  • This is my collection of Lost in Space models and props that I've collected since the show first premiered in 1965. Some are at my home and the rest are in another building downtown. In the 10 months since I made this video I've created many more dioramas that I added to the collection which can be seen here. • Bill's Lost in Space C...

    Seeing those consoles in the Jupiter 2 was amazing enough... but when you stepped OUTSIDE the ship...! My brain's a bit blown, Bill I'm in real awe. I'm a 60 year old man who feels 12 years old again. Thanks for sharing all this! 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    Yup, there`s a Jupiter 2 on my Space Ship rack and my B-9 Robot next to it. Special effects in that day and age were a lot more labor intensive but they got the job done. I was about nine years old when Lost In Space came out. The 60`s was a magical time. The world was more innocent back then. People trusted Governmental officials. Roswell was still fresh in peoples minds. It was only two or three years after the CIA assassinated Kennedy. A dark time in American History but there were great shows like Lost in Space that projected an optimistic view of what the world could be like. Even Dr. Smith taught you to always look out for that snake in the grass. Truly a great show.

Editing made it seem like you went directly from the working control deck in my basement to the other one with the airlock and exterior campsite.

      @@williamhedges1519 Wow! Great editing! I loved all the references to various episodes, such as the alien fruit in the lab, the statue from "Blast Off into Space" that Dr. Smith made, and the "Follow the Leader" mummy! My bother and I watched LIS every Wednesday night on channel 2. I was 6 and my brother was 8. My younger sister discovered it in reruns. I had a crush on Billy Mumy! Every kid I went to school with would talk about the episodes on Thursday! It was such a popular show. My collection is extremley small; just some autographed 8x10's from the cast when I attended a convention in the mid-90's, and some smaller, newer made toy robots. When I was a kid, I requested at Christmas, and got the Remco toy robot, I had the lunchbox, and we had the game. Unfortunately, I didn't save them. Now I look at those items on eBay and I couldn't afford them now!

    fantastic. I had several of those things as a kid. I had some big yellow jupiter 2 that you could crank wind it up and it was kind of like a gyroscope. Had a plastic robot I eventually filled with saltpeter smoke bomb stuff and burned up. had the black and white "baseball" cards. So loved the show. I was 10 when it premiered and I was already into science stuff. Well guess what, years later I got a BS in engineering, a MS in math. Became a captain in the Air Force and did and still do work on space stuff. Getting ready to retire now. But man I so remember running home from school to catch the re-runs of lost in space as there were many I did not see the first time around as a kid. Batman or the Munsters premiered the same night as I recall and I lost the choice of TV control and missed the first airing of the first episode. That episode where they first crash on the planet is to me one of the best scenes ever. Don in the freeze tube, the camera out the window showing the terrain. Great music of course.

When I was a kid I had a repetitive dream with Lost in Space and that dream was more or less, say, an oniric try to discover the real physical place (probably in a distant and mysterious country called USA) where the Robinson's family and Jupiter II were really settled. The master of dreams gave me different answers in my dreams. But now I see that you made that scenery real. It is amazing. It is the land of heart.
