Lost In Space: The Launch of The Jupiter 2 !

- Part 1. A re-imagining of the first automated test flight of the Jupiter 2 from the original 1965 TV show "Lost in Space."
Set in the year 2097 at the Alpha Control Shipyards on Jupiter's moon, Callisto. The ship's systems are tested during a shakedown flight before the spacecraft is sent to Earth to pick up the Robinson Family a week later. The Jupiter 2 is the first in a series of ships designed to take families from Earth to the new colony planet in orbit around Alpha Centauri.
This video shows the launch, attainment of escape velocity from Callisto, the deployment of the ship's sensors and engagement of the navigational systems. Part 2 will take a look at the ship's passenger compartment and feature the most famous crew member, Robot B9.
All models, animation, original texture mapping & editing by me. Sound FX are modified from the show. Royalty-free music from AudioMicro, since FOX hates any use of their own music, even if it's fair use.... All models created entirely with 3ds MAX. Compiled with AfterEffects & Audacity. EDIT: UA-cam CLAIMS THE MUSIC IS "TEXTURE" BY HEXAGRAM. THAT IS NOT TRUE. The tracks are named "Taklamakan" and "Arctic Voices." IT IS ROYALTY-FREE MUSIC from AUDIO-MICRO.
Recognition must be given to Art Creber and Robert Kinoshita, the original designers of the Jupiter 2 and the Robot, and many of the props in the show. A sincere thank you for giving us a means by which our imaginations can run free.
I’ve always loved the series, even though my mother wouldn’t let me stay up to watch it. I had to wait until it was in syndication in the 70’s, and I was a bit older. It was always my guilty pleasure that I kept to myself since everyone I knew loved Star Trek. I always wanted to be Will Robinson and have all his adventures. Many years later when I was in my early 20’s, I was working at a high end restaurant in the mid west. My employer told me one day his brother in law was coming into town, and would be coming in for dinner that night. I asked what he was in town for, and was told “some kind of convention or something”. “He was an actor when he was a child, you might have heard of him. He was on “Lost in Space”. I thought I was going to pass out. I asked “do you mean Billy Mumy?”, “yes, but he goes by Bill now”. I couldn’t believe it. After years of wanting to be this character, I was going to meet him. I not only met him, but got to know him somewhat. He was always charming, polite, and from then on, whenever he was in town, would ask for me when visiting the restaurant. It was a thrill to know him for the few years I was working for his brother in law. He was always very thoughtful, and kind to me. It’s one of the funnier things that happened in my life, and I’ll always pinch myself over it.
That is like the most kick ass Jupiter 2 that I have ever seen.
I'm 60 and I remember this as a 5 year old. This and Jonny Quest
😀
Likewise
And Scooby Doo
I'm 34 and I also saw Lost in Space as a kid. My uncle taped them from the Sci-Fi channel back in the 90's. Almost the entire series on blank VHS tapes. I enjoyed those so much as a kid. I still love Lost in Space.
And as a thought, the sound of the J2 fusion engine, still gives me chills just as it did in 1964. with out a doubt the most recognisable sound effect of all time.
My favorite spaceship and those sound effects are amazing to this day . Love everything about the J2 and all the music went so well with show
The TARDIS Doctor Who's Ship is a lot more recognizable over the Jupiter 2's engine too me. When It comes to sound effects.
Lets take off
Can't wait midnight tonight we fly losty on at that time nice
I want that ship lol ha he
Of all the science fiction space programs the sound effects of lost in space to my opinion is the best
Yes, Lost in Space ranks as one of the most remarkable TV shows of the 1960's.
@@Haselius00 the netflix lost in space is nothing like the original Lost in space.
This is mesmerising to anyone who is old enough to remember it on B&W TV's.. You have done a fantastic job!
I was a superfan in the mid sixties and I am still one in late 2019s I guess I'll always be a super fan,always!!!!!!!,Long live LOST IN SPACE!!!!!!!!!!
