.g. ANSA, IASA).
A fictional astronaut preferably usesspace travel technology within the realm of the possible. Preference should be given to astronauts depicted using real technology (e.g.Apollo,Soyuz,Space Shuttle) or close fictional knockoffs of the same.
Several toy astronaut dolls and action figures were produced in response to the popularity of astronauts in the 1960s. Most of them had no associated storylines. They included:
Johnny and Jane Apollo, 1968 plastic toys with accessories including a "Moon Rover".
Barbie, the world's most popular doll, was released with a variant space suit costume in the 1960s.
Billy Blastoff, an apparently juvenile astronaut of the 1960s.
TheMajor Matt Mason line of toys from 1968, including Major Mason himself, Lt. Jeff Long, Sgt. Storm, and Doug Davis.[1]
Moon McDare, a generic astronaut figure from 1965, packaged with various accessories.
