Space: 1999 - The Story Part 1 (of 2)

[lozman67]

Wow.. those were the days.. the future was all jumpsuits and twangy twangy music.. and.. F**K me.. Chrisopher Lee.. does he officially have to be in EVERYTHING EVER MADE??

[gonzosc1]

oh damn, I remember this when I was young. this is cool. thanks for upload.

[lablite42]

is this series available on dvd?

[Axon36]

@lablite42

It's. Check Ebay.

[Andrei613]

@lablite42 $38.49 for the 30th Anniversary Megaset on Amazon.com.

[reticulan5]

@lablite42 Also on Blu-Ray

[ubelieveinme2oo]

When are they going to have another convention?

[FeignofCordor]

I don`t mean to be picky but whats the point in showing clips of a episode?

[hrbear]

@FeignofCordor Say that again! Where are the complete episodes...? :-(

[LordReay]

I dig the video.

On a side note, just to put in my two cents regarding the "intellectuals" who like to flex their brain power on YouTube postings, why don't you people do something MEANINGFUL with all that intellect? You know, like curing cancer or ending foreign dependence on oil?

I'm sure you would do it if you really were as intellig....oh....wait....neve­r mind.

[ubelieveinme2oo]

@LordReay ok

[intermender]

It was a really exciting pilot episode. I remember everyone at school excited and saying it was brilliant. We all thought the future could be or even would be like this.

[EmpireLS56KW]

I’ve been watching “This Episode” on bluray for the past few months. I re-watched Breakaway again for the breakaway scene. I like the deep G-force rumble on the LFE.1 track.

September 13. 1999

Meta signal increasing yes maybe there.

[pantpooer]

5 people have Radiation Sickness.

[zestydude87]

Is that Terance Stamp in that scene? Looks like him. Im going to have to pick up this series on Amazon, used to watch this show with my sister years ago.

[NoFNclue]

a LOT of alphans Died in this series, at least 2 or 3 per episode!!!

[megamantwelve]

Too bad we don't have this kind of technology in the year 2011...

[MrRobson735]

okiej

[burnstagger]

They discovered an oscilloscope?

[burnstagger]

Serious repurcusions? The earth would be trashed without the moon's gravity controlling the tides.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@burnstagger the moon does not "control the tides" but causes the tides through gravitational pull and as the earth rotates on its axis along with the orbit of the moon around the earth the tides ebb and recede around the shorelines of the world. however, more importantly the moon helps stabilize the rotation of the earth on its axis and stabilizes the earth's orbit around the sun as well.

[dynagravitomagnetic]

@SocratesTheGadfly It has been said that the earth picked up the moon in passing. some will go so far as to say there was a time when earth had no moon. there are more questions than answers. Ask Billy Meyer.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@dynagravitomagnetic yes, i have studied the geology and the astro-physics and there is still a great deal of debate as to the origins of the moon. orbital accretion theory, captured rogue material theory and collision theory.  the apollo moon landings really did not provide conclusive evidence either way unfortunately. however, it is generally a good thing that we have a moon to help stabilize the earth's rotation and axial tilt but we are losing it by about 10 cm per year

[dynagravitomagnetic]

@SocratesTheGadfly so we might lose our only natural satellite before our sun begins to burn itself out. most of us are certain that we will have allowed the social elite to poisoned the biosphere and drive all animals to extinction by greedy profiteering methods that in effect cancels renewable energy developments long before then!

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@dynagravitomagnetic Do not worry the earth, sun and the moon will be around for a great deal longer than modern or post-modern mankind. The human race has been around for about 40 to 50 thousand years whereas the earth, sun and moon have been around for 4.5 billion years. The biosphere has already been poisoned by the earth with naturally occurring heavy metals, toxins and chemicals just as the oceans have been polluted since they first started to form and collect salts and carbon dioxide

[dynagravitomagnetic]

@SocratesTheGadfly theres some dispairity between condoned historical record and evidence of ancient civilizations. The shastra vimanika is a flight manual for astronauts that described what we today refer to as "marconi vortex dynamo" or superfluid gravity centrifuge. Theres evidence of human footprints concurrent with dinosaur tracks, and even an ancient village near mesopotamia where highly radioactive human remains are part of what appears to have been the site of a nuclear war 6000 yrs ago.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@dynagravitomagnetic There is some debate over historical records primarily because it was extremely rare for an ancient civilization to become cognizant enough to record their history accurately and the ancient rulers invariably did NOT want any historical records of ancestors that would make the then present rulers look bad. Hence many historical records were lost, burnt, destroyed or not written down. Invariably there is only records for about 6,000 years.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@dynagravitomagnetic In regards to the "radioactive" remains it is exceptionally difficult to ascertain the origin of the radioactivity. Many of the remains at hiroshima and nagasaki did not have significant amounts of radiation because the extreme heat destroyed the over lying flesh. As for human footprints with dinosaur tracks many of those have been determined to be frauds. As for a flight manual for ancient astronauts that is purely speculation and there is no backing evidence.

