...... calling planet zero ......
...... calling planet zero ......
..... come in planet zero ....

When the very existance of the human race is at peril,
When planets cry out for heroes, you stalwart few step forward to blast into oblivion!

THRILL at the daring-do of adventure!
AWE in the face of the great galactic spanse!
SHRILL with terror from evil abundant!

For one world is not enough for ROCKETMEN and RULERS!
Yet one world will change everything.
The zero quotient ... a planet called Uuuurthhh...
.........................................
STAND STAIGHT
ROCKET JOCKEIES
IT'S ZERO HOUR!
