- Back in 2008, one of the original Star Wars film model makers from ILM, William (Bill) George, and crew manage to create this magnificent short film of a fictional Sci-Fi Air Show... including the Lost in Space JUPITER 2!! Remember that this is the original short film made, and there have been improvements since that time. You may visit the site to view the actual models used, and their true sizes at ( www.scifiairshow.com/about ) . For it's time, what an amazing job they did.... and I must agree that the J2 is especially amazing to see! As I stated, Bill continues to improve upon the Sci Fi Air show in quality and what ships are shown. Visit the site and check it all out.

For kids, the J2 was an ideal home. It was safe & secure, made of cosmium steel and with a forcefield "fence" for extra protection. Even the windows had blast shields when needed. Inside it was a clean & orderly retreat from a world that children don't fully understand nor can deal with. Plus, Mom (Maureen) was always there and Dad (John) was always ready to defend it, whether with bare hands or laser rifles and pistols. Both were loving and wise.
See, I didn't need to go see a Therapist! You just explained why I loved the show as a child lock in!
The Jupiter 2 was great because it was the ultimate RV, a Winnebago to the stars. You'd travel someplace new, park on the surface, unpack and set up a little camp area outside the door, then break out the smaller vehicle to do some sightseeing in the vicinity.
By some combination of chance or foresight, this ship is here with us today & those of us who love her are so grateful.
Love the Jupiter II. I was 10 years old when this show aired and loved it!!!!!
Yes Me too 10!

I was 4 years old

It has always been my favorite. My mom made me a birthday cake of the Jupiter 2 for my birthday when I was 5 or 6. That's always been my favorite cake. The ship setting in a small diorama of a planetary landing. It was so much fun I was sad when we had to cut it.
The favorite TV show of my childhood when I was growing up in England in the 60's. Loved the show and of course the Jupiter 2, which was such an amazing spaceship. It instilled in me a life-long love of space and astronautics.
I love that show, when I was a kid, I played hours and hours, with my block friends pretending to be lost in space!!! what a days!!!!
This is so very well done that you wish that someone had gotten the money together to buy all of these famous scifi props and made a museum for all us fans.
I saw this video about a year ago and I am still blown away by the awesome special effects of this project. Outstanding job to all the people involved in making this UA-cam masterpiece! 😃👍
blown away by the awesome special effects, LMAO!
@@dragonfly492 you do realise it's not....ummm....real...
My favorite part of the Jupiter Two is the flight control dome on the bridge. Seems like Dr. Smith was always trying to divert the ship's course in hopes getting rich.
This was always my idea of the 'ideal home' since first watching L.I.S. In 1966.
An actual museum with full size models of all these SCIFI ships and other props that you could actually tour like old battleships and submarines would be awesome! I think a lot of people would love it, you could make an entire theme park on this premise.
👍🙂👍
amazing is all I can say, it looks like we were really there at the airshow.
What a concept, a scifi air show! I want to believe!!!
I love the whole series of Lost in Space
Not season 2, I hope...
I love the heck out of the Jupiter - even though its design could never allow for the 3 deck space, nor storage for the Chariot or the escape pod. Still its a fun TV show. I bet hardcore logic-oriented scientists lost a lot of sleep worrying how people could buy into the big lie - LoL
I loved the elevator on the Jupiter 2.
And of course the Robot 🤖
The B9 Robot ROCKS!🤖
One of my all time Favorite shows. Of all the things I saw on the show, the one I would like to have today would be the washing machine. In one of the shows, Miss Robinson dumps a hamper of clothes in. Closes the lid and presses a few buttons and in three seconds you hear a beep. The clothes are clean, folded and shirk rapped. Ready to put away. What a time saver.
Wow! Very impressive! Of course, my fave ship after the Jupiter 2 really is the Eagle, so I especially appreciated the nod.
The space 1999 eagle is my idea of what a space utility vehicle would be. The military has a vehicle called a HEMTT (pronounced HEMIT), which is a general purpose transport vehicle. You could put any kind of shelter, or payload on the back. In the space 1999 series, there were different modules that the eagle could carry, like cargo, personnel, mobile labs etc. Practical and modular.
I grew up in the 60s and 70s watching "Lost in space" what a time to be a kid in those days.
Ben Rayonez And that incomparable John Williams music! What memories.
Every day after school.
@@tommytruelick1871 Every Wednesday night @ 8:00pm on CBS channel 2 for me, (I'm a bit older than you!)
It was actually 7pm on Wednesdays!!
