I think it would've been funny if the Botany Bay returned to Earth to find another crashed starship with Charlton Heston climbing from the wreckage ( PotA ).
Oh, yeah, that'd be weird. You know, there is a Star Trek/Planet of the Apes comicbook crossover that was made a little while ago, darn it, I don't remember the title, but the Klingons were carrying out an invasion of the Planet of the Apes by covert means, using the means of arming the ape armies with things like AK-47s, very practical, but effectively useless against the weapons the Klingons would bring in when Kor and his men tear of the "mask of friendship" and reveal themselves to be not "allies" but in fact "hostile conquerors" and reveal to their new "subjects" what being subjects of the Klingon Empire really means, much to Ape City's misfortune as Klingon troops subjugate it with their typical aggressive tactics... What a quality tale!
LOL! That reminds me of what my best friend and I used to do when we were in high school - make cassette tapes in which he and I would do our impressions of our favorite sci-fi characters, throw in some sound effects, and make-up plots in which, for example, the crews of "Space, 1999," "Lost in Space," and "Star Trek" would "interact!" (I wish I still had those tapes - gone since the 1970s, natch...).
You know what's interesting, is that I automatically picture Ricardo Montalban, when I think of Kahn. I love Benedict Cumberbatch, but he's just not Kahn.
***** He might not spell Khan right, but he did get one thing right. Benny Cumlessdick is not Khan, he was terrible. Laughable worse than Spock's Khan scream. In fact the new Star War "Trek" is just awful. Sure it alot of fun to watch, if you are not a Star Trek fan.But if you are, it just pisses you off none stop.

JJ specifically said he wasn't making a movie for Star Trek fans, but for non Star Trek fans. All he did is make a movie noone wants to see. I can't wait for him to fuck up the Star Wars movies too. Thats why he fucked up my franchize, so he could get a shot at Star Wars.
JJ is a conman, a hack nothing more However I would like to Cumberbatch to come back to Star trek because he is a great actor and ytrek can beifit from him Also Asian men can be white and Khan is that too because he is from that region.
***** I hated into Darkness as a remake of Wrath of Khan, and just as a Star Trek movie in general. I also wasn't that impressed with Cumberbatch. People really need to get up off this dude's dick. As a Star Trek fan having never seen him before or heard of him prior, I was not in the slightest impressed. His reveal as *open mouth slowly an widely in an ackward manner* Khaaaaaaaan (As he said it.) was cringe worthy. Did they ever mention his whole name? I don't think they did. They turned one of the most well known Star Trek villians into Cher, or Seal. Maybe Cumberbatch just didn't get the memo the dude;s name is Khan Noonien Sung. Perhaps that was JJ Asholebrams fault? Regardless, he should be dead (in the movei wise) so there isn't any likelyhood for him to return, thankfully.
If only saw Cuberbatch other film YOu know for sure that is JJ fault He has never done anything great SUper 7 cloverfiled all average type film nothing more.
A fact for which Khan should have been *extremely* grateful! What if he woke up only to find that humans *had* kept refining their genetic augmentation technology over nearly three centuries and he and his followers were now just as obsolete as he considered regular humans?
its fascinating that Khan being the smartest living human didn't come up with warp drive himself but then again he is known for two dimensional thinking captain.

Cleverley done! And I love the mention of Gary 7 and Roberta Lincoln! Will somebody PLEASE make a movie/ TV series about them!?? That would be so cool!
bensisko great point. i read in a Star Trek book that the Gary Seven episode on Star Trek (Original Series) was considered as a pilot for a Gary 7 spinoff from Star Trek.
I thought the DY-100 was used primarily as a interplanetary vessel and that the trip into interstellar space was pushing the crafts original design well beyond intened usage. It was a miracle that he or any of his followers survived the trip up to the point when his craft was intercepted hy the Enterprise. (Original universe)
Yeah - I think Cox, the author of "The Rise and Fall and Khan Noonien Singh," must have forgotten that part - hence his insistence on reverse-engineering the "Botany Bay" with "alien tech." It's likely the "Botany Bay" wasn't even the first DY-100.
Well this video is based upon the Eugenics Wars novels by Greg Cox, where Seven is the one that is able to provide Khan with a ship to escape from the Earth.
FOR SOME REASON I DON'T THINK A SHOW WITH GARY 7 WOULD LAST KNOW MORE THAN 1 SEASON. KIND OF LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE ROBOT DOG K-9 FROM DOCTOR WHO THAT GOT A SEASON AND KNOW MORE.
"In 1987, American launches the last of it's deep space probes. Capt. William 'Buck" Rogers, aboard the compact starship Ranger 3, is thrown in to an orbit 1000 times more vast, returning him to Earth, 500 years later" I love this stuff written in the past, describing a future, that still hasn't happened, years after the future date. A deep space starship in 1987, LOL Reverse alien technology in 1996 Whoop!!!!!
I love anything like this where the Enterprise appears, not as the star but as seen from others’ perspective. Like that last scene in Discovery series 1... it’s like yeah, you don’t need words to describe her. She’s there to save the day.
It's a shame that a movie hasn't been created yet based on the "Rise and Fall of Khan" novels. From a Trekker who was in junior high during the series' original run, your video is incredible! The musical score is a perfect match for every scene! I'll be looking for more of your work!
Good grief. ..all these criticisms. See it for what it is - an entertaining featurette into which has gone a lot of work. And enjoyable it was too. Well done chase!
A comment I have thought to myself about many videos and stories. It is far easier to criticize someone else's work than create some of your own. Thank you.
Based on some Star Trek books linking them together. Look them up and read them. Very good. Can not think of the names right now but they would be listed at memory beta. (A star trek wiki)
This is one of the finest short videos on UA-cam. The music is just awe inspiring - magnificent! I have watched this video many times over the years. The first time I watched it, I didn't know where it was going. But when I saw the last 20 seconds, I almost cried.
Really good. Its a nicely put together piece of fictional history creating something that fifty years in the future, someone might think they are actual recorded history.