I would just like to say thanks to everyone who has enjoyed this video. It has now reached over 400,000 views. It is a testament to the enduring charm of the original TV show and the passion of the fans. I hope I've captured just a little bit of the fantastic design sensibilities of Robert Kinoshita (the designer of the Jupiter 2 and the mighty c57D from Forbidden Planet) I haven't posted new work in a while but there is more to come! :)
Still incredible work. Might be interesting to use NASA images and update the colors of Jupiter and its moons. Hard to believe politics has kept this show from being rebooted until Netflix's recent announcement. Watch them screw it up like JJ did to Trek. The proposed fan web series would have been more interesting.
How do they generate those incredible sound effects?!?
Hi Robert designed both robots from FB and LOS but I can't find any record that he designed the C57D although he did help redesign the J2 from a single to double deck. Do you have a link to any site which says he designed the C57D - Wiki has no details - thanks
Haselius00 your work is excellent
AWESOME being a J2 fan I wish they would have done something like this for the Netflix reboot, !!!!!
Hi Everyone! I'm frankly astonished that this little video now has more than a half-million views. I created it 10 years ago on a Lenovo laptop, using 3ds MAX as the modeling program, Photoshop to create all the texture maps, Audacity to edit the royalty-free music, and AfterEffects to assemble the animation clips into the final movie. Sincere thanks to everyone who has commented! There really is more to come. I have completed a vastly more detailed 3d model of the entire ship, including the entire lower deck, right down to every button and light. Many still images of this model can be seen at the Lost in Space forum on Proboards.com, and also at Scifi-Meshes.com (where a complete history of the model-making progress is documented in the thread "A New Jupiter 2 that makes sense").
Quality never goes out of style. This is a better reimagining than the latest incarnation. It's too bad they wouldn't let fans do a series using these marvelous effects. Thanks for what you have been doing. Can't wait to see the upgrades.
@@yaddamop Thank you yaddamop!
March, 2020 now .... I was 8-yrs old when the LIS pilot first premiered. This is awesome! Thank you!
Would I have been most curious about unless for some reason I have missed a posting is...
What items were used to make the engine sounds for the Jupiter 2?
Everything from the Lift-Off sequence to the sound of the atomic motors is incredible!
Still trying to figure out how they made those sounds. Can you share please?
Thanks and look forward to more wonderful creations! Job well done!!
what is the sound effect the engine makes during take off and landing?
i've said it before and i'll say it a million times..."thank you for making the JUPITER2 the bad-ass she deserves to be!!!"
...and no Dr. Smith to ruin it just like how it was ruined in the tv show.
@@billaccord717
Nonsense you bubble-headed boobie, anyone can fly this contraption. Ah yes, it's as simple as pushing this button over here.... Click...AAAHHHH!!!!
LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO NOW YOU TIN PLATED DUNCE!!!! I'LL CORRECT IT WITH THIS BUTTON OVER HERE!!!.... CLICK....AAAHHHH!!!
HELP ME, PLEASE!!!!
AAAHHHH!!!
GET OUT OF MY WAY YOU TRAITOROUS JUNK PILE!!!
This is very cool! The abysmal "Lost in Space" feature film made several years ago should've had a Jupiter 2 launch sequence very similar to this. It would've made the film a little more bearable.
I agree. The movie was abysmal. They could have used the real Jupiter 2 and made it more realistic. By “realistic” in referring to the original series type ship. Not realistic in today’s style of movie rocket ships which are in my opinion ugly and too way out.
@@michaelsmith697 I don't think that the Jupiter 2 in any form could be considered... "realistic" although the one on Netflix comes the closest.... until it acquired magic alien tech....or the magic alien tech acquired it.
The Juniper 2 on Netflix Series was based on the Juniper 2 in 1998 film
OMG! My first fave show as a kid. This is bloody awesome. I love how you've incorporated the sounds from the original series. Felt like I was 5 years old again. Thank you.
