SPACE:1999 Surface Exploration Vehicle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2021
- I was always intrigued by this one of the three tanks shown in the episode “The Infernal Machine”, but I wanted to see it used as a vehicle for surface exploration teams (such as Sanderson’s perhaps) and lunar resource service. This is a concept of the Alphans harvesting water, and a look inside this long haul - science station vehicle.

My name is Edward J.Ross...I was the team leader for the New York City Area team of the Google Lunar XPrize...All I can say is...your videos in regards to Space 1999...brought joy to my heart...please continue to inspire those of us who seek to one day live among the stars
Thank you for your very kind words! I am delighted and honored to hear from a science tech professional like yourself! I will do my best to keep the videos coming :)
I was a big fan of Space: 1999 when I was growing up, this is an amazing piece of work that really captures the feel of the show.
Big fan too, it really does
i was really inspired by that show and still love when I was a kid.......nice job!!
Thanks!
Stays true to the original, and expands upon it. The way it should be. Excellent work.
Ted, I think you better pitch yourself into position for the remake or revival of the Space:1999 series! You’ve got the whole technological ethos in your designs and work.
You’re bringing Moonbase Alpha to life - all those things we wondered about - here they are!
I’m sure there’s more to come from you, but so far, you’ve BLOWN MY MIND.
Thank you! 😃👍
Thanks very much!
Gorgeous. This makes me want to see Space 1999 revived even more.
Thanks!
I love how you show what’s it’s like living on the moon. The multiple uses of the modular components is very efficient. Outstanding work . Gerry Anderson would be proud 👌👍👽
Perfect, absolutely perfect. Every time I see an accurate extension of the S1 design work, I get that little thrill of watching the series for the first time back in 1975.
Thanks, and thanks for your kind words!
This is incredible. I just felt like I was 9 years old!
Dude... This is outstanding!
Great work. Specially I like the cockpit concept because it makes good use of the available space and could work on the Eagle CM.
I totally immersed myself as being there excellent work thankyou
Wow that Vehicle looks gorgeous. Fits perfectly in. Wish there was a model of it for display.
3D fabrication is a wonder to have these days, isn't it?
@@dwightwilliams5892 yes it is. Just need to find someone to print. My skill is not up there.
Fantastic! Just stumbled upon this while watching a movie and had to stop the movie to check this out. So great!!!
Outstanding work! The vehicles and machinery are already impressive, but when it came to the interior shots, my jaw dropped! I want a game, Mass Effect style in the Space:1999 universe!
Ted! Man! Simply perfect and love the subtle updates to the original interior design to subtly align them with 21st century technology. Really really nice work. Amazes me how 1970's designs still look spectacular and hold up beautifully in 2021!!! LOVE and appreciate your work.
Nice work.
It's a reasonable guess that the laser tanks were construction and/or surface exploration vehicles. Alpha would need ground vehicles with a longer range and heavier cargo capacity than just the moon buggies.
And the buggies would be more useful if they had trailer accessories. Such as we see here.
This is brilliantly realized - thank you for posting.
I loved your work of art Ted, do more please. I want to see more of your Space 1999 videos.
Amazing work, Sir! Well Done!
I am a huge fan of Space:1999 (If its remade the name should be retconned to "Moonbase Alpha"). This is totally accurate in terms of the tech shown on the series. Truly outstanding! Please do more on the surface exploration vehicles and their various mission profiles!
Love all the ideas, design work and animation. Things like the power pods and the interior of the vehicle with all the details.
Brilliant. There is so much scope to extend the world of space 1999 and its technology you imagination is unbound terrific work thank you !
Great stuff. Wish they would make a revival program or a full length movie.
Remarkable how you have caught the design ethos of the Gerry Anderson shows. The back end looks like the trucks that service crablogger or some of the trucks in Captain Scarlet.
Really good, well done. I just hope a remake of the TV series will happen one day.
Totally amazing video's real talent creating this quality . ive subscribed
That was Excellent and Outstanding!!!! I really enjoyed watching! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Awesome job! Your work realises the world building that the original series was unable to expand given its short run. Keenly looking forward to more of your work.
Thanks, will do!
Amazing work looks great
wonderful stuff! I love how you mixed modern screens with retro style buttons. "LAV" is a nice touch as well.
