    Thanks to those who responded, sdf.org and the tildeverse are great suggestions.

    Just checked sdf.org, and found “©1987-2065”.

    Coincidentally, the latter is the year in which the old Gerry/Sylvia-
    Anderson series “Thunderbirds” was set ...

    I didn't know about that date. But what a coincidence that just these
    days I was looking that series! (Wasn't expecting that anyone knows
    about that old series in the first place.)

    I do! I even have the complete series here on DVD ;-)

    Same here. (Otherwise I couldn't see them [in TV] these days. :-)

    I just LOVED them!

    The model scenery and effects I (still) think are really amazing!

    But, to be honest, the dialogs, the primitive "tech speak", and
    the illogical details of the stories is something that annoys me
    these days.

    Still interesting.

    I even built myself a cap like they wore.
    Recently there was a 3D animated series somewhere ...

    Fun fact: the “Supermarionation” term referred to the electromechanical system for triggering movements of the puppets’ mouths from the audio
    track. Previously the puppeteers had to make these movements manually.

    The reason why the heads were so big relative to the body in
    “Thunderbirds” was because the mechanism for this was in the head. In the later “Captain Scarlet”, they put most of the mechanism in the torso. This allowed the head-body proportions to be closer to human-normal.