I remember two episodes that featured the "Jupiter Two" close up with people exiting and entering it! "The Derelict" and "A Hostile Planet"!
I have a feeling that Guy Williams and Jonathan Harris are in heaven having a chuckle together..
The biggest mystery for me is, what special sound effects were used to generate the different stages of the Jupiter 2's engine. From powerful sound of liftoff from earth in episode 1, The Reluctant Stowaway, which also used an anti-gravity drive, used to escape the gravity pull from earth. The anti-gravity drive was never meantioned in the show, and the 250 mega watts of power definitely had an unpleasant experience for Dr. Smith. The glow around the Jupiter 2 at liftoff was produced by the anti-gravity drive. The special sound effects was well done also when the Jupiter 2's engine went through the 4 stages of power before lifting off without the use of the anti-gravity drive. This video was Absolutely Awesome!!
My favorite sci-fi space ship of all time
As a kid when watching the show, I would always think to myself. "There is no way that all that stuff could fit inside a ship that small!!!"
You know like the chariot. The laser drill etc.etc .etc.. never made any sense.
That's what I thought too. Even if they had to assemble everything, there still would not have been enough room. The only big thing that they had room for was the shuttle. It was in its own compartment on the first level. I could never figure out how they had 2 levels.
Same here and it's why I hate the house on the tv show Everybody loves Raymond. Those types of Cape Cod houses had one bedroom upstairs and with slanted ceilings that you were forever bumping your head into where as on the show it had three commodiusly large bedrooms with no sloping ceilings as depicted in the exterior.
It was a fantasy world ...that's how it all fit!!!... lol
Ahh, the beloved Jupiter 2! Always ready to whisk a 10 yo boy away to wherever his imagination could take him and safely bring him home....
So True!
Wow, the robot spider-walker from Johnny Quest in the opening scene, nice little cameo there.
Yeah, I wish there was such a thing as a sci-fi airshow, I personally love the concept of this that everything was built as a real aircraft in the Sci-Fi Airshow universe instead of models and mockups as was the case in real life for all these classic films and TV shows.
Personally, the one I'd really like to have a ride in would be the Orion III from 2001 (AKA the Pan-Am Space Clipper), to LEO and back, have to confess it's one of my favorites. Maybe you could do a video on that one sometime?
Cheers,
Brendan O.
Lockheed P-3 Orion...? Avion de patrouille maritime ...?
@@yannickmadec2050
Non, je voulais dire l'avion spatial fictif Orion III du film 2001 : L'Odyssée de l'espace.
I was 6-8 yo during the TV presentation and I could never understand how many things could be kept in that spaceship. It was evident that the size of the ship (compared with the cast) in outdoor scenes, was the same of an ordinary truck, It was a time of innocence in television without correct notion of proportionality. But however that's my favorite serie of childhood (Time Tunnel also) and what made me study engineering.
Me too LOL
It was the same principle as in "Gilligan's Island:" how did they have all those non-essential items in the confined space of the SS Minnow or the Jupiter II? LOL, both shows were strictly designed to be fun! Actually, it all worked for us as kids...except when they got to the LIS episode, "The Space Creature" in season three. When they tried to make us believe that there was this huge "power core" beneath deck two, even we kids couldn't swallow that!
This show did not compute...
I thought the same, and, though I still do, since encountering a geodesic dome house, I found that a circular structure seems much smaller from the outside than it actually is because it immediately begins to slope away from you to either side no matter at what point you are standing. That circle of the J2 would have covered a lot of ground, if the prop had been complete. My main problem was that the lower level seemed just as high as the upper, even though on the miniature, it appears noticeably lower. Then, in the 3rd season, they actually gave it a third level where the reactor core was ensconced.
Even as a kid I always laughed at how they wanted us to believe that the Jupiter 2 carried seven humans, a big robot, all of the equipment and supplies, including the food, AND the Chariot, in that small spaceship. The Chariot alone was nearly half the size of the ship.
They had to assemble the chariot. It was packed away. Watch some of the first episodes. I think Don West sez: "let's assemble the chariot"
Apparently is was a quick assembly and breakdown. They always managed to take it with, even when leaving on short notice.
Awwww.... I wish a show like this would happen again and that I could go. Can we still see that replica of the Jupiter 2 in 2022?
Great show! I loved the Jupiter 2! I went crazy looking for a model back in 69-70. J.C. Penny was selling them. The last one they had sold before I got there and they were discontinued. Didn't get one until nearly 30 years later! My favorite part of that ship is that elevator!
Here's that elevator: ua-cam.com/video/85mMZFIyFkY/v-deo.html
Danger, Will Robinson. DANGER!!!!