Butch, look up "Of Gods and Men". Its a fan fiction SEQUEL to "Charlie X" of TOS. It uses the original "Charlie" and many other ORIGINAL cast members. It is quite the fan fiction production.
Yes this has been raised before a few times. My theory is that a crude form of forcefield was used to create an aerodynamic shape around the hull during the atmospheric launch phase, this would be inkeeping with the other advanced tech on the spacecraft such as gravity plating and and impulse engines. In the novels this is said to be the result of reverse engineering technology from the future.
No need for ANY "force field" silliness if the creators had a little familiarity with how basic physics problems are solved already - not NEEDING "Alien Tech" as a plot device . Nice production , but sadly lacking in technical basis , requiring imaginative re-explanations to meet an unneeded need .
i have watched this at least 1000 times as I am a big time star trek fan for life. My late father loved it and got me interested in the show at the age 6 and from then on I was hooked.
Really well-done! BEAUTIFUL pre-launch and launch sequence - and I thought the brief interior shots - of the instrument panels showing hibernation systems coming-on-line, the trajectory plots, and the crew in hibernation, were excellent touches. Of course, I have trouble with the Cox novel's assumption that the DY-100 was not an indigenous Earth technological development, but required reverse-engineering alien technology - when "Space Seed" made it clear that the DY-100 was a well-established class of Earth interplanetary spaceships - and that the Botany Bay's use of an unprecedented scale of hibernation technology to attempt an interstellar mission was the major difference between the Botany Bay and other DY-100 ships) - but that's just me. ;-)
Very well done, thanks!! Even "back in the day" when I was a kid watching Star Trek episodes when they were new, I wondered how an Earth ship from what was then just 30-ish years in the future had artificial gravity!
Incredible work. This little video-snippet had an a great story that really provided a background for Khan Singh. Too bad that Star Trek didn't have more of this story in the movies.
As a rule, anything that Earth ever launched into space prior to the formation of the Federation was destined to come back to haunt them in one way or another. Which makes it amazing that Starfleet did not have a general order requiring starships to destroy any such things as soon as they came within weapons range. The Klingons knew enough to do so!
Fun Fact- in the Wrath of Kahn , Kahn recognizes Chekhov but the original Star Trek episode that included Kahn Chekhov was not a regular character until later.
It has been speculated - by way of explaining how Kahn could have recognized Chekhov - that during the Space Seed timeline, Checkhov was not yet an officer but worked in security on the Enterprise and was involved with Kahn's incarceration perhaps as one of the guards.
@@ducknorris233 - No , this was an "explanation" offered to allow for the continuity blunder. Barely works and wasn't really necessary _anyway_ but will do fine in it's _place_ .
People, that was pretty damn good. If you could make a movie about the eugenics war, that is how you would end it. The magnificent Enterprise coming into screen to set the scene for Space Seed...
The first time I saw that, I cried a little. Skipping forward two hundred years in an instant, and so full of profound meaning in both eras. The "Khan" storyline is one of the most powerful and moving in all Star Trek lore.
***** I saw the Episode frist in 1997. Who made this video ? Is there any connection to the people who made Star Trek effects, like "TOS remastered" or Doug Drexler or Rick Sternbach ?
The music in order is -Red Alert 3 - Floating Island Fortress -Star Trek TNG All Good Things - Courage -Red Alert 3 - Threatened In Mainland Europe -Star Trek DS9 The Fallen - End Credits
As you know, I have made a vow never to give you information that could potentially alter your destiny. Your path is yours to walk, and yours alone. That being said, Khan Noonien Singh is the most dangerous adversary the Enterprise ever faced. He is brilliant, ruthless and he will not hesitate to kill every single one of you.
Great job! Please, continue making more! My suggestion (if I may) I'd like to see the destruction of the Antares by Charlie Evans. We always hear the electronic "squawk" as the ship detonates--I've always been curious (bit morbid) to see go--and Charlie psionically removing the "baffle" (shielding) plate from their atomic matter pile (maybe he meant exposing their warp core?)--he was under educated living with the Thasians.
Why so many haters? Give Stewart and the Network a chance. Think about STTNG All Good Things, and what a great story arc, with an Enterprise that can go Warp 13, and slice through Klingon ships like butter.
I have the star trek spaceflight chronology book, the original uncut version, in it the DY-100 is already in orbit, however, it does have a "News" report of an unknown ship being launched into deep space, problem with the DY-100 is it's not an interstellar ship, it's designed for interplanetary flight to the asteroid belt and back. also, if you read the original ST Tech Manual, the DY-100 was equipped with a planetary shuttle so the ship could have been built in orbit, and the shuttle launched from earth, docked with the ship, then launched into deep space.
I think the video is cool but if people like me who constantly point out the flaws that are implied by launching this into space from a planet with an atmosphere...well you get the point. And what's worse is that a simple examination of the ships design would have supported being launched with a fairing over the upper section to the cargo modules would have solved all problems. I can’t help it. Launching from Area 51/52 either East for an equatorial orbit, or North for a polar orbit, then some poor schnook is going to get an SRB or a platform on their head.
Just looking at the distances and velocities involved, apparently the DY 100 is good for 0.1c, ie ten percent of the speed of light. The planetary objective is 100 light years away, so a ship traveling at the speed of light would take 100 years to get there. Now reduce that speed to 0.1c and you got a 1000 year trip on your hands. Wondering if all parties involved thought this through.
The music the story everything was great. The Khan episode in TOS is one of my favorites. Wow these 6min & 49 seconds were way more entertaining than STD's two seasons
Excellent video! Gene Rodenberry would have solved a lot of time errors if he had set the story another 100 years or 200 years in the future. He evidently thought the world was about to end by atomic warfare - but we're still here! Had this story been set in 2096 or even 2196, it would all be much more plausible.
My thinking is much the same, but in fairness, we can only see that in retrospect. Many of the continuity flaws and historical divergences that mar the story in our eyes now, were not visible in 1967. It's also the case that Khan's story was probably placed in the "not-too-distant future" of the 1960's audience, to give it a sense of urgency.