Thank you for noticing the details! It's hard not to mix modern tech with nods to the beautiful original.
Honestly, if Space 1999 ever gets a 2099 remake or whatever, it'll be a travesty if they don't use you for their art direction. I was a fan of the show growing up as a kid and for years I've had the idea of a 2099 remake in the back of my head. And whilst words, ideas and envisioning are my thing (I'm a produced screenwriter - via a circuitous career of Military Intelligence then Legal Profession) I don't have the artistic ability that you do. But to my mind, you have PERFECTLY encapsulated the aesthetic of the original series whilst at the same time giving it a modern - even practically believable and futuristic upgrade. Aside from the costumes and the serial Monster/Alien of the week stories, Series One of 99 has aged very well... (season two doesn't exist in my mind lol) and even your use of original music in all your videos shows how those themes could work in a modern version of the show. Space is vast, cold, unknown and potentially terrifying... and like Series One, all your videos have that same thoughtful, intelligent and haunting quality to them. Needless to say, I'm a big fan of your work. Here endeth the gushing! 🤣👍
I am loving your work!
Really a big fan of 1999. Love you work!
What an amazing video! This must have been a lot of work. Bravo!
This is absolutely first rate , congratulations to you all on your brilliant work , keeping the legend that is Space 1999 going along 👍
Love it, excellent work, I too am from the wonderful era where walking home from school, my fantasy life revolved around the Eagle, part shado part 1999, what a great way to grow up, a beautiful gift from the Anderson 's.
Thank you, and you nailed it - the Anderson's gave us joy and inspiration.
Very cool. Not so much as when I was a kid, but more as an adult, I imagine that there had to be more lunar based infrastructure to support the Alfa installation.
Absolutely f*****g brilliant!
Beautifully animated, very much gives a feel of desolate place, only recommendation I would make would be to have some small amount of dust kicked up by the tracks, then slowly settle back to the surface
Love the no sound in space theme
Nice levels of "re-use", the way an integrated approach to the engineering of surface and space vehicles would be done, based on modules, commonality, and interchangeability. Very good! More rapidly-falling dust!
Great job! I love it.
Your work is fast becoming my favourite program. Kudos to you sir!
Wow, thanks!
What a marvelous design and build! Better than anything the game _Space Engineers_ can do for sure!
Thanks again!
Wow, very impressive. The music of Space: 1999 is so mournful.
Thanks! Yes, a good deal of Barry Gray's music for the series is mournful. It would be interesting to know what his brief was for composing the music, or if he had been composing some of this for the ill fated UFO II. It's still lovely music.
@@romeo3928 The only joyful music I recall at length s in the episode The Last Sunset as they begin orbit around planet Ariel and the first sunrise and rain.
It is lovely music! Space: 1999 is currently on the IFC channel and it's a joy to watch after all these years.
Amazing stuff, your next project should be to work with Big Finish on the new Space 1999 audios.
Thanks!
Fantastic work Ted, I love it. Could happily watch a few hours of this, more!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice. I like how you stay on point with their Perceived Tech Future. I like to design using Off-The -Shelf tech from 30 years in the realistic future. Gravity is the biggest design problem.
BEAUTIFUL!
Viewers who don't know Space 1999 might think that this was a proposal for ice mining operations as part of the Artemis program, perhaps mid-decade - but we know better! ;-)
The Artemis offices might want to get in touch about this.
You guys are incredible! The rocks falling at low lunar gravity, the shadows on the pipes, such detail...how can know more about this project and the work that you do?
Thanks! For years, in my spare time, I've been building cad models of all of the Space:1999 world in Autocad and 3ds Max, and rendering the animations in Max.
Absolutely awesome! Very well done.
This makes sense. You would want to be as modular as possible and have the cockpit with this kind ability would cut down on costs and construction time.
SWEET!!!!
What a wonderful and compelling three minutes! "Fan fiction" usually means stories told in that universe, but getting to quietly see a part of Alpha we've never seen in a new Eagle-inspired land vehicle, and all of it rendered so faithfully to the original design of the show, was SO much more fascinating to me! Thank you for your hundreds of hours of work!
Thanks very much for your kind words! Glad you liked it!
