What Happened to the JUPITER 2 from LOST iN SPACE?

I never get tired of anything 'lost in Space". I'm so glad others feel the same way. Keep the videos coming Dan!

Couldn’t stand Dr Smith. Made it unwatchable. That was when the show was new, BTW. a nerdy classmate would do his Dr Smith panic attack, that was pretty good.

I know that Dan is pleasantly surprised. I started watching this channel last month and the number of subscribers is growing off the chain. This channel gives old folks a chance to relive their childhoods. lol

My childhood was filled with lost in space, star Trek, voyage to the bottom of the sea, etc. Love this channel and keep up the great work 👍

[@shawncosmos5431]

‘voyage to the bottom of the sea ‘. The flying sub was the coolest!!!!

[@jerrys9226]

I always loved the really cool sound of the Jupiter 2.

[@SoloPilot6]

Wow. All content, no padding! And on a great topic. The reason that big pieces like the full-scale Jupiter 2 get trashed is not only because of the cost of storing them, but also hefty taxes that have to be paid on them. In the 1960s, the Sacramento Satraps realized that they could squeeze money out of the studios for their sets and dressing by calling them capital property. MGM in particular had a big stable of period vehicles, having been buying them since the 1910s . . .so they sold nearly everything that wasn't being used in a production at the time, including nearly all of their military vehicles -- which were then leased back when needed. It was a joke in the industry that the new rules had resulted in the destruction of more sets than filming the burning of Atlanta scene in "Gone With the Wind" . . . Paramount (which had inherited Desilu's assets) donated the Star Trek shuttlecraft to the PBS station in LA, which then sold it in one of their auctions. The guy who bought it told me that he paid more to transport it than to buy it, but unfortunately it was damaged by weather . . .eventually to be restored and placed on display a few years ago. Paramount had assessed the value highly, for the tax deduction. Other sets (one that comes to mind is the computer room from "Alien") were donated to non-profits, but most have just been dismantled, repurposed of simply disposed of.

[@randelbrooks]

my compliments on your commentary. This is exactly the sort of thing everyone should hear a lot more about concerning any movie or TV show or even an historical project. Taxes and hidden taxes and costs and deductions are all vital information and it answers a lot of questions like you just dead. I run into so much ignorance about this among beginners who want to get into the video or film business and they miss the big word, business. Permits, taxes, deductions all vital to understand. It is sad that the great studios had to get rid of such valuable things and having worked in movies and TV shows here in Texas we are still feeling the pain. no more big historical period dramas if you have to travel across the country to film on a location when you could've done it in your own backyard and everybody go home at 5 o'clock.

[@sneakerset]

The MGM backlot at Jefferson and Overland (Culver City) was huge - prior to the auction(s). After clearing the lot, the property was turned into a residential complex.. The forward fuselage section of the B-25 "Ruptured Duck" (Thirty Seconds over Tokyo) was visible whenever the studio street gates were opened. Desilu's backlot was also located in Culver City.

[@Retro_Iron]

Adding in some background music from the series was the icing on the cake!! Loved the story!

[@ARWest-bp4yb]

That was great Dan, you can never make too many Jupiter 2 videos!😄👍👍

[@joerinaldi5]

Lost in Space among my top favourite shows of the sixties. Thanks for another great video

[@historybuff66]

I didn’t think the “Time Machine” segment could be surpassed for fascinating enlightenment on the history of a sci fi prop, but this video does just that! Incredible story about an ultra rare 10’ Jupiter 2 model-wouldn’t it have been great to witness it in “There Were Giants in the Earth”? But then, even an inept Cyclopean couldn’t possibly miss the spaceship with a boulder like it did repeatedly with the chariot (?)

I love your channel because I've always wondered whatever happened to some of the iconic props & costumes

[@MoviesMusicMonsters]

Hey thanks so much :-)

[@slidetek]

I’m OG LiS. I remember the excitement for the premier, and how that robot scared the crap out of me premier night. Like close my eyes scared. Anyway, on one of our family trips from SF to LA around 1969ish around the area where there used to be tons of oil rigs, I saw the full size Jupiter 2 sitting flush to the ground surrounded by a bunch of portable buildings. It was and IIRC a radar dish where the dome used to be. 🤷‍♂️ no idea if it was for TV or a movie, but I saw it and it was in view for easily a minute. I was super excited.