Wow, I remember watching the first episode on the back porch on my B&W 16 inch TV (long before Reruns) and the depicted Jupiter 2 launch was in 1997, a mere 32 years into the future and I thought to myself, WOW, I am going to live long enough to actually see this happen for real. Well we all know how that worked out and I am still waiting for the flying cars from the Jetsons cartoons too. Thanks for posting this clip
This is a masterpiece! I’ve watched it so many times. The sound is just incredible. As a kid, Lost in Space was my all time favourite sci fi shows, and the Jupiter 2 is truly iconic. You’ve done her proud. Thanks.
Thanks Tirana! I've been very busy these last 10 years but more is on the way :)
I grew up with the Robinsons, Robot, and Dr. Smith. This brought shivers of nostalgia. How . . . utterly. . . beautiful.
that was frigging spectacular!! I loved that ship and always wanted to be on it growing up
As a die hard LIS fan I tend to watch just about any related video posted on youtube. This was far and away the best I've seen. Well done. Loved the music too. Nice job.
Me too!!!! Love Irwin Allen shows!!!
This is what a remake of the Lost in Space should look like. Did not care for the 21st century version which injected too much current tech and redesign.
Even the one with William Hurt was not spectacular
Nice video
I find the Jupiter 2 to be a ship that never quite gets old. The design is still futuristic enough to hold its own today.
It is indeed a classic look/design.
When I was a kid, I used to build the Jupiter 2 out of pie tins and aluminim foil. Im thinking about doing that again!!
Oh hell yeah. Bring back the series with the original 60’s ship and today’s special effect
Absolutely fantastic! A real love-letter to the iconic original design. Also, extremely clever! Great little twists and insights, like how the base shuttles use versions of the same cylindrical lower drives, and the way the navigation table reaches to the top dome. Well done!
I have viewed your Amazing videos many times and want to thank you. I hope you have gotten through this difficult period and hope to see more of your fantastic work. Thanks again.
Thanks Ed! I am well. I haven't had much time in the last 5 years to devote to my Jupiter 2 hobby. But there is more to come!
this type of re-imaging should've been used in the motion picture version.
I’m 61, grew up with Lost In Space, Jupiter 2 was my favorite, I have the series on dvd, who doesn’t that liked it. My favorite tv series when I was a kid, brings back great memories when I see this 🙂👍🏻
Back when Dr Smith was constantly trying to molest Wil-yum?
i have it on dvd too
The Jupiter 2 had awesome sound effects. Way ahead of its time.
its the building air conditioner, sped up and revirbed. if you listen to your house or your work air conditioning, you will hear it slowly resonate.
'

NIIIIIIIIIICE... Just the sort of perfect launch it would've been, if Dr. Smith hadn't sabotaged the mission... Very groovy vibe when the Jupiter clears Earth's atmosphere...
Great job, and a favorite now.
Actually it's clearing Callisto which doesn't have an atmosphere.
I believe the addition of the Dr Smith character was to provide viable interest in competition with shows like Mary Tyler Moore and the Jeffersons. Comedy was much easier to sell then was complicated sci-fi.
This is an accountable conception of what LIS should have been; it was supposed to be a space adventure; the writers ruined its purpose after the first year; but we still love it… always.
I could watch this a million times. Never gets old.
Wow, thanks Alan!! As I've said many times in these comments, I made this on a little laptop and truly had no idea that there were so many people that resonated with it. I just made it because I loved the show as a kid and wanted to create something that was reminiscent of the original series. The Jupiter 2 rocks! :)
@@Haselius00, I have watched it a million times THANKS
Wow, stunning. Excellent mix of music, SFX, and visual design. The liftoff sequence is the bomb.
Missing this show so much grew up watching every night
i am a die hard ''lost in space'' fan and this animation sequence is b r e a t h t a k i n g .....peace.