Dr.Smith....you have lost your membership card...in the human race!
Run Will Robinson!
I never understood why they decided to redesign it for the movie. The ship was iconic.
The Jupiter 2 is the most poorly designed miniature in history, when bumped up against what it was supposed to be portraying.
cool how the Galileo from trek cruised by in the background!
what about the cargo carrier from Star Trek the Motion Picture? it flew by in the upper right corner.
Shows like Lost In Space was a time were people had such a imagination. Back in the day when we watched this show, it just captivated us. In which brought new inventions and new shows. What great shows and a great era to be a kid. I'm so fortunate we had shows like this and all the other show we all loved. Running home from getting off the bus to watch these shows. Space Giants, Ultraman, Johnny Socko, my goodness so many great shows back then.
WOW, for a minute I was fooled to believe all those sci-fi spacecrafts were life size, they're just CGI effects!
At 4:30, you can see proof that this was CGI. There is a "ship" flying in the air.
So that's what they are.
The sound design is what throws it off. That and the lighting is off
@butchtropic uh I was talking about this video.
@@3v3rb0t True. The times he's standing and speaking in the "open air" but was clearly recorded in an enclosed space. Too bad - everything else was so nicely done...if he'd just paid a little more attention to this type of detail....
Best thing I have seen in years!
My favorite spaceship... ever!
As informative, as it is visually stunning!
A staple of my childhood. I really appreciate whomever had the foresight and dedication to preserve it. Great shows back then: Munsters, Beaver, My Three Sons, Twilight Zone, Mr. Ed...
This makes me happy. It's a joy to see these sci-fi icons from my child hood.
It never ceases to amaze me the cool videos regular people can put together. nice work guys.
Yup. Except that it wasn't "regular people ..."
("One of the original Star Wars film model makers from ILM, William (Bill) George, and crew manage to create this magnificent short film of a fictional Sci-Fi Air Show.")
00:58 - "Chicasaw Falls indeed! WAIT FOR ME!" ;)
Best kids sci fi show ever. Most imaginative hands down. The ship clearly has zero room for a lower deck but they always show the family on the ladder or elevator going there. All my best memories of pure imaginary fun were from these many great episodes. The one in the shrinking robot they were stuck inside of....the one where dr. Smith and will could see earth from a window in a traveling space junk ship, and had to choose either saving Penny...or getting back to Earth by stepping through the port as time ran out....i still have strong memories of all these episodes...a part of me forever.
So wonderful to see it it brings back lots of great memories I would love to see it again in live person
Great video ! I always wanted to have a house with the Jupiter II main deck and door. As a matter of fact, I still want it.
Me too and it better have an electric door on the front
Extremely well done! Wonderful idea. I wish I could go to a real scifi airshow like this! People take notice. This is what you call ......
Thinking outside of the box!
Heart be still. For a moment I thought this air show was for real and why was I not told.
Munsters was another great imaginative show from this era.
Wow what they can do with CG now, the amount of stuff they had going on in that video is just amazing.
No, it isn't. lol
The Jupiter 2WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. ONE OF THE GREATEST SITCOMS EVER.
I'm totally in Love with the Jupiter 2 and the Eagle !!!😛😛😛😛😍😍😍😍😍
It was an amazing ship and show and I watched it when I was a kid!
This vid was REALLY well done, presented as though all the CGI ships were actually there and functioning. Lots of fun! 😊
Except that they're not "CGI ships." All of them are practical miniatures.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING YOU MEAN THERE IS NO SCI FI AIR SHOW.THIS WOULD BE UNBELIEVABLE IF IT EXISTED.
But I did enjoy watching the various ships flying by during the report. lol
I was 10 when i first saw lost in space and I asked my dad how it was able to pack all the things in it like the hover packs and the rover etc. the force field stuff and the family. I loved the show but it really irked me that the maths didn't add up.. still great to see it.
I watched the show in 1967 back in Brazil but still love it. The Jupiter II along with the Enterprise are my favorite spaceship due to their unique design.
Guy Williams played Zorro in earlier movies!
And television.
What a waste ...not using Guy William's more. The $$ though was very good for him...
Wow! Someone built a full-size Eagle? Very nice. I'd like to see that one close-up and also the Jupiter 2.
All this takes me back to when I was 10 years old and watched the first episode of "Lost In Space" in glorious black and white on our families old Admiral T.V..
