SPACE:1999 Embarkation

- This Space:1999 concept video sets the Eagle launch pads at a safe distance from the Alpha Base buildings, and replaces the extending boarding tube / "jetway" with the idea that a special Travel Tube car that is fitted with a docking ring wheels right up to the Eagle. The series' boarding tube didn't show any signs that it could articulate should the Eagle not land precisely in the center of the pad. Also, this concept better matches the interior scenes from the series where the Travel Tube interior is shown about 8' from the Eagle interior. And for those that would say the Travel Tube car travels down to the end of the board tube - it would not fit in the model work that was shown.
Though I love the Anderson's work, I did not like spacecraft launching or landing next to or into buildings. I would not want rocket thrust pounding on my roof or my walls! - Фільми й анімація
Grew up with space 1999. It's great to see more good stuff
Indeed, it basically took all the realistic elements and made the video like an episode with realistic stuff... The eagle is very close to the original but actually "possible"
More than the Millennium Falcon or the Enterprise-D, even more than an actual Space Shuttle, I've always dreamt of flying an Eagle Lander. This was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for rendering something I can forever picture in my head.
Totally agree, the Eagle is totally iconic, and very much part of my childhood too, season 1, season 2.... Not so much.
Back then I thought this would be a real thing by now.
Well it would actually work.
@@aldunlop4622 Yeah, it's a well thought out design, you can't tell me NASA can't build something like it.

I like the idea of being able to land on final approach , horizontally as well. Just like a normal air plane.
Rather than both retro breaking and landing , tail side down . Like traditional rockets and even Space x , are still planning on doing .
I remember waking up on that Christmas morning and finding a Space 1999 Eagle One under the tree. I played with that ship nonstop even before I had ever seen my first episode. I did know there was a show until I happened upon it one Saturday on TV. Oh, that eagle was my most favorite toy.
These videos surpass my imagination as a child & adult. Truly appreciate the hard work and great detail you put into your content. And the music score, takes me back - 6 years old all over again.
That has to be the most creative airlock system Iv ever seen, absolutely fantastic
Beautifully done! I can tell this was a work of love. Made me nostalgic for the show. 👍
Gorgeous animation and very faithful to the world we fell in love with all those years ago, which still looks futuristic today.
Aside from the main engines firing and cutting off prior to relying immediately on the manoeuvring thrusters, everything about this is perfect, the music is the cherry on top 😍
The Eagle craft was such an iconic spaceship! Superbly done!
When I was child I was amazed with Space 1999 Eagle design. To this day I still believe in the ingenuity and incredible design of the Eagles spacecraft. Thank you you for your passion to show everyone why this show had so much vision.
Nicely done! Took me a sec to realize it wasn't the actual show. lol
Great video! I love the opening shot, both because it's rare for braking maneuvers to be shown, and because I love the 180 degree rotation of the camera as the Eagle flips over.
Very coherent from an engineering point of view. The great point here, is that, compared to the "jetway" of the series, you are limiting the pressurized flexible points to the absolute minimum: just the door lock and nothing else. It's a huge plus for safety, because those points are complex and prone to critical failure due to be mechanical components submitted to high mechanical stress (pressurization plus motion).
You can a lot of thought went into the design, it’s actually feasible that a craft like this could work, to deliver cargo containers like we use on Earth. It’s also multifunctional, so it has a pressurised section for crew, but could also either have a pressurised section in the main body, or deliver habitable sections ready to be added to an existing settlement. Just leave it leave there and fly the “frame” back for the next load.
The physics of the video could stand a little tweaking, though. Specifically the exhaust plumes. Get rid of the billowing. It was unavoidable in the show because Brian Johnson had to film his model effects here in Earth's atmosphere. In a 3D rendering, they can do it realistically. Rocket exhaust is basically invisible in space and if you did want to make it visible, it wouldn't have any turbulence in it. See film of the Apollo interstage separations. Even Babylon 5 did it right with brief laminar puffs from reaction control thrusters. Likewise, you wouldn't get clouds floating away as it came down for landing. See the film of the Apollo lunar module ascent stage lifting off. ua-cam.com/video/9HQfauGJaTs/v-deo.html
I would take issue with the doors on that travel pod. Doors are tricky; they are a large hull penetration and require seals. So why would it dock to the station using a different door than it docked with the Eagle?
