SPACE CADET



Benny Bufano was a space cadet before that was an official classification.

There’s a certain amount of space travel that can be done without the necessity of locomotion, one simply has to relax and close one’s eyes. We sense that Benny completed all those itineraries at an early age.

Benny was on the radar—the same radar that tracks Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve.

Time Magazine was tracking him in 1940. This Time article is illustrative, and amusing.