From the perspective of 1967 projecting a war against genetically enhanced supermen in the 1990's was legitimate future history; it just didn't work out that way, particularly because of the fact that no one in 1967 would have believed the US would retreat from manned flight in the 1970's, and then flounder without direction through the 80's and 90's with the space shuttle. Predicting some sort of World War III also seemed a safe bet at the time, and no one knew that human genetic modification would come under some pretty firm restrictions (so far, at least). All this proves is that outlining a future history is as fraught in the short term as in the long. And yes, this story-line would make an excellent series or movie. It's always saddened me that the Gary Seven series never panned out.
Douglas Daniel Here's MY perspective . . . [Warning: LONG] Trek used *two* important time-frame references, in dating Khan's place in history: first, a highly specific reference to him coming from the year 1996, and second, a more vague reference to his having lived "two hundred years" before Kirk's time. This last is consistent with other references from TOS, which seemed to be placing Kirk's adventures in the very late 22nd century (and thus, the movie-era stories in the early 23rd, explaining TWOK's on-screen opener). But all this changed between 1986 and '87, starting with Kirk's mention of coming from the *late* 23rd century, and TNG's definitive dating of their own adventures as beginning in 2364. Overall a new, THREE-hundred-year time frame emerged, and along with it, Trek had to choose which of its two references to Khan's time frame were valid. They went with the 1996 date (perhaps because it was so specific), and ignored the "two hundred years" quotes entirely. Hence our predicament. As a side note, it's interesting to speculate on what might have happened, had Trek made the opposite decision, keeping Khan's place in history at 200 years before Kirk's time, but bumping it up to, say, 2067. This could have had profound effects on the development of Trek's backstory: it could have condensed the Eugenics Wars and WW3 into one conflict, for example, both saving a lot of explanation for TWO wars, and providing a possible cause for a war that we now know would have post-dated the US/USSR Cold War.
It's a real shame that the Star Trek episode "Assignment: Earth" wasn't picked up as a prequel series. It was going to specifically cover the Eugenics Wars and Khan Nonnien Singh.
In short, the primative navigation system guiding the SS Botany Bay was ilequipt to deal with gravitational anomolies it encountered during its journey to it's programmed destination. - the 5th planet of the Ceti Alpha system in sector 25712 of the Alpha Quadrant. It was disabled and set adrift. It's passenger were kept in cryo-suspension until they entered the Ceti Alpha system.
don't you like people who analyze every detail about things like this like it's a god damn college course or something and then point out any mistakes?? THERE'S A REASON THESE THINGS ARE CALLED SCIENCE "FICTION" PEOPLE!!!!
Absolutely! Just yesterday, I had a discussion with an engineer who had designed a heat alarm for firefighters' helmets. I said, "Remember Aliens? The feedback displays on all the Marines? This is where that kind of thing starts. And Star Trek created the tricorder and we wanted it to be a real tool. Now, someone has invented a version of the medical tricorder that can detect discrete body functions and different hormones and blood makeups. " If we can imagine it, we can build it. So it's only science fiction until someone makes it real. :)
Cute but you and apparently the creators of the DY100 backstory know nothing of aerodynamics. You don't launch a flat surface like those cargo containers without some kind of shroud. They'd be ripped off if the shroud wasn't there.
And in the time it took to transit human's nearly destroyed themselves, discovered warp technology, made first contact, and rebuilt themselves into a greater empire than Khan could ever dream of. No wonder why he was pissed off when awakened.
Excellent work and writing. Obviously, the cargo bay / rectangles don't work aerodynamically...but that's okay (truthful to the original design). As for the tie-ins to Gary 7...nice touch!
Very well done! The graphics were really well done, great job scoring, and I LOVED that you tied in Gary Seven, one of the great nearly-forgotten characters from ST-TOS.
Great job. They really should do at least one movie on Khan's backstory. Much more interesting than the other Star Trek-themed tripe they have been churning out.
the "force field" (using temporospatially active hull plating on the bow and protruding parts of the DY-10O fuselage) would also be necessary to protect the hibernating crew from radiation - both cosmic radiation and secondary radiation from very energetic impact on the ship's hull by the interstellar wind at one-tenth the speed of light.
Well, you're right in that the ship's launch was portrayed that way in the material in the Star Trek Encyclopedia. But if such a vessel were ever constructed it would have to be done in orbit, not launched like a Saturn V. Unless special measures were made to make it more aerodynamic for the duration of the launch, like an attached cone shaped housing.
Very much like today we are prewarp and have not that kind of technology just yet but will have very soon in about ten or twenty years or so. But still working on it now from others aliens technology.and it must. Not use for war only for defense of our 🌎
That is THE Perfect use for *Gary 7* !! Holy crap man, good hit. I imagine the pitch going something like: "Khan.. Why keep fighting over the tattered remains of a single planet? ..When you could take on an even greater challenge, one worthy of your superior capabilities: 'To conquer the Stars themselves!' "
I would like to see a television movie made where 29th century Starfleet(remember Voyager Episodes Future's End and Relativity) discover something wrong in the timeline from this period. Maybe some Suliban's or some of Vosk's followers could have went there, interfered with Gary Seven's plans and kidnapped him. 29th century Starfleet went back in time and with the help of Roberta Lincoln could rescue Gary and get the timeline back on track. It could even be a pilot for a new 29th Century Trek series depending on how many people watched and liked it.
@@gregbowman9741 In the finale of Enterprise Season 3, we see Archer thrown-back in time to the WWII era (he wakes-up in a tent - and from his POV he sees a German soldier asks someone off-scene whether he recognizes Archer's uniform - and an alien in a German uniform leans-over into his POV). The next 2 episodes in Season 4 are entitled "Storm Front," in which Vosk, the leader of a Temporal War faction, features prominently. Being a WWII- AND an alternate history-fan, those are 2 of my favorite episodes of Enterprise, FWIW.
