Larry Harmon(1925-2008)

He also created an aborted television pilot in the 1950s called "General Universe", in which he was going to use the life size, stationary model of the robot "Gort", from the movie Le Jour où la Terre s'arrêta... (1951). He then went on to create the studio bound, 50s television show called "Commander Comet", which flourished for 2 and a half seasons. He used the "Gort" prop for this show as well. He made some additions to the "Gort" suit & called it "Rotar", who was the ever faithful companion to "Commander Comet".

I felt if I could plant my size 83AAA shoes on this planet, people would never be able to forget those footprints.
