We’re part of the generation that missed the captivating moon landings of 1969, witnessed by all around the world through grainy black and white broadcasts. Our elders remember the moment they watched Neil Armstrong touch the lunar surface and declare “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The early wooden, glass and cathode-ray contraptions gave people a portal to be there, with Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins, as they left our world to set foot on another celestial body for the very first time. The TV set made it possible.

The historical importance of the television to witness these ground-breaking events, is why we’ve been inspired to replicate the squircle outline found on vintage televisions, for the case profile of the Astro. It’s a nod to history, looking on in awe at what we can achieve as a human species by working together, focusing our energies on the collective furtherment of humankind and feeling part of a global community, all tied together by the threads of broadcasting.