This is AWESOME! How have I not seen this until now? Thank you for this amazing production!
Thanks Joe! I appreciate it. As I have said before, this was just a little project I put together on an old laptop over 10 years ago. Never really expected it to make much of a splash. But I'm happy that there are many people still around that loved the original series!
I can't agree more..the opening shot of Jupiter and it's moons, and the epic music, and the space station buzzing with activity. The feeling you get is nothing short of pure awe and amazement. It's a whole new twist, and the addition of the original sound FX from the TV show are the icing on an already great cake! This is truly georgeous, anad again, thank you, Haseilius, Alpha Control would be proud of you,
I was 12 years old, and am 70 years old now, and I still love that show. To bad they allowed Dr. Smith to louse it up.
The creativity that went into these computer graphics is astounding! I remember how enthralled I was as eight year old back in 1965 seeing the captivating special effects of the time.
I did a quick math after seeing the future date October 16, 1997 and thought to myself; "wow, I'll be a old man of 40 years old by then"
This magnificent and highly detailed re-imagined Jupiter 2 launch reconnected with my childhood chills and thrills from long ago.
Thanks Michael! I feel the same way :).
At this very instance, I'm watching the piolet episode of Lost in space. Angela cartwright is pretty as a pin. But, I'm just excited, and the irony is being excited by an episode more than 50 years old! It's really something that one can be still be inspired after half a century.
Every single time I see this seems like the first.What you do is more than a skill. An exemplary talent to be admired.
Well Done...
Every now and then I just rewatch this video. This is what the Jupiter 2 should have looked like in the Netflix series.
Love the Jupiter 2!! The sound of the fusion core makes on take off is music to my ears
that was excellent - shame they didnt use the SAME design for the movie remake
Thank you. I truly enjoyed it. Keep the good work👐.
For a time period of 1965 the spect effects were amazing!
Thanks Jamie. You can find the sound file over at the Yahoo group "Lost in Space Props." Go to the "Files" section and scroll way down to "J2Liftoff2.mp3."
Your talent is amazing! May I know how old you are and what type of work you do?
Thanks M! When I did this video I was a freelance artist. I am now employed by a large corporation and do 3D/CGI/VFX work for a living.
Well, that was pretty cool! Can't help but love that whole 60's sci-fi technology!
The CGI is fantastic and the music score perfect. A job well done. I do miss the old Jupiter.
Did you notice the Star Fleet like shuttle craft moving throughout the launch complex. BOO!!
Dear Haselius00:
I turn 64 in July, 2021. And, l first saw Irwin Allen's "Lost in Space," all three seasons, all those decades ago, as a young boy. However, this is the first time l have viewed and heard the actual takeoff noise, and engine? emissions of the Jupiter 2 in your presentation.
Man, what a beautiful craft i.e., disc, in all its glory. Did Irwin Allen know what he created with Lost in Space? Personally, l feel the takeoff noise from its propulsion engine(s)? should have been markably louder. And this includes it's emissions, if any too.
For example a gross loaded F-111 at takeoff power: max.mil.power, will give you an idea of "Loud noise." I expect the same from the Jupiter 2. No less.
What a gal. Keep her flying.
Lastly, about 11 yeàrs ( 2009/2010 ) ago, l bought my young nephew, Joshua, my brother's younger son, he was about 7, a DVD boxed set of all three seasons of "Lost in Space." Man. And, my parting words to Joshua were: this TV Space Show will send you to the stars. Enjoy.
The music to the opening credits of Season 3, in my biased, humble opinion, blast the opening theme credits of Season 1 and 2 out of this galaxy! Further than Alpha Centauri could be.
This begs the question:"Why was'nt a movie made of it. I refer only to the 1960's TV show ( Not this recent jump start, retread of a movie ).
Thank you.
End.
.
