[@philipcunningham4979]

The model was attached to cables and filmed taking off and landing. They didn't have CGI in 1965. So to hide the cables was great feat at the time. Filming in canyons made it actually looking like crash landings and takoffs from alien planets. The island in the sky episode was an initial crash landing that still looks impressive given it was 1965 technology

[@KRYPTOS_K5]

I agree about the sounds. If you think in terms of retro future alternative evolving realities, the Allen reality (pop satira put apart) is more human, more mundane, in a certain sense it is much more realistic than the Roddenberry's reality -- which is a much more dated simulacrum of real (Soviets versus Americans and UN Federation versus Klingon etc). Star Trek is a fabula (fable) aiming some moral and Lost in Space is a fairy tale aiming nothing in particular, nothing moral most of time and nothing truly new about the (and supposed well known) ultimately human soul.

This video is a little more realistic showing the power and speed needing to be maintained for quite a while to reach escape velocity in order to be free from a planet’s gravity. Often we would see that as soon as space is visible, you are “free”. Mr. Allen often threw out already known scientific facts in favor of drama, (like comets giving off heat like a sun hurtling through space like a flying sun, or supernovas flying through space like a comet)!! I still ate it up as a kid and loved it when they went back to space travel in season 3!!!

[@josenighthawk]

WONDERFUL! ... The original series had mostly lousy infantile plots, but it was spot-on in it's main, terrific theme, and which one film and two remakes failed to understand and capture: the Jupiter 2 was a cozy, thrilling, snug-under-the-blanket Winnebago-like camping ride with family and friends through the Galaxy!! .. Even the clumsy WOKE creators of the recent Netflix redux were totally clueless as to this joyful camping charm of the original, but instead gave us dysfunctional characters and a ghastly-looking Jupiter 2 that looked like a cold, lame thermostat dial! ... Please re-do LiS and don’t fret about incidental scientific and technical inaccuracies - allow the child-fantasies in all of us fill in these gaps! … Who doesn't fantasize, late on a rainy night, under the blankets, being with family and friends in the original Jupiter 2 visiting wonderful worlds through the galaxy?!

You have to look very closely, to see the smoke/steam moving backwards, to realize this was the “crash footage” in reverse! They did a very good job, and I give them credit for being able to use this iconic footage this way!

[@SDK-im8sl]

In real world, most likely one of the reasons for the circular/saucer design of the Gemini 12 (later Jupiter 2) and its symmetrical bottom, was so that distant shots could be run in reverse.

Back then they were very concerned as not to burn film which meant wasting the film because production was very expensive.

I notice at 1:19 that Lost in Space have a much more realistic idea of how big a planet is than Star Trek. On Star Trek, the Enterprise always looked like it was orbiting something about the size of a basketball. The shot at 1:19 gives a much better perspective on the scale of a planet.

[@karmicselling4252]

Alpha Centauri is a triple star system in the southern constellation of Centaurus. It consists of three stars: Rigil Kentaurus, Toliman and Proxima Centauri. So it's probably not that surprising that light would be spotted on it. If you don't believe me ... go outside and look at the Sun. Plenty of lights on there.

[@bsimpson6204]

That was a gruelling take off, not that it bothered the monkey too much. I’m pretty sure my moped can achieve escape velocity now 👍

[@PETERJOHN101]

I was always puzzled why moving at about 15 miles per hour during takeoff was so painful... not enough force in that liftoff to rattle a kitten. 🤣

[@SDK-im8sl]

In story, we could say that the artificial gravity (AG) shifting modes and performing powerful functions created unavoidable gravity waves within the specially-designed integral hull. Perhaps AG was used to contain and densify deutronium fuel within the fusion core.