Eagles are still the most believable lunar base and space vehicles dreamed up by a franchise or movie. The same vehicle can be a transport, freighter or sky crane with just changing out the inert modules, but keeping the same launch/flight systems.
When they went down to planets with atmosphere and long distances the illusion died....but around the Moon...top notch modeling.
Excellent Video, The Eagle has always been my favorite space ship of all time,
Having grown up watching Space 1999,
I always dreamed of being an Eagle Pilot.
That was fantastic. I saw the original series on tv when it first aired. Around 1977 K&B Toys had a clearance sale of eagle kits, $1.50 each. My mom gave me 20 bucks and I got a bunch of them. Kit bashed them to death and some burned, but those shapes are burned into my memory. Also the comlocks, thanks!
Fantastic modeling and animation!! So much great storytelling is yet to come. Thank you Mr. Rivers!
Fantastic. I have all the collection of DVD's and a model of an Eagle . Congratulations Ted Rivers.
I always loved the eagle shuttles in this show. The designers put some real thought into those and made them look and feel very much like a plausible space craft with a modular design.
Now THIS is what I'm talking about. Great tribute video to one of my all-time favorite series. Thank you for posting this. I really enjoyed it.
Loved this as a kid
Very cool animation series!
cgi
growing up everyone just knew we would be at this level of space exploration by 1999 but never happened Eagle looks so Darn practical
Such a realistic vision of thr near future inter system travel.
This is awesome! The inside of the embarkation tube kinda reminds me of being in a subway car with similar seating and complete with a station stops map. Brilliant!
Such a great vehicle. The workhorse of Moonbase Alpha. Love the overall aesthetic of the show.
Interesting, and a fun reminder of my youth!
1999 is still one of my favorite SciFi memories and for good reason.
This little clip is very accurate but the Eagle ship looks a little too long, and I don't recall the Travel Tube cars being detachable....but still great fun!
I appreciate the efforts of the artist.
The Eagle has always been the most realistic and practical of all SciFi spaceships.
That was so awesome I remember the show Space 1999 it was one of my favorites I did get the Eagle Lander for Christmas damn I wish I still had it but thx for the video it bought back many memories.
Nice touch on the running lights!
That was a thing that would have been nice to have on the series itself.
Superbly done !!
Stunning! I thought I was watching an outtake from the show...
Very, very well done!
I love your video Ted it's great to watch.
Damn sure is!!!!
Thanks a million for the ride, it was amazing 🤩 I really think the design of the interiors would be nice for a real moon base. Still looks futuristic and believable today.
Pamiętam jak dziś. W Polsce leciał ten serial w latach 80 w sobotę o 11.15. I remember like today. In Poland, this series flew in the 80s on Saturday at 11.15.
Incredible! Having the Eagle flip its axis is brilliant. The embarkation pod is brilliant. More! More!
one of my most favorite shows growing up...drew picture after picture of the eagles.. this is so nicely done...ty!
Either Moonbase Alpha is expanding the presence on the moon 🌙 or a slightly different evolution of the technology.
The new rendition of the Eagle is exceptional 😊!!! Always thought that the passenger pod needed better windows.
A job well done 👏...!!!
Nice to see someone paying attention to this classic. Nice job!
Lovely, brought me back! What a labour of love ❤
Great attention to details on the mechanics, especially on the pod doors.
Beautiful.
Well done, what beautiful memories I have relived...
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Wow
I watched this show when it was broadcasted.
Damn, just gave my age away!
Incredible! I can’t get enough of your videos.
Reminds me of Dulles Airport, with those huge diesel trams!
I remember watching that show when I was a kid. It looked so promising, and I was looking forward to seeing an actual Moon Base. Boy, are we behind schedule...
This is by far my favourite UA-cam series. (Followed by Andrew Cotter’s Labrador retrievers.) Mr. Jamie Anderson, please reboot the show and retain this gentleman as a visual consultant.
