Of course, the Eagle was actually a nuclear powered extension of 1960s Apollo technology. It was a single stage to orbit (SSTO) spacecraft with the agility of a heavy fighter aircraft. Have achieved orbit it could then break out of low orbit to transfer to the moon - which after 1999 was moving (very fast, one presumes).
Oh, it had laser weapons too.
Great fun, but not actually realistically plausible, despite the appearance.
Acutaly I found the design holds merit still toeay.. just not the landing on earth bit. For a service vehicle.. it, or something very much like it.. would work quite well to supply a permanent moonbase.
Flying one of these in Orbiter you get the feel for how a wide stance vehicle like this reacts during docking. Great stuff.
interesting friend. thanks for the technical specs. i remember watching it in the 70s an i was always asking mi dad how things worked . i still has a model . . . right nest to my TV. cool yeah ?
Wow! That was incredible! I felt like I did when I was 8 years old watching the original (reruns of course) on TV back in 1978! Thanks for the effort!
The lighting in the docking tunnel was a very subtle and well done detail.

Who did this work? Kind of grainy so I just figured it's a copy.

Excellent! You even put in a little jiggle when the boarding tube makes contact with the pod!

Very well done. Of course I know of time consuming this can be, but I'd love to see more.

The second part is called "Space 1999 Eagle transporter takeoff" sans the "prep" part.
Check it out!
