] As an alumnus of Harvard University where he studied electronics and communication, his quiet intellectual nature and interest in astronomy made him the natural choice for the solitary life as the occupant of space station Thunderbird 5, monitoring for distress calls from around the world. He has only ever been seen physically involved in a rescue during the episode "Danger At Ocean Deep," although dialogue at the end of that episode suggests that he has already been on various (if unseen on screen) missions.