Amazing job. Your video has the feel of the tv show, excellent! I fear that someone in Hollywood might see this and get the idea to remake Space 1999, but "re-imagined" to fit current tastes. After watching Picard and what they did to Star Wars, that would be a nightmare.
To be fair, Space 1999 needs a lot of reimagination. It was ridiculously too advanced for it's time frame. Although the same can just as easily be said for 2001: A Space Oddessy or Blade Runner.
Setting science fiction technology that's realistically more than a century beyond current levels just a decade or two in the future is a common trope unfortunately.
Not to mention a nuclear explosion causing the moon to leave the earth's orbit and then accelerate at hyper light speeds and then again conveniently slow down for an encounter with a surprisingly humanoid species along the way and then apparently leap into hyper light speed directly afterwards to speed on for the next weeks adventure where it will apparently slow down again. Daft as a brush.
If reimagined it probably should be called Space 2099 which should realistically give real world engineering time to catch up with the fiction and integrate the miniaturised computing and information technology we have developed since nobody writing science fiction 40 or 50 years ago ever dreamed of. Maybe the moon should be caught in some huge warp field that causes it to reappear for a set length of time at random new solar systems??? Actually having the base on a large asteroid manoeuvred into Earth's orbit would be not a bad idea. It just wouldn't be the moon.
Anyway, 1999 looked great for the mid 70's but absolutely it didn't even work in it's own fantasy reality. Although ignoring the nonsense, I'd still watch it again.
I would definitely watch an Expanse or Battlestar Galactica 2004 style reimagining.
You're way behind the times. They don't need to be inspired by this. A couple of minor studios including the one that made the V remake proposed a Space: 2099 show way back around 2011, but were never able to get the production fully funded.
This show was called "Mondbasis Alpha 1" in Germany and I saw it as a kid. Absolute fan of this show and now after nearly 50 years we are finally coming closer to that vision of a permanent Moon station with the upcoming Starship launch. Will be interesting to see what vehicles are being constructed to fly and drive on the Moon, but maybe some ship like an Eagle is among them.
I hope the show is an inspiration to Lunar designers!
Great scifi series. I had an Eagle toy as a kid and loved it.
Love it. Beautiful work. A remake of the series would be amazing
Great foundation work to replicate the Eagle Transporter & the Spaceport Terminals >>> Bravo Zulu ... 🌏💜🕊
This was a great TV series back in the day.
Me encantaría una nueva saga de Space 1999 con esta tecnología 2023 muy buena sería ! Suerte !
WOW , amazing.....Thank you for the time and effort . truly enjoyed this.
Fantastic animation. Great to see people still have a love of Space 1999. I use a spacecraft similar to the Eagle in my Slick Moaner adventure book 'Of this world and others'.
Thanks!
I truly believe that the eagle lander is a feasible ship for the moon.
A really good and nice way to start the Brand New Year.. 💕💕
Thank You. 💝
Very well done! I'm glad to see there are still many Space:1999 fans out there.
Thanks!
Absolutely my fave TV series growing up in 70's Britain. This is great. Amazing how cool and believable the aesthetic still looks. Great work......more, please?
I just discovered you now. you are a genius!
Enjoyed this great video. Gotta subscribe and see more. Great channel Sir. Loved seeing 1999.
That is a staggering amount of work! Well done.
Very nicely done. I love the clean lines and aesthetics.
Excellent video. I loved this series as a child.
I absolutely LOVED this! Not only did it show, more realistically, an Eagle in flight (complete w/ OMS thruster burn and profile/landing lights), but it put on display what I think would be the most practical method of embarkation, given the layout of the lunar base. As a true sci-fi nerd, Air Force veteran and lover of all things air and space, I really appreciated the attention to aerospace physics and realism in this!
Fantastic job of rendering and overall!! Would love to know the hardware and software tools you used in this awesome creation!!
I still love Space: 1999. Grew up watching it too. I was thrown by the new Moonbase Alpha at first. But then I do like the new travel tube/'jetway' concept idea. But stayed true to the original Eagle Lander. Thank you as well for the excellent video.