There is a movie. It sucks
Yes I agree with the sound of the atomic engine. COOL!!!!!!! If all the spacecraft I’ve seen in tv, the Jupiter 2 STILL ROCKS above the rest 👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁
Feels like I'm enjoying 1965, 1999, 2023, and some hundred years into the future - all in the same moment.
The new TV LIS was a welcomed technical improvement from the original - but it still terribly missed the main attraction of the original: A shared cozy, exciting and wanderlust interstellar 'Winnebago'-ride with family and friends through the Universe! ... Instead, the new show is too often an annoying PC-Lecture - with none of the retro-charm of the original. ... And yes, the new Jupiter 2 is UGLY!; no where as cool as the original!
Nice, the deployment of devices and Nav. System start up gave the launch a realistic feel to the ship.
Instead of beautiful astrophysics, the intrigue of interstellar travel, and the wonder and awe of science, technology and the cosmos ... people go to movie theaters because they want camp and >boom, bang, pow.<
So sad that people prefer kiddy-fy rather than real sci-fi.
The kind of stuff that killed the original 'Lost in Space' TV show.
Ok ... THAT was pretty cool 😎!!
Bon Voyage, Jupiter II. Warren Oates awaits you. As do endless creepy monsters.
to: alexander demay: iirc you are thinking of deutTERium (an unstable isotope of hydrogen) afaik deuTROnium is a non existent element invented by the show's writers (AKA unobtanium) i think deutronium was supposed to be a uranium-like or plutonium-like fissionable material that would somehow be used in the ship's reactor to generate some kind of "Propulsion field" somewhat similar to star trek's warp drive.
yup, Anti Gravity Drive..
Bravo, that was well done, I was thinking to myself, I can’t remember this in the original series. 👍👍👍
That is beautiful. I love the window covers, hatches and scanners, readouts onscreen.. all that. Very smooth and clean.
I remember because "Lost in Space " was on Wednesday night and my mom was a big fan so I always missed the first part of "Batman ". I still went and saw the movie w/bill hurt and Matt le blanc. Gary oldman is "Dr.Smith" . I also watched the new show, but haven't seen it all
As of 2022 in the US, many Americans would love to be on the Jupiter these days!
I'm one of them. ;)
I just watched this it was awesome and gave me chills. Excellent work
This is still cool to watch 12 years later. Excellent work. 👍
The remake series of "Lost in Space" should have learnt how the series could have been better - I did not like the remake series at all. Even if they digitized the characters - it would have been better in my opinion..
Would have been better if Netflix's reboot of the show stuck closely to the original design of J2 as seen here!
I agree. It's a shell of the original. They should have named it something else.
I've said this before about the reboot design, if you look at it directly at any angle from above, it resembles a toilet seat with lid down. That is terrible. It's like, I have to go to the Jupiter 2 now.
Wow, I forgot it was on Netflix, I guess after three episodes I completely lost interest in it and moved on
@@TimothyONeill_84. Me as well and I couldn't figure out how Penny could be black even though all the rest of the family was white... Unless this was explained in later episodes cause really I gave up after 3..!
The Netflix J2 is just as bad as the movie version J2. Horrible!!!
I always wondered if Jupiter 1 crashed. Was there a Jupiter 3? Things like this keep me up at night
Wow, so well done! I dreamed of seeing something like this as a child 50 years ago when the show was on.
Nicely done! Loved that series. The audio f/x help too - love that singing star drive!
Fantastic! Your artwork and animation are amazing. Love the equipment interpretations and ships integration. I'm geeking out like a kid.
Thank you for this. 😆🖖
This is incredible! Ive been admiring your work in the other shorts, but this imagininative new relaunch beginning is the cream on the cake, I think the music is perfect myself, it does have a other worldly feel to it, and the build up in the music times well with youre edit, congratulations!
Too bad the web series didn't take off, digging the redesign of the Jupiter 2, I've seen photos of the layout along with some of your other videos on her and this version is better and a lot more logical than her predecessor.
