    The ship size conundrum.
    The original ship design brief in the unaired pilot episode called for a one level transport vessel. They were never supposed to live in it. The Gemini 12(renamed Jupiter 2) was delivered by Bill Creber. The lift off features that original one level vessel.
    The network approved the pilot episode and gave it a series order but demanded changes. The addition of the robot, Dr Smith and that they would live on the ship.
    This would essentially mean a complete redesign of the ship to something entirely different.
    Instead, the design was just tinkered with only slightly but it would never really be believable unless you tripled the size to give it a second level.
    That would then be problematic for an aesthetically pleasing studio set where the majority of the series would be set.
    Even as a one level ship, the Chariot is a big stretch. I do not think the ship designer was involved in the chariot design and it's not his fault that is didn't conform to his ship design dimensions. As we know, they didn't bother with accuracy and just went with their imagination.

      Maby the chariot was collapsible hence it would fit in the spaceship although the producers either didn't think of that possibility and give us a hint or they've just never deal with the inaccuracy of proportions between the volumes of the spaceship and the chariot!

      So many 50’s thru 70’s TV series shows had plenty of “realism” problems. I remember wondering how Star Trek (original series) could go from dead stopped to faster than the speed of light inside of a few seconds. I mean even speeding up to a few thousand MPH in only seconds would reduce all personnel to a thin smear of goo on the back wall of each compartment. The power pack for the Lost-in-Space series robot (a little block about the size of a deck of playing cards) was completely fascinating to me back then! And yet I ravenously ate up every single show, each week!! Like other people, I’m not exaggerating at all when I think back to these shows and I can very honestly say that these shows contributed greatly to my life as a communications/electronics engineer!
      Oh, and who has not noticed that in these early space related movies/shows that they would show a USA launched V2 rocket lifting off from the Earth, and then for the remainder of the show the astronauts had two or three stories/levels of spacecraft, each level with a 10 foot ceiling, and each level had about 70 square feet of working space, or more. And the female astronauts were always dressed-to-kill…with immaculate hairdo every single day. Every spacecraft control center had the obligatory 3 or more Dumont oscilloscopes, each weighing 50-ish pounds. In the end…it was all about the plot…and I ate it up as fast as they could deliver each installment!! 😂

      It's Science FICTION. The unwritten contract between program and viewer is that the viewer suspends their disbelief. Many of us knew about the ship size conundrum from early on. The massive galley and sleeping quarters on the lower deck and the bays for the Chariot and the Space Pod. We just accepted they were there and moved on.

    The Jupiter 2 back in the mid 60s was, bar none, the greatest ship ever to grace film. It remains so. The highlights of "Lost In Space" were when the Jupiter 2 was in motion.
    I loved this ship. I built a dozen Jupiter 2s out of paper plates. They had working hatches, actual windows, interiors, working landing gear, and a dockable space pod.
    Not bad for an eight-year old.

      I know some will argue for the Enterprise ( and I wouldn't argue it ) but would there have been one if not for the Jupiter2? The Jupiter has a very classic, organic look, as though it's slicing through space. Either way, the sound of the Jupiter's engines is the best effect for a space ship ever!

      @@dennisjump8655 I'm in total agreement with you about how neat the Jupiter 2 is, but I'm going to have to challenge your contention that without it, there may not have been an Enterprise. Here's why.
      Both Irwin Allen and Gene Roddenbury both came up with a concept for a science fiction television show in 1964. You know the names. Both put them together and pitched them to various networks. Here's where it gets interesting.
      When Gene approached CBS, it was supposed to be a simple presentation to the lower echelon. To his surprise, all the network bigwigs attended it, and asked lots of questions. What was suppose to be a 15-minute meeting actually took two hours.
      At first, Gene was delighted, figuring that the interest was a sign that CBS was going to pick up the show. That is, until the execs informed Roddenbury that they intended to purchase another science fiction show - which was of course "Lost in Space."
      When Gene learned of this, he was furious, figuring the bigwigs at CBS had simply picked his brains at the meeting with no intention of purchasing Star Trek. He remained bitter about this the rest of his life.
      Fortunately Desilu agreed to produce Star Trek, which was in turn picked up by NBC. And the rest is history.
      The Jupiter 2 and the U.S.S. Enterprise hit the airwaves in 1965 - independent of each other - yet still bringing a great deal of entertainment and enjoyment to the masses.

    As a 12 year old back in 1965, I was absolutely enthralled by everying in LIS. Especially the first season. The Jupiter II was unique and spectacular--both inside and outside. The oh-so-cool sounds of the engines, and the fantastic shots of it swooping down over the mountains of the alien planet. So I really appreciate this video! And the ending was so sweet!

      @@randyacuna3248 The Lost In Space producers and CBS brass knew that Star Trek was in the works over at NBC, and that it was going to be a serious, SERIOUS Sci-Fi drama, so they decided to go exactly the OPPOSITE way with Lost In Space to give the audience a choice (especially if they had young kids in the family!) I was six when LIS premiered, and that was what I watched. (Actually, we had little choice because we could only get CBS clearly on most nights!)

    my most fav show in my life ever!! So when they lift off from the derilict ship, the j-2 turns and goes to leave but i couldnt help but notice there was no hatch on the side of the ship. although the little window is there but definetly no side door hatch... did they think we wouldnt notice this kinda thing??? i also noticed another blooper (i hate to see these bloopers because i used to think the jupiter was real!) they also show landing gear retracting during liftoff after crashing on that first planet in the first season. the ship crash landed on that planet on its belly!! no landing gear was used!!!! so there should have not been any landing gear shown on that lift off.. also theres a dent in the model they show in flight!!

    This is intense! I knew it wasn't easy editing the campy elements out. In the beginning the overdubs were scary with Don calling out Smith as the ship continues to go out of control... awesome to include the overdub of the coining of the flying saucer... odd thing is that when I hear the female voice taking control of the ship I think of the evil female robot who came around much later... now I think she is the same robot, but from back then! It works! And the nod from Planet Delta was funny. I didn't see anything about the Anti-Matter world though... I must say, hands down, that the Jupiter Two is my favorite ship! This video captured it's greatest hits (ironically at that!)... a marvel of awesome special effects. The robot, the ship, the chariot, the space pod... that was what made the show. They weren't cardboard props... they were real! The special effects and very hazardous real explosions are amazing! The ending was so emotional with the music and all... wow. This is great!

There is also no room for the Pod either, nor any room for an engine.