This was the best sci-fi back in my days loved it
Fine work and detail. Great show !
I watched this show when it was on prime time in the 5th grade. I absolutely loved it, perfecting my drawings of the Eagle, then Hawk
Of all the craft I've seen in Sci fi, the Eagle Lander looks like the most feasible design that could actually be produced right now.
I just said something very similar to that on someone else's comment.
The most believable spacecraft in sci-fi.
Such beautiful work Ted!!!
Thanks for your kind words!
You've made huge improvements from that first earth-to-the-moon video on the Eagle model! Even in that first one, I really liked the modifications you made to the Eagle as far as adding a re-entry shield, the retractable struts, etc.
Thanks! This has been a learning process for me, and it's been fun. I hope to redo the Earth-to-Moon video at some point - mainly adding the thrust.
Amazing work! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Love it! Childhood memories. Thank you.
Génial , tu viens de me faire revivre toute mon enfance
Un grand merci a toi ;-)
Now this brings back some memories.
I loved watching this show when I was a kid, outstanding graphics 👍👍
Cuántos recuerdos: El señor Spock pilotando un destructor imperial, regresando de la nave Galáctica...
Loved the Eagle landers when I was a kid. :)
I remember how disappointed I was when 1999 finally came around and there was no moon base
I remember this show, it’s funny how we thought back in the 70s that the late 90s would be so advanced. We are but in a different way. They couldn’t have foreseen smart phones
Excellent job. Really enjoyed the great work and hope you continue to produce this great content.
Thanks!
100%
Superbe animations merci j'espère que cette série sera reproduite avec les nouvelles technologies cela sera terrible
Glad to see you’re still cranking these out. I still fantasize about a parallel universe where Space 1999 was the continuation of the UFO saga it was originally intended to be. I want to live in that universe. I think I’d like it better.
Beautiful job! Thanks for this!
My favorite transport shuttle ever, The eagle transporter. and Moon Base Alpha is very nice name.
Brilliant !
Love the lighting 😳🙏🏼🖖🏼
I had an Eagle Lander diecast toy as a kid, with detacheable module and spring-loaded landing pads 😂
The Eagles are so iconic!
damn good show, miss it
Excellent work man.
Nice work. I appreciate your efforts to address what seems like obvious technology oversights (such as how the Eagle would operate in the atmosphere). To avoid changing the spacecraft design however my explanation would be that there are anti-gravity or gravity reduction mechanisms in the landing gear pods. These would allow the Eagle to vastly slow down for atmospheric operations (particularly re-entry). The thrusters augment landings and takeoffs. This would also explain how Eagles can travel slowly above the landscape etc. and land safely on landing pads near buildings. Note, the act of gravity manipulation is cannon in Space: 1999. In terms of re-usability, using the travel pod in such a manner is genius even though I think it would only be used during base construction.
I LOVE the Eagle, and I’m a massive Space nerd/enthusiast. To me it seems like a design that would actually work on the moon, delivering cargo containers and habitats etc.
Fantastic!!! More please
I love seeing the RCS thrusters firing and the vehicle doing the flip. The lift engines remind me of the space shuttle main engines and the main engines in the back remind me of the big F1 engines on the bottom of the Saturn V. I like this!
I grew up watching that show, it was good for its time period.
This is G R E A T !!!!! A BIG Fan of the show!
I Just saw your channel and your topics of "Space: 1999", Truly Wonderful!!!
BUT, your posting ( and I hope the others ) show EXCELLENT annimation of this topic!! And the soundtrack matching up with the this work is also excellent.
Hey, here's a 'future posting' ....... how bout a walk-around of the "Ultra Probe", that was shown on "Dragon's Domain" ???!!!!
Wheels that high and narrow would be laterally incredibly unstable if there was any significant weight transfer in the pod.
1/6th gravity
But it doesn't matter....because it's fiction. 😀
Dont be that guy
It’s fiction because of budget cuts and obviously Poor quality NASA leadership bad management skills.