That’s an incredible piece of work. I’d have like to see fairings around the angular payload until climbing out of the atmosphere, but I could not have done what you have done here, so: bravo!
Jack Bass he was only human...mostly. He already looked to be in his 30s in 1968 and would have been in his 60s at least by the time of Khan’s exile. Unless he was traveling back and forth in time to all the trouble spots in history, by then if that were so why not avoid WW3? I guess hundreds of millions of deaths wouldn’t matter in the long run compared to the extinction event Khan was planning, or the escalation in the Cold War he prevented in his initial trip to 1968.
Looks like good old-fashioned Westinghouse KX-241 analog switchboard meters on the hibernation control panels at 5:17. The yellow-handled devices on the bottom row look like some kind of lockout relay, maybe a type WL with the handle painted yellow.
Excellent job VideoSpaceFX. As a long time Star Trek fan [I'm old enough to remember when the TOS was on primetime television] you've done a super job of connecting the dots of the 'Space Seed' episode. I hope you make more of these kinds of videos. Thanks again.
The genius of inserting a character like Gary Seven into the the Star Trek canon was genius!. Gary Seven was introduced during the launch of, I think, Apollo 11. From this point the future is changed and the Star Trek canon can go in any direction it wants, including Khan and his escape.
Using Gary Seven in the Khan story was originally from the novel The Eugenics Wars: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, and the story used in this movie was pretty much a summation of the second volume of that novel (the first being Khan's origins and rise to power, the second volume being his fall and exile).
This is a retcon. In Space Seed, the Botany Bay was a prison ship onto which Khan and his followers were exiled. He didn't go voluntarily and it wasn't alien technology.
Good recollection. In the same episode, the historian Marla McGivers also says that a new propulsion technology comes into existence in 2018, making sleeper ships unnecessary. (I'm still waiting to hear what that new development was.). ;-)
I can´t wait:-)I love TOS era and U filling the gaps of ST history.Brilliant idea. P.s.when my mom saw this video,she was totally speechless!P.p.s.what is this great music 4:20-end?
Obviously. Unfortunately, episodes of DS9 and Voyager depicted DY-100 models on various character's desktops, with SRBs, and WITHOUT fairings - so that makes it "canon." ;-)
Sorry but you CANNOT launch something like that, with cargo containers like masonry blocks attached. It is aerodynamically impossible the forces acting on the vehicle would have A: the aerodynamic resistance would have been so ridiculously tremendous that it would prevent reaching escape velocity and B: same aerodynamic forces would have created such resistance as to send the vehicle tumbling immediately after launch, and C: you don't launch something that tall with all the weight (containers) cantilevered off to one side and precariously balanced at the end of a stick like they shown here. It just plain wouldn't work. Seriously, If this WAS to be launched then it would have to be done so logically, that means NO cargo containers at launch, they would be added in orbit at a space station or other orbiting facility prior to the ships mission departure. The nuclear/ion engines would never work in launch, they are for space use only so some other more conventional launch system would be used. The DY vehicle would have been built on Earth, attached to in my mind would likely be a liquid fueled rocket clusters mounted under a pair of shuttle type disposable external tank, each attached top and bottom axis of the DY, to this would be mated along the port and starboard sides a trio of solid fuel boosters, like the shuttle system, its known technology. Launching without the containers would allow the launch boosters and tanks to be mounted directly along side the DY hulls, lowering the dynamic center of gravity and making for a smoother airflow over the vehicle at launch. At launch, all rockets would fire, lifting the vehicle, as the solid fuel boosters deplete they are shed, leaving the liquid fuel boosters to lift the vehicle into low earth orbit, once free of the atmosphere the tanks and rockets fall away, and the nuclear/ion engines are engaged to push it into higher orbit or into space. The DYs are built on Earth but once launched they never returned to the surface, living out their careers on space. The cargo containers are fabricated in space at orbital facilities and their contents and configurations vary by use and mission. In my Trekiverse, the Botany Bay was a prototype sleeper ship intended to carry settlers on a one way mission to the just beginning to be established Mars colonies, these settlers knew they were going there never to return, hence by vote of the settlers they requested the name in the reference to the Australian colonists destination. but Khan and his followers hijacked the just completed ship before they colonists were to board and depart, they hijacked a shuttle, boarded and left *from orbit* before the Earth authorities could respond. That's just my Trekiverse, you mileage may vary
+KlunkerRider Hmm, you CAN in fact launch it, it's possible, but the aerodynamic resistance would be so big, that it would need extremly powerful engines, hundreds of stabilizer and a so high amount of fuel, that only this spaceship would cost four times the whole Apollo-programm. Just to get clear on this point. I'm not Trekkie enough to know all about the DYs etc.
fabske 1234 That was kinda my point, this launch would be so impractical as portrayed, as be impossible by any practical standard, unless your space program exists entirely in Kerbal. ;-)
NOW THAT would make for a great Star Trek movie. Gray 7 convincing Khan to take the journey. It would take a hellvu writing team. But with the kind of talent Star Trek fans have. It should be feasible

Agreed! Or a story about Khans rise to power!
That would be a great series of movies.
bensisko great point. i read in a
Star Trek book that the Gary Seven
episode on Star Trek (Original Series)
was considered as a pilot for a Gary 7
spinoff from Star Trek.
@@zagagrad Because of STO rating, the Gary Seven series was dropped by NBC! No other network was interested in it either!😮
@@Leeme3 Great idea!
I thought the DY-100 was used primarily as a interplanetary vessel and that the trip into interstellar space was pushing the crafts original design well beyond intened usage. It was a miracle that he or any of his followers survived the trip up to the point when his craft was intercepted hy the Enterprise. (Original universe)

@@mikegallant811 He task me
Yeah - I think Cox, the author of "The Rise and Fall and Khan Noonien Singh," must have forgotten that part - hence his insistence on reverse-engineering the "Botany Bay" with "alien tech." It's likely the "Botany Bay" wasn't even the first DY-100.

