Actually Star Trek didn't allow women to captain starships in Kirk's time either-- that's why Janice Lester took over Kirk's body in the last episode.
And when Janeway became a captain, it proved why-- she LOST her ship on the other side of the galaxy!
This really was in many ways a precursor to Star Trek....growing up in the 60's you can see this as a stepping stone into science fiction inspiration!
Dr Venus is a thinly disguised Gabor sister,the proffesor looks like Bubbles from the trailer park boys.loved this show as a kid despite its political incorrectness
Imagine! An important mission, led by a mere woman! I guess this really is, "science fiction." Thank goodness there'll be a man, or a robot, to take over, if a critical situation develops. You know are women are.
Good to know they'll still be using wooden crates in the future, though. Even if the Hydro-Crane Operator is as incompetent as a woman.
Hey Dr. Venus, Phd., think ya could get the bridge crew some coffee? Then you can wash the dishes.

So, we are using wooden crates to transport space equipment??
As for the PC elements, just watch the first episode.
Venus is introduced with all her credentials, then Steve mentions she makes the best cup of coffee in the galaxy.
Ah, when we gals all knew our place.

Gerry Anderson's female characters were pretty capable, and ahead of their time. They were a good influence for kids back in the 1960s.

One of the best episodes is where Steve Zodiac and Venus are skating together on ice. The puppet operators are GENIUS's

"Don't let that face fool you. She has BRAINS"!!!!
I'll bet that is what they say about Lindsy Lohan too!
This one always cracked me up. In the first episode Steve introduces Venus as "not only a top astrophysicist, but makes a great cup of coffee too."
I miss the 60s
