SPACE SHOT. The code name used by space shuttle pilot George A. Roberts. After gaining a reputation as one of the best fighter pilots around, Space Shot became a skilled space shuttle pilot. He eventually became a member of G.I. Joe's short-lived Star Brigade team. Space Shot co-piloted the space shuttle Defiant on a mission into space when the Joes joined forces with former members of the October Guard led by Colonel "Red Star" Krimov. The teams were sent to an asteroid that had been put on collision course toward Earth by a rogue Soviet scientist years earlier. Space Shot and the others had to contend with attacking Soviet worker drone robots before stopping the asteroid.(GI 145-149; AE 25 (cover); Figure: 1)