FOR SOME REASON I DON'T THINK A SHOW WITH GARY 7 WOULD LAST KNOW MORE THAN 1 SEASON. KIND OF LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE ROBOT DOG K-9 FROM DOCTOR WHO THAT GOT A SEASON AND KNOW MORE.

I love anything like this where the Enterprise appears, not as the star but as seen from others’ perspective. Like that last scene in Discovery series 1... it’s like yeah, you don’t need words to describe her. She’s there to save the day.
Literally arrived to save STD from the chop as it deserved.
It's a shame that a movie hasn't been created yet based on the "Rise and Fall of Khan" novels. From a Trekker who was in junior high during the series' original run, your video is incredible! The musical score is a perfect match for every scene! I'll be looking for more of your work!
Good grief. ..all these criticisms. See it for what it is - an entertaining featurette into which has gone a lot of work. And enjoyable it was too. Well done chase!
Certainly helps to fill in those gaps in some of the storylines since I've subscribed to this, nice work!
WTH
I agree! They did a great job--even incorporating the novel on Khan, the IDW comic and that episode of Voyager (I think). I hope they do more!
A comment I have thought to myself about many videos and stories. It is far easier to criticize someone else's work than create some of your own. Thank you.
Great vid! I like the portrayal of Botany Bay as cutting edge tech rather than old junk. Good scoring, too.
most things start out as cutting edge and then gets replaced with new cutting edge. I guess it depends on when you are.
Well I thought that was brilliant and would have made a good script basis for a Star Trek Continues episode!
First this is outstanding! Second it gives a new chapter to the story of Kahn.And the tie in of Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln was complete genius.
Agree completely. My thoughts exactly.
@Carl Clarke "Assignment:Earth" was supposed to be a pilot. That's what I heard.
Based on some Star Trek books linking them together. Look them up and read them. Very good. Can not think of the names right now but they would be listed at memory beta. (A star trek wiki)
@Carl Clarke But could they fit Gary Seven into Ocean's Eleven? Or perhaps Charlie's Aliens?

I did cry, but don't tell anybody.
@@JCAH1 there's no shame in crying, it is a completely natural thing that makes things better
Next time add a fairing shroud so you can have peel away for a big revel midway into the launch.
Who went to the trouble to make this? I've heard of fan fiction, but this is 3 steps beyond.
Butch Knouse They should make a Eugenics Wars mini-series. Or maybe we should, the fans! :-)
Except CBS will shut you down. God forbid we get anything better than that clusterfuck Discovery.
Right?? This is good stuff.
Really good. Its a nicely put together piece of fictional history creating something that fifty years in the future, someone might think they are actual recorded history.
Butch, look up "Of Gods and Men". Its a fan fiction SEQUEL to "Charlie X" of TOS. It uses the original "Charlie" and many other ORIGINAL cast members. It is quite the fan fiction production.
Yes this has been raised before a few times. My theory is that a crude form of forcefield was used to create an aerodynamic shape around the hull during the atmospheric launch phase, this would be inkeeping with the other advanced tech on the spacecraft such as gravity plating and and impulse engines. In the novels this is said to be the result of reverse engineering technology from the future.
No need for ANY "force field" silliness if the creators had a little familiarity with how basic physics problems are solved already - not NEEDING "Alien Tech" as a plot device . Nice production , but sadly lacking in technical basis , requiring imaginative re-explanations to meet an unneeded need .
As Spock would say "FASCINATING" :)
This shows why the franchise has so many more storyline than Klingons attacking
i have watched this at least 1000 times as I am a big time star trek fan for life. My late father loved it and got me interested in the show at the age 6 and from then on I was hooked.
Really well-done! BEAUTIFUL pre-launch and launch sequence - and I thought the brief interior shots - of the instrument panels showing hibernation systems coming-on-line, the trajectory plots, and the crew in hibernation, were excellent touches.
Of course, I have trouble with the Cox novel's assumption that the DY-100 was not an indigenous Earth technological development, but required reverse-engineering alien technology - when "Space Seed" made it clear that the DY-100 was a well-established class of Earth interplanetary spaceships - and that the Botany Bay's use of an unprecedented scale of hibernation technology to attempt an interstellar mission was the major difference between the Botany Bay and other DY-100 ships) - but that's just me. ;-)
Very well done, thanks!! Even "back in the day" when I was a kid watching Star Trek episodes when they were new, I wondered how an Earth ship from what was then just 30-ish years in the future had artificial gravity!
Spock said that from 1992-1996, Khan was absolute ruler of more than a quarter of the world. Not half the world.
Absolute ruler of one quarter and controlled by influence the other one-quarter . Read it again .
Incredible work. This little video-snippet had an a great story that really provided a background for Khan Singh. Too bad that Star Trek didn't have more of this story in the movies.
This is most impressive! The compositing is outstanding, and the whole video looks superb.
As a rule, anything that Earth ever launched into space prior to the formation of the Federation was destined to come back to haunt them in one way or another. Which makes it amazing that Starfleet did not have a general order requiring starships to destroy any such things as soon as they came within weapons range. The Klingons knew enough to do so!
Amused. This is the most Kerbal Space Program thing in Star Trek history.
Fun Fact- in the Wrath of Kahn , Kahn recognizes Chekhov but the original Star Trek episode that included Kahn Chekhov was not a regular character until later.
It has been speculated - by way of explaining how Kahn could have recognized Chekhov - that during the Space Seed timeline, Checkhov was not yet an officer but worked in security on the Enterprise and was involved with Kahn's incarceration perhaps as one of the guards.
Shaun Weaver I have seen that theory. I suspect that possibility is what have the Wrath of Khan writer’s license to let them recognize each other.
@@ducknorris233 - No , this was an "explanation" offered to allow for the continuity blunder. Barely works and wasn't really necessary _anyway_ but will do fine in it's _place_ .
Khan may have seen his profile while he was reviewing personnel files in the space seed episode.
@@LordCristianWaters true or maybe his resume on Indeed
People, that was pretty damn good. If you could make a movie about the eugenics war, that is how you would end it. The magnificent Enterprise coming into screen to set the scene for Space Seed...