[@armchairobserver4747]

You blew my mind with the landing gear from Jupiter 2 in Planet of the apes

[@edwardabdow5497]

I love Saturdays because that’s when your new videos get released. I love the timeless design of the Jupiter 2. When they made the movie in 1998 and the Netflix series I really wanted them to keep the original design, with a few modern twists. It’s good to know some of the models are still out there. Thanks again for keeping those memories alive.

[@MoviesMusicMonsters]

You bet :-) and more importantly, thank you for watching and for your support. :-) Dan

[@kahunadad]

Dan, your videos are always a highlight of my week ! Seeing someone as passionate about my favorite childhood memories as I am warms my heart ! Keep up the great work, sir !

[@lloydgriffin546]

Hello Dan just happened to browse videos and came across this one and I really really enjoyed what you had to show us. I’m 64 years old and I really loved and enjoyed watching lost in space. I also have a copy of the robot that I purchased from an estate sale. The robot is the one from Productions and stands about 10 1/2 inches tall. I feel so very fortunate to have found the robot from a show that I really enjoyed as a child. Again, thank you for sharing.

[@Calibir1]

I watched Lost in Space every day after school. I remember telling my aunt one time that: I was going to be on Lost is Space. I was convinced. I told her to watch that with in a couple to a few weeks that I would be on Lost in Space as Will's friend... Never happened, of course. But I have always wanted a full-size version of the robot. I still do!!! Maybe I still will have one if I could find either one already built and fully working OR a full parts kit and put it together myself at 66+ yrs now. I know "The B-9 Club" - I could never get a response when I tried to contact them. Anyway, I only started off with this comment to tell about my telling my aunt that I was going to be on the show in a few weeks... and that's all I got to say about all that.

[@GHOOGLEMALE]

Loving your enthusiasm Man - I loved that show when I was a kid, been interested in Space ever since.

[@btmonz8383]

One thing that always made me go "huh?" as a kid was there were about 6 different laser gun props used through the run of Lost in Space. I feel that a deep dive into these would make a fascinating episode! This included pistols, rifles and the rarely seen "knuckleduster" gun. Thanks in anticipation! :)

I hope you do segments about "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", since that was Irwin Allen's most succesful and longest running series, but sadly it doesn't seem to get as much notoriety as "Lost in Space".

[@bobbova8708]

Really enjoyed this one thanks Dan! One little thing,City Beneath the Sea was aired on TV as a pilot in 1971,and the flying sub was recycled as one of many aqua foil subs that belonged to Pacifica.the old aurora flying sub models were used in this production as the slight in accuracy of the models were hard to miss.The Lyedecker brothers worked their magic on voyage to the bottom of the Sea especially with the flying sub, flying outside in some shots against the real sky,real object and real sky=highly convincing effect

[@CoolBlue87GT]

Great video. I remember having a model of the flying sub when I was a kid in the 60's.

[@cherylsims5636]

My favorite TV Series as a kid growing up in the 60's. I remember being so mad when they cancelled one weeks episode.I managed to find the TV stations phone number, call it, talk to the program director and yell at him. My parents then yelled at me , when they got the long distance telephone bill. Excellent show I enjoyed your comments film clips and history so much!! A few questions for your upcoming interior sets. What is that room on the top deck to the left of the elevator that people so often go into and come out of? I own every single tape of the Show and have NEVER seen whats inside. I have speculated that where the chariot is? What are fans thoughts? Heres another one. on the lower deck there are shown Dr. Smiths cabin, Wills cabin, Pennys cabin and Prof and Mrs. Cabin. Where are Don and Judy? I have seen one show somewhere , dont ask me where which show the top of the astrogater rising up on a pole so it fits inside the top bubble on the outside of the ship. I know thats not in the Series, but was this something done and perhaps never shot? I know the interior just doesn't match what its suppose to contain, just physically impossible.

[@JeffJacquesmd]

This is so fascinating! I grew up watching LiS on VHS in the 90s (I still have the complete set) and I was also very isolated in my passion for it, none of the kids at school even knew what Lost in Space was - it didn’t show on television in the 90s in Australia. To this day I’m the only fan I know personally. (Except my dad) It’s so great to finally get some really high quality, informative and passionate content about Lost in Space, I could listen forever. Your videos are excellent. Thanks!

Thank you for all the info on the Jupiter 2 as a child I love that ship and I still do at 65 years old it was always my dream to be able to buy it but financial reasons just wouldn't work I remember that first auction of the Gemini 12 I was actually going to bid on it and I figured it would go for so much there was no way I would be able to do it and then when I heard that nobody bought it the first day boy did I kick myself again thank you for all the info on Lost in space really enjoy all your information on it

[@kramerbaretta6383]

You weave such a good story Dan. It’s a shame in that era they tended to just repurpose the props for the next show. I would indeed love to see the Jupiter 2 be married back on top of the launch rig. Looking forward to the interior episode!