[dynagravitomagnetic]

@SocratesTheGadfly yer the devil.

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@dynagravitomagnetic actually I am HUMAN with a well educated mind and intuitive intelligence. Furthermore, I am exceptionally skeptical of hyperbolic claims that have NO supporting evidence.

[dynagravitomagnetic]

@SocratesTheGadfly Most claims that are verified and authorized are so due to a negotiated agreement between opulent parties. The particular spin that is applied to any given imperative always favors money. James Kuhn points this out in the "paradigm shift". If you want to address corporate crime, as outlined by Edwin Sutherland, or comment on capital crime, as noted by Marx, then you will be alter casted as the criminal by the persons in authority. information is easily altered and re-directed.

[vomitronic]

I love this series. At least no Apple gadgets around

[1meter65]

Alpha, you are a great part of my childhood ... my life! thanks a lot for making us dreaming! :-)

[49bobbyk]

I remember the premiere. The story had merit. It was interesting. But like so many science fiction series in the United States, especially by Irwin Allen, things went downhill. Monster of the week and generally silly stories doom most all science fiction series to being watched only by the true loyalists.

[crocetti46]

this excites the hell out of me,1976,friday nights at 7pm,channel 6,philadelphia.

[TheLiberalmark]

Star Trek is Jackanory compared to Space 1999.

[nimasha83]

i used to watch this when i was 10 yrs old looooong time a gooooo omgggg

[rgvidesonne]

Wow very good work. I like

From Roger

TvTimeRg 

[mikeismad61]

Wonderful job. I just loved this series and remember it well. Second series was switched to late afternoon, mid week when it was clear that ATV wished to dump it and I had to race around and finish my paper round other wise i would miss it. I prefer series one to two which lacked dear Barry Morse (much missed). Thanks again.

[elyodasalsero]

wow...........

[transfoby]

It has a look of 2001 Space Oddyssey. I have a feeling they must have consulted Stanley Kubrick :))

[DomPayne5]

I always loved this show as a child; I love the interiors of moonbase alpha, and even now would love to be able to recreate them in some way. Maybe now we have LED lighting it would be more affordable to have all those lit-up panels. :-)

[ambis99]

I used to watch this as a kid in the Dominican Republic...it's funny how now we are way past the year 1999 and our technology is nowhere near as this TV show. We are really falling behind or slowing down in technology. we only have better pcs, ipods, toasters etc. lol. Back in the day we had some really good scientists and scholars...now all we have is a bunch of fat, lazy, drug using thugs and school drop outs for a population! The future doesn't look so bright for us humans!

[EthioGQ]

@ambis99 Growing up in Ethiopia I used to watch this show as well and I agree about what you said....indeed we are getting way behind.

[FozzyUSN]

I always thought the Eagles were one of the best designed craft. Several try to compare them to other space craft that was designed as a space fighter and say they could not hold up on their own. Eagles were not designed as fighters and should not be compared to others.

[timthehippie]

I didn't even realize until running it thru wiki that this was a british sci fi show.

Timothy

:o)

[Zen0Ph0bus]

did you enhance the sound? the theme sounds fantastic... alot more depth than the other ones I've heard here

[Zen0Ph0bus]

nevermind, i was typing this as the new mixed strings came in... wonderful job on the theme "remix" so to speak

[DustersInc]

@Zen0Ph0bus Thanks for the comments, but I didn't do anything to the sound other than upload it with great care.  This version of the theme is called "the extended alternate version" and it's available on the Year One soundtrack on CD in even better quality! ;-)

[tramdass1010]

You know back in the day it was all about the guys on the Moon, no one thought about what would be the situation of the guys on Earth. The video messages from the Earth showed business as usual and we bought it.

[p9i7]

Those uniforms were hot on the men.

[straker2]

Breakaway's one of the best episodes of the series. I also like Ring Around the Moon, Missing Link and Voyager's Return. Dragon's Domain is cool with the big monster and I'm quite sure War Games and Mission of the Darians must've been George Lucas's favourites at the time this show was new!