The first time I saw that, I cried a little. Skipping forward two hundred years in an instant, and so full of profound meaning in both eras. The "Khan" storyline is one of the most powerful and moving in all Star Trek lore.
Think we’re living the “Eugenics War” now!
Thank you for this back story. I wasn't born when the original show came out.
***** I saw the Episode frist in 1997.

Christened Botany Bay after they boarded the ship in orbit? So who did they con into going outside to stencil the name on the ship?

no..who did the khan into it? ;)
As you know, I have made a vow never to give you information that could potentially alter your destiny. Your path is yours to walk, and yours alone. That being said, Khan Noonien Singh is the most dangerous adversary the Enterprise ever faced. He is brilliant, ruthless and he will not hesitate to kill every single one of you.
Great job! Please, continue making more! My suggestion (if I may) I'd like to see the destruction of the Antares by Charlie Evans. We always hear the electronic "squawk" as the ship detonates--I've always been curious (bit morbid) to see go--and Charlie psionically removing the "baffle" (shielding) plate from their atomic matter pile (maybe he meant exposing their warp core?)--he was under educated living with the Thasians.
This short film is better than any of the NuDrek out there!
It's quite amazing how fiction can become so quite real in our minds.
Why so many haters? Give Stewart and the Network a chance. Think about STTNG All Good Things, and what a great story arc, with an Enterprise that can go Warp 13, and slice through Klingon ships like butter.
I have the star trek spaceflight chronology book, the original uncut version, in it the DY-100 is already in orbit, however, it does have a "News" report of an unknown ship being launched into deep space, problem with the DY-100 is it's not an interstellar ship, it's designed for interplanetary flight to the asteroid belt and back. also, if you read the original ST Tech Manual, the DY-100 was equipped with a planetary shuttle so the ship could have been built in orbit, and the shuttle launched from earth, docked with the ship, then launched into deep space.
I always thought it looked like a submarine in space.
I think the video is cool but if people like me who constantly point out the flaws that are implied by launching this into space from a planet with an atmosphere...well you get the point. And what's worse is that a simple examination of the ships design would have supported being launched with a fairing over the upper section to the cargo modules would have solved all problems. I can’t help it. Launching from Area 51/52 either East for an equatorial orbit, or North for a polar orbit, then some poor schnook is going to get an SRB or a platform on their head.
Just looking at the distances and velocities involved, apparently the DY 100 is good for 0.1c, ie ten percent of the speed of light. The planetary objective is 100 light years away, so a ship traveling at the speed of light would take 100 years to get there. Now reduce that speed to 0.1c and you got a 1000 year trip on your hands. Wondering if all parties involved thought this through.
The music the story everything was great. The Khan episode in TOS is one of my favorites. Wow these 6min & 49 seconds were way more entertaining than STD's two seasons
How have I never seen this till now? Great work!
A great short story which created a most likely scenario. Neat, dude.
Excellent video!
Gene Rodenberry would have solved a lot of time errors if he had set the story another 100 years or 200 years in the future. He evidently thought the world was about to end by atomic warfare - but we're still here! Had this story been set in 2096 or even 2196, it would all be much more plausible.
This is true, but generally consistent with what was thought in the 1960s, had the Apollo-era funding continued.
VideoSpaceFX True.
My thinking is much the same, but in fairness, we can only see that in retrospect. Many of the continuity flaws and historical divergences that mar the story in our eyes now, were not visible in 1967.
It's also the case that Khan's story was probably placed in the "not-too-distant future" of the 1960's audience, to give it a sense of urgency.
From the perspective of 1967 projecting a war against genetically enhanced supermen in the 1990's was legitimate future history; it just didn't work out that way, particularly because of the fact that no one in 1967 would have believed the US would retreat from manned flight in the 1970's, and then flounder without direction through the 80's and 90's with the space shuttle. Predicting some sort of World War III also seemed a safe bet at the time, and no one knew that human genetic modification would come under some pretty firm restrictions (so far, at least). All this proves is that outlining a future history is as fraught in the short term as in the long.
And yes, this story-line would make an excellent series or movie. It's always saddened me that the Gary Seven series never panned out.
Douglas Daniel Here's MY perspective . . .
[Warning: LONG]
Trek used *two* important time-frame references, in dating Khan's place in history: first, a highly specific reference to him coming from the year 1996, and second, a more vague reference to his having lived "two hundred years" before Kirk's time. This last is consistent with other references from TOS, which seemed to be placing Kirk's adventures in the very late 22nd century (and thus, the movie-era stories in the early 23rd, explaining TWOK's on-screen opener).
But all this changed between 1986 and '87, starting with Kirk's mention of coming from the *late* 23rd century, and TNG's definitive dating of their own adventures as beginning in 2364. Overall a new, THREE-hundred-year time frame emerged, and along with it, Trek had to choose which of its two references to Khan's time frame were valid. They went with the 1996 date (perhaps because it was so specific), and ignored the "two hundred years" quotes entirely. Hence our predicament.
As a side note, it's interesting to speculate on what might have happened, had Trek made the opposite decision, keeping Khan's place in history at 200 years before Kirk's time, but bumping it up to, say, 2067. This could have had profound effects on the development of Trek's backstory: it could have condensed the Eugenics Wars and WW3 into one conflict, for example, both saving a lot of explanation for TWO wars, and providing a possible cause for a war that we now know would have post-dated the US/USSR Cold War.
This needs to be made into a film or a TV show cut up into sessions as part of the startrek univers. Brilliant and very good .
Excellent! Very much in tune with the novelization of Khan's books. Well done! David
It's a real shame that the Star Trek episode "Assignment: Earth" wasn't picked up as a prequel series. It was going to specifically cover the Eugenics Wars and Khan Nonnien Singh.