[@toonman361]

I would say the old props were reused simply because there was no CGI or 3D printing to make cheap replicas. Reusing saved a ton of money and until modern videos, much of these efforts were unknown by the general public.

[@mikepiatkowski4057]

[@nunyabeeswax3112]

Dan, I have some more ideas of Sci-fi TV series you can talk about. First there is the classic Smallville TV series which ran for nearly a decade with ten seasons. Then there is "Grimm" with six seasons. It had a lot of exciting episodes of the Grimm detective and his partner investigating the crimes perpetrated by the Wesen and had to deal with secret organizations. Both Smallville and Grimm weren't suddenly cancelled and had closure to the series at the end. I have Grimm on a boxed set on DVD, and recently watched the whole series again on the CW which is free to watch. Now I'm currently watching "The Gifted" once again about people that have the X-gene giving them superpowers of some kind but hunted and persecuted by the government. It's also on the CW for free. Please keep adding more of your TV and movie analysis videos. Thanks, and I'm glad I found your interesting channel and had subscribed.

Well without a doubt this is absolutely my favorite video that you have done so far… My love for the Jupiter II started when I was five years old when I saw the previews for the upcoming series. I was transfixed, as so many people were, by that HAUNTINGLY majestic flying saucer going by that 'alien' rock formation. From that moment on, and for the rest of my life I have had a special love for the beautiful Jupiter II. Thank you again Mr. Monroe… A standing ovation to you!!!

Dan, these are just magic. The absolute worst day of my young life came when my mom came home from the grocery store with the much-anticipated TV Guide. I couldn't wait to look up Wednesday, at 7:30 on CBS, only to my horror to read, and I quote, "Last show of the series. Daktari premiers in this time slot next week". Dude, I was crushed!!😮‍💨 As one of my colleagues at FOX31 Denver remembers: "I was literally crying for hours when I found this out!". Well, so "Junkyards in Space" was the swan song (and I've hated Daktari ever since!). Thanks for these gems, mate; you truly have no idea how precious your investigations and videos are. Cheers.

[@stevesolon6710]

Just a quick final note, Dan - Paul Lubliner's astounding video on bringing the Gemini 12 back to life for Andre was monstrously cool. My only disappointment (certainly not a critique) is that he ingeniously recreated the rotating ion core lights, but not the rotating scanner in the clear dome on top. From the sequence in "The Derelict" where the J-2 comes to rest after it enters the Derelict, it's obvious that there are two dishes, mounted back to back@@MoviesMusicMonsters on the same shaft as the rotating lights in the ion core. When the J-2 lifts and rotates on leaving the Derelict's chamber, a close-up reveals a glimpse of the rotating scanner, with the mechanics hidden by the scrim on the upper deck. Well, anyway, t'would have been very cool to have that recreated, too. Okay, enough crabbin'! Thanks again, Dan. Cheers from New Mexico. 🥸

The Jupiter 2 always seemed a bit like Doctor Who’s Tardis to me. How it fitted the retracted landing legs, the chariot and the living quarters into the lower deck was quite a feat of engineering!

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

Agreed, the interior was much larger than the outside was made to be. But part of the magic was the ceiling and two walls were not there, and added to the extra space feel. Had they included the ceiling at least, it would have made the feel much smaller.

[@michaelmcenery7515]

The chariot was stored in cases aboard the J2 it was assembled after they landed in the first season, always wondered why they never made a garage for it instead of having to build it and take it apart evey time they flew off to another planet

[@thomaslevy2119]

When I was a kid back then, I made a Jupiter 2 from a pair of large, deep, (restaurant take-out size) paper plates stapled together (this was before the invention of Styrofoam clamshells). I cut the viewing window into it and taped a peanut butter jar lid on the bottom for the fusion engine. I attached a couple of fishing lines to the top with a stick for a handle so I could puppeteer it flying and crashing (a lot). Had lots of fun and it cost nothing to make. To be a kid again . . .

[@MoviesMusicMonsters]

That's awesome. You should make another one the same way :-)

[@thomaslevy2119]

@@MoviesMusicMonsters As far as I know, that size paper plate is no longer available. And, as an adult now, my imagination will never be as good as when I was a kid. Now, it would not look like the Jupiter 2, but only two paper plates stapled together.