Ade

[lordmorn43]

cupuwrite i think you should listen mor carefuly its john koning not connr lol

[cpuwrite]

Any other watchers of the Terminator shows notice the name of the man who runs Moon Base Alpha?

That's right: John Connor.

[DustersInc]

Actually the Commander of Alpha is John Koenig (not Connor). It would have been a great tip of the hat, though.

[cpuwrite]

That's right! I remember it now!

Funny how it sounds like "Connor" in this video, though.

[mccoobs]

@DustersInc COMMANDER Koenig to the rest of us expendables... ;)

[smurfguy77]

I remember watching this show as a kid, I loved it. I was impressed by the quality of special effects. This show being post star trek and pre star wars the special effects are really good considering the decade it was made in. The concept of the show is a little comical, and I have never been able to understand why everyones vision of what we would be wearing in the future included spandex jumpsuits?

[ThoughtTraveler]

Yeah but those spandex jumpsuits were the bomb in 75 : )

People were not as FAT then either I think so they could wear them

[MsJollycholly]

@ThoughtTraveler - you are SO right. I remember watching this in 75' and I was SO active (of course was 19 years yrs old!). We simply did not eat the way we do today. Much smaller portions and rarely did we see anyone who was super morbidly obese. If you were 1-15 lbs overweight, it was a LOT!

[hrbear]

@MsJollycholly Don't worry. History is being repeated. So, food portions started to become smaller and smaller due to the debt crisis, see what's is being served during a flight for example (an orange juice, a sample of a stake, a sample of a vegetable, a carrot and a teaspunful of sauce IF it's not a charter flight and IF you are lucky). Else, I guess a cup of tea or coffee (and one has to be thankful). :-P

[TheScifiFanForever]

@smurfguy77 and with a zipper going up the side toward the neck area too LOL. Funny, I never noticed that when I watched it in the 70s haha. Huh - I thought when you get older, you become less, not more, observant. Oh well, go figure. I never missed an ep if I could helop it back then!!!

[TheScifiFanForever]

@TheScifiFanForever edit: "help" not "helop" - ROFL haha!

[camaritanew]

7:50 An anaolg clock in a spacial era!!!! too retro???

[bustermk2]

The only thing which stretches the imagination is that they thought people would still be wearing flares in 1999.

[BlaineVanderwell]

OK................If the moon seperated from Earths orbit then the Earth is screwed big time......................no opposing gravitational pull or lunar tides.................its a hell of a ending for Earth......still a great Sci-Fi from the 70's

[bronlokis]

wow, the fucking music.... getting on my nerves!!!

[SAPPJR]

can I freak you out? friends with Juliet Landau, Martin and Barbara's daughter. didnt realize it until months after chatting with her at the gym! i just knew her as Drusilla until I made the "Landau" connection. LOL!

[talthan]

I have a simular story I orderd a BLT and the guy who made it for me was named Kevin

[simpul]

Thanks for the upload. Mind you, there is something wrong with the framerate :)

[NSXFiles]

Great Job! Thanks for the posting.

[wantahon]

Bring it back!

[yogi44mm]

I love this show

But this is not the full show it's all chopped up.

lot missing.

do you have the full show to post.

[bmpack]

LOL!!!  very cool..

[jdel58]

So good!!!!!!!!1

[loft107]

"TRAVEL TUBE" ... lol

[davidscalling]

At 9:00 he should say "It's VISTA" then they all scream and yell "Abort Abort it's Windows VISTA, it will disrupt and crash all systems... we are all going to die" "VISTA NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!­"

[martinthegnome]

lol...i think the end of all climactic explosions in any sci fi should have pieces of debris floating by that say ...ROSOF.... and ...ICRO..... or ..MI**OSO*T

Never the whole name, but enough to get a gaga out of it.

[mainmedic]

Oh boy did I lose this show as a child in the 70's I even had the Eagle spaceship.

I received it as a gift at Christmas.

[mainmedic]

Wow Typo. I meant to say loved not lose

where did that come from?

[timthehippie]

@mainmedic This was my favorite show, seconded only by battlestar galactica. I never got the eagle spaceship tho, your childhood was happier than mine in that respect!

Timothy

:o)

[landgsmith]

I have always been a big fan of Space 1999, ever since watching them in syndication back in the 80s. where can I find full length episodes here on Youtube? I wish Sci Fi channel would show this awesome show!

