Space: 1999 Mattel playset featuring the “Astro-flash Computer”. Basically a blinking lightbulb. 😂 As kids we didnt care but I admit I never saw this playset growing up. 🤖 #Space1999
Spent some time this weekend re-mastering Corey's #Space1999 wallpapers in #WallarooApp and on our Patreon. If you're a fan of the series and you subscribe, be sure to check them out.
I updated the wallpapers for 6K resolutions, added all new Home, Lock and Moonscape variants and even created an all new color scheme - Slate. Enjoy!
I contend that if Space:1999 had writing on a par with its art direction, costuming, and casting, it would still be a going concern while Star Trek would be a quaintly amusing curiosity of its time like Lost In Space. Oy vey, that writing, though, especially that second season.
I particularly liked I think in the first season, how the computer would spit out results or analyses in the form of a tiny sliver of paper coming out from the middle of a variable wall of computational electronics.
Also my favourite and perhaps only memory of a decent plotline was the Lagrange Earth, a second Earth almost identical to ours, but hidden from view and therefore undiscovered, as it was locked in an orbit opposite the Sun to us.

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED: Kickstarter gescheitert, dafür private Finanzierung
Ich hatte neulich über die Dokumentation THE EAGLE HAS LANDED geschrieben, die sollte sich um das ikonische Raumschiff Eagle aus Gerry Andersons SciFi-Serie SPACE: 1999 drehen und über ein Crowdfunding auf Kickstarter finanzie
I wonder if there are any long-term implications for a planet having a moon that orbits opposite the planet's rotation.
I've got one of those in a story, and it's okay, a Wizard Did It, but I'm not sure if this scenario is unstable because of how their gravity interacts. At the very least, maybe it's slowing down the rotation of the planet slightly?
Some Space 1999 Eagle images. I’ve recently backed a Kickstarter project to produce the definitive documentary on this iconic ship. #LightWave3D#Space1999
Always wanted one of these, the Eagle Transporter ship from Space 1999. Finally had a chance to download and 3D print the model. Took a couple of weeks to put it all together, along with adding the decals. (Sylvester the cat is in the background, another cool 3D printed model) #3DPrinting#Space1999@prusa3D
