Video recorder! That came years later!
Incredible acting.
Wellll… Planets are a natural & expected side effect of star formation. ….and aparently they've developed faster-than-light communication technology. And from Canada no less. Mounties In Space !!
Why would a ship a from a race that has not found any other intelligent life be equipped with atomic weapons, typically human.
We had the same situation happen when we had our cardboard spaceship. Mom called us for lunch, when we came back we were in park down the street
Hey Frank… What are the painted-on gauges telling us?
20 Oct 24, Look, all radio and tv signals are still out in space!!! All we have to do is find them and we could have the entire series🤷♂️🤦♂️🤷♀️
Roddenberry certainly copied a lot of stuff
Sorry. Don't remember this show
Amazing how much the Star Trek team plagiarized from this.
2:50 "26,000 billion miles away" and 3:13 "very close to Proxima Centauri". Wow, they actually got the distance to Proxima Centauri correct. Impressive scientific accuracy for 1950's TV sci-fi.
Commander to earth base:
Earth, we have found that for some reason, space here is littered with Maple Leaves…..
These scenes remind me of playing “spaceship” with my brothers in the basement, where I lined up chairs, drew TV screens on the back of them, and would shut out the lights to simulate space. I tried to emulate the look of these shows. Great memory.
That would be Jason of STAR Command. Not Space Command
Ahhh, so little Donny T. said to himself, when I become president I want to be commander in chief of Space Command.
"It's a bakery!" If you don't find the show interesting, the closed captions are hilarious.
Those early spaceships sure were roomy.
Canada of the 1950s
WOW, this guy is a real rude person. Demanding this and that to be done. Constantly interrupting her with a ORDER to be done.
An old one here. I watched this series on our first TV. Strangely, I definitely recall theme music quite different to this ??
Aileen Taylor was HOT!
I love the fact that space travel and exploration by this time is regarded as boring 😂
Growing up in Detroit in the 50s we could tune in the CBC just across the river from us.
Maybe one day they will release this tv series
Why don't they release this tv out the public
ouch no more eps. is a crime
It’s amazing to imagine WW2 was still going on 7 years before this…. No time at all..
@06:41
He was always a lover of that warp drive 😂
Man. You know Scotty was happy to move from this nincompoop captain onto James Kirk.
So they also had subspace radio in those days for realtime reporting
I think 26 thousand billion miles is about 4.4 light years so Proxima Centurai would certainly be near.
I'd love to know what rocket fuel they were using
FUCK the days before inertial dampeners!!
I am shocked by how not-dumb this is, not just by space opera standards but by 1950's sci fi standards. 12 minutes in and they haven't even made up any words
6:40 – now we know where star trek got its space warp drive and antigravity from!