[2206411411]

I've not seen them here, but I have seen torrents of all the episodes, plus two fan-made "conclusions" to the series.

[DFWTexan42]

Oh, for crying out loud, the whole series is available on DVD from Amazon and ebay for about $40. Just go and buy it. I added it to my Sci-Fi series collection years ago.

[dazza4729]

love this series, love the two theme tunes... bring it back i say!!

[AlpineEastern]

Yeah it's called mini strokes many of which happen in one's sleep. YOu turn in one evening and when your loved one awakens the next day they are not themselves and something obviously happened in the middle of the night.

Everyone needs to be aware of this as so many in the world shom suffer Chronic Fatigue are greatly at risk of this and also those who continually are bombarded with physical assaults and psychological warfare.

[siobelaup]

DusterInc, THANK YOU so very much for posting this.

I recycle everything I can (but not people), I want to save the earth. It's not my fault if the moon appears and disappears in the sky constantly.

I never saw this episode before this day. I am floating in my chair, am ectatic.

[beutelkompost]

it is a cool series, but even more, it is a STYLE ICON!

there was a Jewish designer, I forgot his name, Rudi Geldgier, I believe, who created all these marvellous style!

[beutelkompost]

P.S. Rudi Gernreich, I remember now. It means Rudi "I wanna be rich" in any case. I don't know if he actually GOT rich, but he certainly WAS rich: in his creative mind!

"To have or to be" to quote another Jewish genius: Erich Fromm. I think to be a good human being is always perfect!

And the makers of "Space:1999" certainly WERE good human beings, all of them. Sylvia and Gerry Anderson, Martin Landau, Barbara Bain, Barry Morse, Rudi Gernreich. I adore them!

[elaureanoa]

Gracias a este tipo de series, me hice escritor. Es bonito ver la fuente de mi imaginación, después de tantos años.

[Evair65]

very good... the film I remind my youth !!!

[thanqualhighseer]

wonder if anyone will be ever be brave enough to make a remixed theme song!

[cumbas]

all my youth !!

when I see how one imagined the years 2000 in the Seventies one was very optimistic and well far from the current reality ^^

[PhoenixxxStar]

The bad part of the second season was we lost Barry Morse who was such an excellent father figure for the series,...They should never have let him walk so easily,...considering he added a debonair noble quality to the show,...

[djscotty1111]

@PhoenixxxStar Well said ! Barry, will not be forgotten by many...Cheers Barry wherever you are !

[djscotty1111]

@PhoenixxxStar I saw the first series and even though I fancied Mya even though I was 7 I would have liked to have met Mr morse sat down a talked with him like my Grandfather.

RIP Barry ...To all that was !

[PhoenixxxStar]

I disagree with some of the statements: The first season was alot of drama whilst the 2nd season was more action orientated (think Star Trek the series)Also the 2nd season was so much better because of Catherine Von Schellenberg (Schell)as Mya the Psychon (shapeshifter before Deep Space Nine's ODO) It was close to the camp factor of the american production (with Shatner) but for some reason it didn't make it,....

[amadmaninlove]

Everybody in this video looks pissed off...

[meowza3k]

3:10 you know there's trouble when there's bongos

[AlpineEastern]

SMARTY...I caught that too. You hear it alot on HAwaii Five-0 a cheesy show they had in my parents day. (Hippy movement/Beach Boy/Ravi Shankar/Ringling/Bell Bottom times)

[crawleygat37]

so, how many eagles did they start out with..and..errrr..how many got blown up EVERY program..lol..and yet, they always had enough to carry on.

[Ilovenancy72]

better then star trek

[MsDeandrea]

yeah right...how many space 1999 movies there have been? Nuff said...lol

[LowIQgreenmagoos]

bla bla bla!

[mikekingphoto]

And bla star bla trek bla. That's so one track. Trek's great, and other stuff ain't either. It's a free World.

[melkur]

It was a really fantastic series. Prefer the first series though.

They could bring it back, updated and new characters. It could work.

[b6gm6n]

First series is great, an American producer did the second series i believe

[photon72]

Who knew the future would look like the 70's!

[TachieBillano]

Ahahaha :-)

[major600]

This episode: the crew drinks coffee together, stares blankly at a screen and frolics in the rain. News at 11:00.

[straker2]

This show was AWESOME! It was more than just a TV in my view, the designs, the music, the miniatures, it was so unforgettably good it was work of art! Seriously, people sometimes complain about aspects like science or whatever, but Space:1999 was a work of art that is still astoundingly good all these years later. This ten minute cut of the pilot shows that off brilliantly! 5/5 from me!

