This is all 60s technology I cant imagine what they went through to design all of this ? Very impressive this stuff is almost 60 years old and still working. It would of taken a beating on set and to still function after all this time too cool

The noise from the motors driving the radar screens must have driven the sound man insane during filming. In fact, when you consider all the doo-dads that were running at any one time during the space flight segments, that was probably one very noisy set. In fact, you'll notice that the "Jacob's ladder" devices next to the freezing tubes were only seen operating in the pilot episodes and there is no live action sound when those shots were filmed. They would have played absolute hell with the sound recordings. They were never seen again in operation.

May be it's gotten just a bit crappy with age?

@@Mcfreddo Probably. But even brand new and well oiled, those little electric motors would generate quite a bit of electro-magnetic interference, easily picked up by the sound taping equipment if the microphones got too close. I would imagine more than a few takes were ruined by a buzzing hum interfering with the dialog.

@@HAL_NINER_TRIPLE_ZERO Probably needed to loop a lot of the dialog if it was performed near the controls in operation. The director and DOP would have had to plan around the sound issues a lot to get the right coverage.

Science fiction writers never seemed to have predicted touch screens, mechanical switches everywhere.

That radar screen is just a flat disc that is turning, could have made that from a record player. I think their imagination was limited to what could be created with the technology and budget they had available.

Nope, they couldn't ever predict that a 5'' touch screen could turn humanity into a bunch of mindless automatons. Give me analog switches any day.
@itwsntme9 ай бұрын
They didn't predict screens at all. In the sixties and seventies shows, a computer was a big box with blinking lights. Which, in all fairness, is what early computers looked like. Amazingly, this stereotype lasted all the way to the nineties. If you look closely, in Jurassic Park, even though they're using Silicon Graphics computers, they still have boxes with blinking lights in the back of the operation room.

I was a young teenager when I saw a magazine article on "2001: A Space Odyssey," with color photos of the ships and interiors. It's hard to imagine the impact the professional-looking sets and viewscreen displays had on someone raised on Irwin Allen and 1950s SF. To be fair, actual spacecraft of the time like Gemini and Apollo had panels that looked a lot more like Jupiter II hardware than "2001" hardware.

As a 9 year old kid back then, I bet that we believed that every switch and light had a real purpose...and that's what it would look like on its launch date of October 16, 1997.

A fellow industrial engineer and I visited 'Alpha Control' after three days at East Moriches in 1997 sorting through avionics systems 'portions' from Flight 800. That was the first time I found it necessary to argue with accounting over my expense account, they couldn't fight the 'would you rather have paid a bar tab?' logic

I wonder if anybody ever built or will build a complete! replica upper or lower deck of the J2?! Imagine for ex. if your home looked like/& you slept & ate in a lower deck replica! i would think to replicate that working elevator would b insanely expensive. Recreating all the freezing tubes & 2 motorized airlock doors for an upper deck would b even worse - i guess the upper deck could b used as a living room. I would not want to leave!

I didn't watch Lost In Space, I grew up on Star Trek in syndication in the '70s. (Lost in Space must not have had much syndication or I would have discovered that?) I gotta say, the flight deck is actually nicer and much more detailed and realistic than the Star Trek bridge controls. Just smaller and less of it. I can't imagine how they recorded dialogue over that sound effect, though. Is the sound much louder today due to aging bearings and so forth?

May I PLEASE come over and play?? How in the world was all of this acquired/rescued?? I'm guessing the set in which they all reside (please appreciate impeccable grammar) is a rebuild, is it from thed original blueprints? And *must* know, what the heck IS that gizmo in the center?

The middle section IS from the original Jupiter 2 set. The other pieces are "Fox" props, but from other shows assembled together here.

They probably dubbed (looped) the dialog. It's more common than you would think. A lot of scenes shot outdoors in windy situations or with wind machines (which are very noisy) almost always have to be dubbed later.
