Would love to see those 50's aliens in combat with one another

Your artwork is astounding! Thank you!

This is awesome! Thanks!

Coolness Maxamus

Kind of reminds me of when I did beta testing on the Jupiter II for the Microsoft Flight Simulator. czcams.com/video/bMW25wexiOI/video.htmlsi=f-quqOOpMzUY9s4v

In a bit cut from the opening narration, the FTL drive was called "quanto-gravitetic hyperdrive," not "quantum gravimetric."

If you're still out there, I'd love to see a 3D tour of Spectrum's CLOUDBASE from Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons.

In the book it wasnt nuclear powered

I as a kid; was ahead of the same.. realistic: workable.. many of my sketches.

Um, the "lander" was called the Space Pod. <cough>fan fail<cough>

The guide stars that NASA and JPL use are Sol, Sirius, and Canopus.

ALL IN ALL, NOT TO SHABBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN MANY WAYS, IN KEEPING WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE ORIGINAL JUPITER 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE ARE THINGS I WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY, BUT IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many crewmembers are there for the crew complement of the Nautilus?

The only thing that I was interested in was the engine core. However I was impressed with the power generators.

There was no cryogenics in use. It was an energy field of some sort to protect passengers from the effects of inter-dimensional travel. (Similar to This Island Earth)Thanks to the traitor Dr. Smith, who failed to get off the ship in time, the Jupiter V never did achieve hyper light velocity. So Smith survived without benefit of the tubes. I think the flying saucer design was chosen for faster than light travel through hyperspace. It means humans were so advanced they were nearly caught up with alien UFO tech. Hence interstellar travel took a relatively short time.( Again, its like Exeter's saucer traveling to 'Metaluna' - "beyond - the - Moon" - in This Island Earth)

It’s a MOVIE

Great work! Just watched the movie for the 100th time two nights ago. It never occurred to me the inner layers of the saucer, but I liked the shape of the ship cause it resembled a radical design from the 50s. Thank you.

Nice job! I wish you had also done the saucer from The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Nice work

I love this super spacecraft 👽👽👽👽👽👽👽

4:18 You mean aerodynamics not avionics

3:35 In the story that the film is based on it is the craft's hull metal that catches fire and burns. It is made of Magnesium

They were propelled by anti gravity and not magnetic fields

Looks great.

This film today has a cult following. The modern myth is that domatrix. Alian is Lady Gar, Gar , mother !

This is cool, thanks!

You do know, of course, that it was not real...

Nice job. Love this movie. Fun fact: When they accidentally blow up the saucer, the camera pans up following the blast, right over the top of the fake snow backdrop, revealing the sky around the ice factory.

Ok, but where's the cafeteria?

Also... the nuclear engines irradiated the crew to such a degree, that it caused them to vomit profusely off camera. This not only kept them lean and mean, but also removed any need for a galley and or restrooms, being that the vomit was instanteniously sucked out the rear porthole, known as the vomit flute. Hence we get the term "vomit comet" that was later adopted by parabolic flight aircraft, used to train hopeful space cadets

Ok, let’s build it.

I like this. It gets away from a pure saucer into a aerodynamic shape. After 1966, Star Trek made every other flying saucer obsolete. Yes, the USS Enterprise is an interplanetary flying saucer modified for interstellar travel. Nobody seems to have caught on to the fact the underside of the saucer is generally shaped like an aerospike nozzle. With all the incarnations of that show, it's funny how nobody ever reconciled the evolution in Matt Jeffries' concept, from a saucer to a dispersed structure to embrace the story inherent in the design.

I've always found this to be one of the most beautiful flying saucer models ever made in the movies! Thanks!

Starships could never have this much open space in them

What a Starship.

Glad I stumbled onto your channel, Steve, it's not only a fun watch, it's educational, by definition. Thanks!

Very cool walkthrough! Had just watch the movie the other day. Was an amazing movie for its time!

@Scifisteve1954 are you going to do the updates on the graphics? I'd like to see how you would handle them now. (This isn't a complaint about current graphics!) TY.

Ty for this. I hope to watch all your videos! I love these movies: I saw them when they were originally released!!

So where does the crane tractor vehicle thing live?

metric system : "am i a joke to you?"

Instead of landing gear it has hover struts

Well this flying saucers big enough to live in almost, at least for a few days, I want to build one a hole 4 city blocks in diameter

I usually like your videos. But this one does not follow the original designs for the Jupiter 2 at all. And it looks nothing like the show. I'd rather see you try to incorporate the original designs. (See CZcams Channel "Haselius00" for terrific re-interpretations of this saucer.)

Nice job. But in the book, it's not nuclear, it runs on hydrogen.

So cool!!

Are you sure this isn't the 52 b ? I see no gravity plating or bosons helm, both clearly present in the 52 d (but not on the hemell scale reproduction). A common mistake .

How about a workup of his jetpack? It was used in four serials by three different characters but, true to serial budgets, they used the same film cuts for the jetpack shots in all four 😁

Just an update from a fanboy, I believe the Silver Moon was an ugrade / replacement for the Orbit Jet, and the upgrade was the subject of an episode or two. Any plans to do a workup of the Rocky Jones Silvercup Bread Rocket or any of the other touring rockets (Space Patrol, etc.) of the era?

Cool video, Good info. Love old Sci Fi.