This actually wouldn't be a bad movie or fan series story to tell
In short, the primative navigation system guiding the SS Botany Bay was ilequipt to deal with gravitational anomolies it encountered during its journey to it's programmed destination. - the 5th planet of the Ceti Alpha system in sector 25712 of the Alpha Quadrant. It was disabled and set adrift. It's passenger were kept in cryo-suspension until they entered the Ceti Alpha system.
don't you like people who analyze every detail about things like this like it's a god damn college course or something and then point out any mistakes?? THERE'S A REASON THESE THINGS ARE CALLED SCIENCE "FICTION" PEOPLE!!!!
I like Stephen King's take on fiction. One has to suspend disbelief to enjoy it. Nice video, thank you.
But it's based on actual science, so there's room to play in reality. I'm learning things just from these comments, so it's all good. Argue away.
You don't fuck with the franchise. JJ Abrams is a hack who fucked up Star Trek and Star Wars. It's not about SWJ people.
@@Book7BrokeMyBrain many of the fiction in Star Trek became science FACT!
Absolutely! Just yesterday, I had a discussion with an engineer who had designed a heat alarm for firefighters' helmets. I said, "Remember Aliens? The feedback displays on all the Marines? This is where that kind of thing starts. And Star Trek created the tricorder and we wanted it to be a real tool. Now, someone has invented a version of the medical tricorder that can detect discrete body functions and different hormones and blood makeups. " If we can imagine it, we can build it. So it's only science fiction until someone makes it real. :)
Cute but you and apparently the creators of the DY100 backstory know nothing of aerodynamics. You don't launch a flat surface like those cargo containers without some kind of shroud. They'd be ripped off if the shroud wasn't there.
Kevin Finkel Artistic license. We need to be able to recognize the iconic ship. 😀
Correct. Poor planning.
Just a thought, but, the Botany Bay has shields.
David Wood Shields? In 1996/7???
Yes. It is clearly stated that it is constructed using alien technology.
And in the time it took to transit human's nearly destroyed themselves, discovered warp technology, made first contact, and rebuilt themselves into a greater empire than Khan could ever dream of. No wonder why he was pissed off when awakened.
THAT was freakin cool. Makes me want to go back and re-read Greg Cox’s Khan books.
Beautiful! As much poetry as motion picture. I loved the score!
This was great, I enjoyed every second of it, thanks for putting in the effort to make it!
Excellent work and writing. Obviously, the cargo bay / rectangles don't work aerodynamically...but that's okay (truthful to the original design). As for the tie-ins to Gary 7...nice touch!
I agree! Nice citation of Gary 7. You've done your homework my friend.
That was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! and nicely done can almost feel the anguish of Kahn and his people as the Botany Bay is taking off!! Great Video 👍👍😄😁🌹
Great vid to compliment the novels. Good job!
THIS is what Paramount should be spending millions on!!! Not those abhorrent JJ Abram reboots.
5 min in and I was hooked. Awesome job VideoSpaceFX!!
i'd love to see this as the intro to Space seed.
Very well done! The graphics were really well done, great job scoring, and I LOVED that you tied in Gary Seven, one of the great nearly-forgotten characters from ST-TOS.
Great job. They really should do at least one movie on Khan's backstory. Much more interesting than the other Star Trek-themed tripe they have been churning out.
I agree: IMHO "Discovery" is a hijacking and a gross perversion.
the "force field" (using temporospatially active hull plating on the bow and protruding parts of the DY-10O fuselage) would also be necessary to protect the hibernating crew from radiation - both cosmic radiation and secondary radiation from very energetic impact on the ship's hull by the interstellar wind at one-tenth the speed of light.
Well, you're right in that the ship's launch was portrayed that way in the material in the Star Trek Encyclopedia. But if such a vessel were ever constructed it would have to be done in orbit, not launched like a Saturn V. Unless special measures were made to make it more aerodynamic for the duration of the launch, like an attached cone shaped housing.
Yes. That is called a fairing.
It was before the startaki.was even born into the system.
And the starselling was just being invented at that time before the prewarp had just begain.
Very much like today we are prewarp and have not that kind of technology just yet but will have very soon in about ten or twenty years or so. But still working on it now from others aliens technology.and it must. Not use for war only for defense of our 🌎
That is THE Perfect use for *Gary 7* !! Holy crap man, good hit.
I imagine the pitch going something like: "Khan.. Why keep fighting over the tattered remains of a single planet? ..When you could take on an even greater challenge, one worthy of your superior capabilities: 'To conquer the Stars themselves!' "
I would like to see a television movie made where 29th century Starfleet(remember Voyager Episodes Future's End and Relativity) discover something wrong in the timeline from this period. Maybe some Suliban's or some of Vosk's followers could have went there, interfered with Gary Seven's plans and kidnapped him. 29th century Starfleet went back in time and with the help of Roberta Lincoln could rescue Gary and get the timeline back on track. It could even be a pilot for a new 29th Century Trek series depending on how many people watched and liked it.
I must have missed an episode or two, because I'm not sure what series that you're referring to. Voyager or Enterprise?
@@gregbowman9741 In the finale of Enterprise Season 3, we see Archer thrown-back in time to the WWII era (he wakes-up in a tent - and from his POV he sees a German soldier asks someone off-scene whether he recognizes Archer's uniform - and an alien in a German uniform leans-over into his POV). The next 2 episodes in Season 4 are entitled "Storm Front," in which Vosk, the leader of a Temporal War faction, features prominently. Being a WWII- AND an alternate history-fan, those are 2 of my favorite episodes of Enterprise, FWIW.
That’s an incredible piece of work. I’d have like to see fairings around the angular payload until climbing out of the atmosphere, but I could not have done what you have done here, so: bravo!
so it was Gary seven who save. earth in 1996
He should have returned half a century later and stopped WW3,
those books are among my favorites. thanks for visualizing part of it.
I really enjoyed this. Thank to those who made it. Great work,
Jack Bass he was only human...mostly. He already looked to be in his 30s in 1968 and would have been in his 60s at least by the time of Khan’s exile. Unless he was traveling back and forth in time to all the trouble spots in history, by then if that were so why not avoid WW3? I guess hundreds of millions of deaths wouldn’t matter in the long run compared to the extinction event Khan was planning, or the escalation in the Cold War he prevented in his initial trip to 1968.
