YouTube sure is great for finding lost memories. Anybody else remember this theme song?
Loved it as a kid, but can't even watch it as an adult. They were supposed to be on a 50-year journey to Alpha Centauri in the pilot (in suspended animation, no less), but after that damn Dr. Smith sabotaged the Jupiter II they couldn't stay in space for more than 20 minutes without crash-landing on a planet with a habitable atmosphere & (often incredibly comical) aliens to boot. Can't decide to this day whether they should have hung Smith or given him the Nobel Prize in physics for about ten years in a row...

(All right...RedSky might actually be older than me!
 ) Very cool, man; thanks!Noticed that Gerry Anderson was the producer...wow. This guy exerted a truly seminal influence; he surely deserves a good-sized crater on the Moon or Mars as well as an asteroid named after him at the very least. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

QUOTE (nprev @ Mar 28 2007, 11:37 PM)  (All right...RedSky might actually be older than me! ) Very cool, man; thanks!Yeah, looks like I have a few years on you. You're right about Gerry Anderson; I'm sure he inspired a lot of kids to get interested in spaceflight and science... from Supercar (1960), XL5 (1962)... the Thunderbirds.... to Space 1999 in the 70s. I loved the XL5 closing theme. I remember it even getting a bit of radio play in the US back then. I just found the "real" full version. I'm glad they didn't use the bittersweet last verse on XL5; I think it would have demoralized me as a little kid. But now I can appreciate it as a realistic grounding truth for the long past hopes and ambitions of a child, but fulfilled today by web sites like this one.  http://sfwriter.com/fireball.mp3 |