Ade.

[rudel451]

thanks for posting the video....season 1 was so much better than season 2......

[MasterJediDude]

I remember in a Season 2 episode, Commander Koenig mentions that they had also traveled through a worm hole. I believe this was to help cover the physics-issue with some fans.

[amadmaninlove]

If they had acted like real men, they would have tried to return to Earth...

[MauserK43]

I love Space 1999

[mavericstud9]

Scientifically inaccurate-the whole show.Who was scientific advisor-Bozo the Clown.?Somehow nuclear waste would blow up and push the moon out of orbit-then let it travel around space like the Enterprise.

[BlakesHappi7]

Thats why its called Science FICTION.

[arroy624]

if all movies have to be accurate, all titles we can get would be something similar to "Mr. Smith drives to work", etc.

[mainmission]

Nice Job! I think Breakaway is one of greatest pilot episodes of any series, and luckily from my favorite series of all time.

[DustersInc]

I agree. That first episode was really smart and dramatic. A fantastic kick start to a great series. Thanks for commenting.

[Iliofos]

I was 5 when first episode was shown in Greece. The best from all series. Ever. But the spaca 1999 artwork under the music theme requiem for a dream is quite nice to see as well.

[rickylvu42]

great thanks for posting

[Tim6of1]

UFO was a better series than this.

[Kirok]

I liked them both. If S:99's second season had been in the same vein as the first, I think it would have run for as many as five years and grown into a near-classic. As it was, the sub-puerile second season utterly killed it.

Oh, and two or three years of UFO would have been FANTASTIC.

[waverly24]

UFO and Space: 1999 were made by the same people, and they were equally good in their own right.

[gardenalien]

I use to love this Si Fi TV series when i was a kid in the mid 1970s. Shame they never made it into a film.

[mavericstud9]

I use to love this Si Fi TV series when i was a kid in the mid 1970s. Shame they never made it into a film.

shame you never got that brain operation so could move onto better tv.

[zenarcade64]

Well they got two predictions wrong: One a moonbase and two Yugoslavia would still exist in 1999. Anyway good job on the video!

[Kirok]

Just two? ;-) How about: A manned mission to Uranus in 1986, manned exploration of Venus, interstellar probes, a manned journey to a trans-Plutonian world called "Ultra" in 1996 (?) and plans for a similar voyage to another outer planet called "Meta" in 1999...

I have to say, though, I really liked this show.

[vogueboy1]

I am surprised that no one has made this into a feature film yet.

[Kirok]

I wrote a screenplay a few years ago, and got it in the hands of a producer who was interested in it. He was a great guy. I say "was" because he died of cancer just a few months ago.

[vogueboy1]

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, someone else will take it and make it work.

[Kirok]

Thanks. It would be great to see someone pick it up and run with it. Unfortunately, since I wrote the original treatment, elements of my story ended up in -- among other things -- "The Incredibles" and the final two episodes of "Star Trek:Enterprise." So now it would seem too derivative.

And of course, I really miss my friend. We never met face-to-face, but we talked on the phone a lot, and I know he always said nice things about me to other people -- that's uncommon in Hollywood.

[azzorroww]

@Kiro

do you still have a copy of your space 1999 screen play, you know you won to have this late producer see/read your work that is pretty rare most producers today would only consider a recognized script writer and maybe thats the problem with tv productions today beyond the budgets the really smart writing does not get where it needs to go i hope you keep writing and good luck.

[mavericstud9]

am surprised that no one has made this into a feature film yet. I'm surprised anyone care to see or hear about a movie project.Space 1999 is a title you can use past the year 1999.They'd have change the title and so much die hard fans would hate it.so why bother.

[DFWTexan42]

By todays history, Space 1999 is an alternate universe, so there is no reason why an film could not be made with that premise and title.

[bundybabe37]

now this is a classic tv show

god i miss it

[mavericstud9]

now this is a classic tv show

god i miss it.

Claassic ?Is everything old and bad now refered to as classic as well as the good?

[Nexus974]

Yes. As you get older the past, even the darker parts, can seem brighter.

[murielambro]

super travail duster c'est toujours un bonheur de voir martin landau je me demande vraiment pourquoi un acteur aussi talentueux et charismatique est si peu representé en france et a pu avoir une carrière si loin de sa valeur

[DustersInc]

Bonjourn murielambro. Je suis d'accord avec vous au sujet de Martin. Merci de l'écriture.