I need to see more!!! It is so great!!!
Absolutely gorgeous work!
Absolutely fantastic!
Used to live this design as a kid but, as an adult, i drove tracked vehicles for a living and man did i quickly learn that tracks are a pain in the ass. NO TRACKS ON THE MOON!!
Amazing! Thanks for that!
Brilliant design. Bold in concept!
Isn't that a line from Lost in Space? :) Thanks!
@@romeo3928 a version thereof ... 😀
Bravo! Beautifully done!!
Love it. This animation perfectly evokes the sense of wonder and melancholy of the show. It's fun to see people fill in the little side stories so logically. Well done. Is this created in Unreal?
"Wonder and melancholy..." Perfect phrasing for the first season's aesthetic!
Thanks! I build my models in both Autocad and 3ds Max, and rendering the animations in Max.
Beautifully Done! THANK YOU!!!
Great work!
Very well Done this is Lovely Very nice Lighting and the Animation of the Vehicle is Very smooth.
Thanks - it's fun to make these and learn more about the software.
Perfect work again. i LOVE it. That took you some hours :) Love you videos.
This is incredible work! Subscribed.
Awesome work!
Fantastic job!
Merci pour cette vidéo exceptionnelle! Bravo pour la prouesse artistique. Vous avez su recréer l'univers de la série, et c'est avec un réel plaisir que le fan que je suis s'est promené dans ce monde créé par Brian Johnson il y a 45 ans... Et qui reste toujours une vision de l'avenir! Encore bravo pour cette performance, Ted.
Merci, merci pour vos mots gentil!
@@romeo3928 De rien! J'adore votre travail qui réinvente l'univers de la série... Je vais tenter un jeu de mots en Anglais: Now, this vehicule is a real lunar "Tank" ;-)
Very nice design, my only nitpick is that the space suits should be inside the cabin, rather than in the airlock. This way if they need to get into the suits, there is more room for them to get dressed and doesn't prevent use of the airlock in the meantime
It looks fantastic!
Thanks!
Awesome job!
This is a beautiful video. It is conspicuously faithful to the Space:1999 series, to a fault. I always found the Monnbase Alpha space tank design flawed. If it were to be based loosely off the Eagle spacecraft design, the cockpit design of both vehicles, particularly the nosecone/command module design, would have to be altered to increase visibility for the operators/pilots. Instead of the view ports being recessed, they would have to be flush with the hull or nearly so. And both the space tank and the Eagles would need to have the cockpits situated inside of all four active viewports so the crew could see more. This would be a major departure from the depicted Space: 1999 design.
So cool!
Fabulous!!...
Loved the TV series. Eagle space craft are amazing. However, capsule seems a bit out of place for a tank. That's where I thought Derek Meddings kind of messed up with that design..
You'd probably want more viewing area for a surface vehicle. At least a side window. Tracks have so many exposed hinges to lunar dust. I understand why NASA went with the Apollo Lunar Rover, design- the wheels provide far less exposed parts, just the axle hubs. You do fantastic work and give so much new life to Space:1999. !! Just subscribed.
Dude! Awesome animation!
Thanks!
Mad props- instant subscribe!
Great modeling
Very well done
Thanks!
Gorgeous.
So beautiful...
great ship design
Looks cool.
Absolutly fantastic!!! ❤
Bravo c'est superbement bien réalisé.
amazing work.....
Wow. How about a feature film cinema release.
Superb.
Where is the C.B. Radio at? Every trucker has to have his ears on.
Hanno fatto il remake di tutto meno che di questa grande serie e questo video dimostra le potenzialità e la possibilità. Mah! Grazie a tutti quelli che tengono ancora in vita la memoria di space 1999, tanx.
Very nicely done. Of course, the lack of crew can only mean one thing... this vehicle is in the control of the Mysterons!
Seriously, nice work all round. If only CGI was able to improve the scenery chewing of some of the original actors 😆
This vehicle is encapsulating.
Bravo. Good stuff
Very nice.
Genius! Thanks!
Wonderful
I like the continuity of design. I've always had a problem with the giant middle separator blocking half the field of view, but assuming either a co-pilot or monitors compensate, it's a really aesthetically engaging concept.
So cool. I wish this were reality.