The thing is that the Jupiter II was a spacecraft that appeared a lot larger on screen then it appears to me now. After all, where was the Chariot and the rest of their equipment stored? Still, allot of the technology that made the spacecraft work was really ahead of it's time in thought and planning. For example; The use of suspended animation to preserve the crew during a long, long flight, the fact that the ship was computer controlled and the addition of a robot, who was there to intervene during the flight, or later in ground planet bound activities.
Seventy-six years, the time it would take to travel to Alpha Centaur,i is a long time.
Can you imagine the type of individuals it would take to make such a journey? And it's a good thing that Major West had a pretty daughter in the form of the commanders daughter to grow closer to. A fact, that interestingly enough, wasn't lost on me.
Such a truly beautiful vessel.
Thank you so much for posting this. Classic.
When I was a kid, I stapled 2 paper plates together too!
I used scotch tape!
Prepare to be sued for copyright infringement.
@@MediaWatchDawg Yeah- especially if you spray painted it silver LOL!!
I’m from the UK and the Jupiter 2 gets my vote.😎
That was very clever! And i too love the Jupiter 2!!! Liked how in the LIS movie, the original Jupiter 2 was the launch vehicle (Jupiter 1) to get the new Jupiter 2 in space.
Yeah I always thought the scale of the ship was waaaayyy off.... It should be 500% bigger
they did it based off of the original movie, not the (way better) NETFLIX tv show version
@@patblogz2908 Correction. It was based on the original TV series in 1965. Not the movie.
Oh so correct!
To capture a childs imagination they had the perfection dimensions for the ship as it encourages more vivid imagination and bewilderment how a ship so small could be so large and roomy inside.
That's so weird how they're greenscreened over it. At least they lit it fairly well, but it's still pretty obvious. Acting like they're standing in a parking lot with this thing but you hear like.. cable access commercial quality audio with the small room echo. lol
I noticed that too. A bunch of us at our studio were shaking our heads at the audio. Lol nice attempt though if you're willing to suspend belief.
It's the first thing that hits you. He should have worn a lav mike.
All that effort on the effects spoiled by mediocre audio.

They are not the only greenscreened things in the video - the Jupiter 2 model itself is greenscreened into the outdoor scene there (it's actually only a few feet in diameter).
Brilliant. Thanks for the memories.
Space 1999 was fantastic but wow the Jupiter 2 has captured my heart. It was like camper with light speed.
WHAT??? Never made a model KIT? I had one!! had the upper and lower deck.
This was funny, the cheesy CGI...
I didn't want to point out that one mistake. But I remember seeing the model kit.
"The pain, ohhh, the pain. Come here and help me you Bubble Headed Booby."
funny
This show was my favorite of all time during my childhood. So great!!
Fascinating. Thank you for posting this. I assumed it was all just a set, and had no idea there was really a full-size model.
I loved Lost In Space, but really I would have thrown Dr. Smith out in flight, really!
I think they tried that, lol!
William Butler I would have shot Dr Smith AND Gillian !!
@Scott Halloween 😀😁😂😅 agreed!
He did cause it to happen.
I think major West would agree with you!
Colonial Shuttle in the back ground :)
The funny thing about the Jupiter-2 was that there is simple not enough room in the model for all the space and rooms they have in the ship during the episodes
I loved the show always thought how cool it would be to see the actual ship and here it is
One of the main reasons I like to watch the show is to see the putterer 2 especially the interior of the ship. That is the part of the show I watch most intently. I liked it better when they were in actually in space rather then Stranded on a planet ,Though still interesting. It was where ever they went ,Stranded on a planet or traveling light years in space,They were always at home in the Jupiter 2 .
at 5:22...a destroyed Jupiter 2....one word heartbreaking lol
Haha, this is great! Love how you talk about it as it was actually launched - complete with hd-blur and excellent NASA-style muzak
Just before the start of the second season in 1966 my father bought a Zenith 25 inch color console TV, which was fantastic because Lost in Space was going to be broadcast in Color that year. The Zenith had a 25 inch TV, a stereo record player that had speeds from 16, 33, 45 & 78 rpm's and an AM & FM/Stereo radio. I remember it cost $800 in 1966 (almost $6,000 in 2017 dollars). That was the first time I ever heard of or saw an FM radio and in 1966 there were only 2 FM stations available in our area and they both played only Classical Music, but that was about to change.
Penny was CUTE!!!!
yeah, BUT NOT NOW :(
frase1234 Eh, shuddup, Angela Cartwright is still cute as a button with those eyes and that smile.
She always reminded me of "Mary Anne" from Gilligan's Island. The blonde (what's her name, anyway?) and Ginger were supposed to be the sexy females in those shows, but the cute and wholesome ones were, by far, the fan favorites.
