Fireball and Space City.
Moderator: Spectrum Strike Force
I was under the impression that Space City was built on a 'Pacific Atoll' somewhere - but reading John Peel's 'Authorised Programme Guide' - it says:
World Space Patrol is based at Space City, a town in the American Wilderness
Of course, confusion isn't unusual in the Anderverse, but I wonder if anyone knows if there is a definitive location? (At least to a continental degree... I'm not looking for grid references... )
After all, Captain Black spent some years there, so it'd be nice to know where he was and if the American wilderness location would explain his 'American' accent in the very first CS episode?

Judging from the surroundings and the backround, I'll make a guestimate and say somewhere in the desert southwest....Nevada and/or Arizona.
(Supercar was set in Nevada.....however, the backdrop of Black Rock's HQ was only a painting and not an actual set!)

This has also led me to realise just how much I DON'T know about Fireball...
There seems to be even less information around about these characters than about NCS, for example.
I know there are difficulties in making a space-travelling Fireball sit inside an Anderverse that also has mankind just starting to explore Mars, although of course, there are Martian Cities, in the Zero X stories ,that don't feature in the CS TV show - although I remember one CS comic story has Scarlet going to Khara - the Martian capital . So, I'm sure there must be some way of doing it.
Besides, Conrad Turner was the captain of Fireball XL3 - so he must've been doing something in space.
