Astro's Top Secret

Cogswell thinks George has "solved" the gravity problem with an amazing new invention that makes Astro fly, but several earlier episodes demonstrated already-existing technology such as anti-gravity belts and space cars that hover without propulsion. Even in this episode, the toy that Astro swallows uses some sort of anti-gravity power enough to lift a large dog. So it makes zero sense -- even in a cartoon -- that an experienced businessman would freak out about an anti-gravity device.