Thanks Gary!
I must of watched this 20 times already nothing like those Jupiter 2 engines
This really was brilliant... A great Job. I never knew the Guidance system was part of the top bubble...lol...It works seemlessly and makes so MUCH sense!!!! I'm AWED!!!
Wonderful job! Haha Excellent! I will watch it again.
I was a young boy back in the 60's when this classic TV series came out. Well done! More please?
3:59 The gyro navigation system always befuddled me.
I would love to see a updated version of this in 1080p.
Me too. :) I may revisit this modest video. I did this on a little Lenovo laptop with limited computing power, so I had to restrict it to 640 x 480. I now have a lot more power available, so we'll see!
How could anyone give it a thumbs down to me what is it you're not liking
I like the high tech twirly thingy
Brilliant piece of work! I didn't mind not having the original music in this and rather enjoyed the music you did use. Some of it reminds me of the music that was used in the unaired pilot (which was grabbed from 'The Day The Earth Stood Still'). The texturing and attention to detail is superb! It still retains the flavor of the old show, but is brought up to the present. Can't wait to see more!
Amazing...Great job!
Of course, we are still explaining gravity
it weighs heavily on our conscience
This is absolutely AMAZING! what you have done with the Jupiter 2! Your` virtual recreations are EXACT and true to the essence of this supreme design! The lower deck virtual tour is my dream come true! It is precise to every detail! I always wanted to "get down there" and really see it up close! The elevator test? Now that is my favorite part of the whole ship! THAT I REALLY LOVE! I could spend hours going up and down on that elevator!
Wow..truly amazing work..thank you!!
Brilliant, love the sound effects
very nice work indeed! big fan of the show! just wish they would have engineered a round enclosure in the middle of the lower deck to house the Rocket Engines and thrusters! would have been more of a complete format! would have been directly below the center console on the upper deck! just a thought!
Awesome!
I chuckle at the radiation hazard sign since Callisto being deep inside Jupiter's Van Allen belt is itself a major radiation hazard. ;)
Actually, according to a video about Callisto, it is the most hospitable of Jupiter's moons as it has the largest orbit of all four Galilean satellites, placing it outside of Jupiter's radiation belts. Io, Europa, and Ganymede have much higher radiation. So Callisto really is the most viable moon to establish a settlement in the vicinity of Jupiter.
@@Inflec On the rear side of Jupiter, it's magnetosphere is blown all the way out to Saturn's orbit. So it might not be that safe on the night side. Doesn't take away from the fact that the video is one heck of an execution.
Once again, thanks to everyone for the comments! I've been dragging my feet on Part 2 of this video :(
The show started off good, then took a nose dive.
Then the fumbling fingers of Dr
Smith mess things up.
Just love the Jupiter 2 and I love the chariot
Absolutely brilliant
God bless the Jupiter 2 and Lost in Space!
Wow, that was amazing!
Absolutely and incredibly enjoyable!! Excellent 🏆
Thank you Michael! I promise, more to come :).
Wonderful work
I Love to hear the engines when the spaceship lifts off.
Great Job! If was possible travel into a time tunnel, and return to 1966 (47 years ago) with current technology this could be how the Jupter II should be launched and the whole serie could be more realistic, it was so naive. I am imaging how cinema will be 47 years in the future...unfortunately I won't be here to see....
Great Vid ! Thank you for posting it....
Awesome ... grew up with this in 1966 sitting by a floor heater watching with family on a Black and White RCA tv on legs. That was a real America livng life stress free and great TV and movies like Fantastic Voyage. Zachary Smith was just as diabolical as Donald Pleasance saboteur in that flick.
did the other kids in your one room schoolhouse like it?
In the background Jupiter 3 , 4 and 5
i so love the sound of the 3 engines energizing.
❤❤❤❤❤love this video Love the Jupiter 2