Agent Fungus Marta Kristen played Judy Robinson.
MaskedMan66 : I know. I was just being facetious. She portrayed a rather forgettable character. Insert blonde here; must have beautiful blonde in show. Angela Cartwright was a show biz veteran by the time of LIS.
This would've been perfect except for the echo off the walls where the greenscreen was being recorded, so it's obvious that none of the people were actually outdoors.
Almost sounds like the voices were recorded in a tiled bathroom.
My thoughts exactly.
As well as intentionally jiggling the camera around in order to gratuitously show off the motion-tracking when in reality they'd probably have a locked down camera.
David Roberts Wow, the stupidity of your comment.

I was born in 1953. I was just the right age when this show aired that it was easy for me to "suspend disbelief".
Quinn Martins The Invaders, Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek,( The Enterprise and the Shuttle craft) Irwin Allen's Voyage to the the Bottom of the sea,( the Sea view and the Flying Sub) The Time Tunnel, Lost in Space, (the Jupiter 2) and Land of the Giants, ( The Spin-drift), Gerry Anderson's Space:1999 ( Moon base Alpha and the Eagle) I remember them all on TV in the 60's and 70's. I also remember the spacecraft 20th Century Fox used on Planet of the Apes........ Growing up and being part of those TV shows was an experience. They weren't OVERLY COMPLICATED and confusing as today's movies and TV shows are. the were simple, practical shows that made it easy for the audience to identify with. If only they could bring that concept back to TV or the theaters, it might help for sure.
For a moment I thought OMG where and when was this!???!!!! I'd have loved to have seen all of these scale models!!! Then reality slapped me in the face! 😭😳🤪🤣🤣🤣
The first few seconds I was thinking along the same lines, but then reality set in.
Well done! Too bad about the audio...
Nearly perfect, guys!
I always loved this show from my childhood in 60s to this day - especially the beautiful Jupiter 2. How I dreamed of flying through space in this ship!
"Dr.Smith...you have now lost your membership card in the human race!" The robot.
I only wish the ships were actually built so I could go see them. The Eagle is my favorite.
I don't think they ever built more than a model of the Eagle. There were sets for the cockpit and the cargo, but that would be about it.
There was an exterior of the eagle built. I remember seeing Alan standing by the hatch in one episode.
Eagle one from space 1999 at the begining. 11 y\o me just got all giddy. lol
The eagle was the highlight of the show. In real life the vessel was technological very possible.
This show and the Flintstones...lived on them! Underdog and Rocky and Bullwinkle must see t.v. too!
My favorite show when I was a kid. But looking now, I remember so much stuff in deck below, but not in this one.
Yay Eagle and Proteus....
This is hilarious! What a great job-- really well done. I enjoyed every minute of it.
AWESOME JOB!!!! LOST IN SPACE 4 LIFE . . . AND>> (( NEVER FEAR SMITH IS HERE )) RIP JANATHAN HARRIS
That was fun from my childhood. Thanks.
Holly SHIT!!!!!!! THIS IS GREAT FANTASTIC,WOW,!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!
So, is this a CG model or a full size practical model. Your work is so great, it is hard to really tell.
OMG... I LOVE photon antennas! I am totally saving up for a J2
Laughed muh ass off at that last "UFO" saucer photo from Chickasaw Falls. It was the Jupiter 2 as Chickasaw Falls was the town where they ended up when they went back in time that one episode. I remember actor Robert Pine trying to explain to someone on the phone, " It kinda looked like a plate, or a saucer... Yea, that's what you'd call it, a flying saucer!!"
Yes they DID make a plastic model kit of it .
I had one !
Do your research !
2019
Serious LIS geekdom... Go LIS!!
Why is the J2 is so popular? It was the perfect home! Safe & secure: with the force field up and running and esp with the metal panels drawn over all the windows, NOTHING could get in to you. You were safer than a turtle in his shell! Next, it was always clean and orderly inside: no mess, no chaos. That also made it peaceful to your mind. It had lasers handguns, a first aid kit, flashlights and fire extinguishers near the main exit, so you were prepared for any emergency. Next, the galley was always stocked with food. It had cool things, like radar/scanner, seismograph, a "radiotelescope", its own science laboratory, intercoms in each bedroom, those cool Murphy beds -- too many things to count! Plus, if you didn't like someplace, you could (when you had fuel and things were all working), just get up and fly away to someplace better. Last, but not least, mom was always there! She made the J2 a warm home, a loving retreat, a safe sanctuary from the world.
Loved that show as a kid