The quality of this is great... no vimeo for me. Congrats folks
This is the coolest thing. Perfect for a NASA junkie and a diehard Trekkie! (And a fan of the reference-novel, too! :-) )
This is so great I got the audio book about Khan and his Origin. Great video
Cool, i was inspired to make this because of the audio book!
Looks like good old-fashioned Westinghouse KX-241 analog switchboard meters on the hibernation control panels at 5:17.
The yellow-handled devices on the bottom row look like some kind of lockout relay, maybe a type WL with the handle painted yellow.

I hope you make more of these kinds of videos. Thanks again.
The genius of inserting a character like Gary Seven into the the Star Trek canon was genius!. Gary Seven was introduced during the launch of, I think, Apollo 11. From this point the future is changed and the Star Trek canon can go in any direction it wants, including Khan and his escape.
+Stand4Liberty Footage was from Apollo VI, unmanned mission, 1968. XI was July 1969. You owe me ten minutes. I always wondered what footage that was!

Using Gary Seven in the Khan story was originally from the novel The Eugenics Wars: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, and the story used in this movie was pretty much a summation of the second volume of that novel (the first being Khan's origins and rise to power, the second volume being his fall and exile).
Joe Osborne was that originally written under the star trek franchise?
Yes, that story was originally written as a fully licensed Star Trek novel, a two-part novel published in 2001.
I have been a fan of Star Trek for most of my life and I have never seen this video. Love it.
This is a retcon. In Space Seed, the Botany Bay was a prison ship onto which Khan and his followers were exiled. He didn't go voluntarily and it wasn't alien technology.
If I recall this correctly this ship was called a DY-100 (from Space Seed - TOS) it was used as a sleeper ship while exploring our solar system
Good recollection. In the same episode, the historian Marla McGivers also says that a new propulsion technology comes into existence in 2018, making sleeper ships unnecessary. (I'm still waiting to hear what that new development was.). ;-)
Cool!When U do something about Daedalus class?Prequel to Return of Archons,perhaps?
Good idea!
I can´t wait:-)I love TOS era and U filling the gaps of ST history.Brilliant idea. P.s.when my mom saw this video,she was totally speechless!P.p.s.what is this great music 4:20-end?
ua-cam.com/video/XzzUvqtDPnM/v-deo.html
I really enjoyed your production, thank you.
Shoulda had an aerodynamic shroud until out of the atmosphere ....
Obviously. Unfortunately, episodes of DS9 and Voyager depicted DY-100 models on various character's desktops, with SRBs, and WITHOUT fairings - so that makes it "canon." ;-)
It probably had a primitive type of shield, kinda creating an invisible fairing around the ship
Its good to see an alternate story line. Great work on VFX
Sorry but you CANNOT launch something like that, with cargo containers like masonry blocks attached. It is aerodynamically impossible the forces acting on the vehicle would have A: the aerodynamic resistance would have been so ridiculously tremendous that it would prevent reaching escape velocity and B: same aerodynamic forces would have created such resistance as to send the vehicle tumbling immediately after launch, and C: you don't launch something that tall with all the weight (containers) cantilevered off to one side and precariously balanced at the end of a stick like they shown here. It just plain wouldn't work.
Seriously, If this WAS to be launched then it would have to be done so logically, that means NO cargo containers at launch, they would be added in orbit at a space station or other orbiting facility prior to the ships mission departure. The nuclear/ion engines would never work in launch, they are for space use only so some other more conventional launch system would be used. The DY vehicle would have been built on Earth, attached to in my mind would likely be a liquid fueled rocket clusters mounted under a pair of shuttle type disposable external tank, each attached top and bottom axis of the DY, to this would be mated along the port and starboard sides a trio of solid fuel boosters, like the shuttle system, its known technology. Launching without the containers would allow the launch boosters and tanks to be mounted directly along side the DY hulls, lowering the dynamic center of gravity and making for a smoother airflow over the vehicle at launch.
At launch, all rockets would fire, lifting the vehicle, as the solid fuel boosters deplete they are shed, leaving the liquid fuel boosters to lift the vehicle into low earth orbit, once free of the atmosphere the tanks and rockets fall away, and the nuclear/ion engines are engaged to push it into higher orbit or into space. The DYs are built on Earth but once launched they never returned to the surface, living out their careers on space. The cargo containers are fabricated in space at orbital facilities and their contents and configurations vary by use and mission.
In my Trekiverse, the Botany Bay was a prototype sleeper ship intended to carry settlers on a one way mission to the just beginning to be established Mars colonies, these settlers knew they were going there never to return, hence by vote of the settlers they requested the name in the reference to the Australian colonists destination. but Khan and his followers hijacked the just completed ship before they colonists were to board and depart, they hijacked a shuttle, boarded and left *from orbit* before the Earth authorities could respond.
That's just my Trekiverse, you mileage may vary
+KlunkerRider Hmm, you CAN in fact launch it, it's possible, but the aerodynamic resistance would be so big, that it would need extremly powerful engines, hundreds of stabilizer and a so high amount of fuel, that only this spaceship would cost four times the whole Apollo-programm.
Just to get clear on this point. I'm not Trekkie enough to know all about the DYs etc.
fabske 1234 That was kinda my point, this launch would be so impractical as portrayed, as be impossible by any practical standard, unless your space program exists entirely in Kerbal. ;-)
KlunkerRider Hmm, perhaps I'll give it a try on Kerbal :D
fabske 1234 If you do please post it. :D
KlunkerRider Okay. But it'll take a while. I don't have the game on the computer and don't want to do something productive now
As Paul Harvey used to say, "Now, for the rest of the story." Brilliant work and storytelling.
It's very cold in space for you Khan.
You’d think the bastard would have stood trial and would have been executed for war crimes. But this made for a nice production. Well done!!!
Why didn't Gary-7 use his matter transporter to send Khannnnnnnn and company off to a new planet instead of stealing a crude ship?
