The Robinson's decide to take the Jupiter 2 and get the hell off this alien dumpster world.
Too many alien vikings, knights, IDAKS, dragons, pirates, & floating green girls have taken their toll.
It's time to head for outer space...until they crash again!

I love how the ship takes off like a hot air balloon, yet the crew looks like they're pulling some serious Gs.
I Think We're Getting A Super Slow-Mo Version Of The Actual Thing
The genius of Irwin Allen.
WITH AS MANY CRASH LANDINGS AS THEY HAD I ' M SURPRISED THAT THE SHIP WAS NEVER DAMAGED !
@@ericbarash6842 IRWIN ALLEN NOT A GENIUS AT ALL ! IN AN INTERVIEW WITH JOHNATHAN HARRIS (DR. ZACHARY SMITH) HE TALKED ABOUT IRWIN ALLEN FILMING AN EPISODE OF LOST IN SPACE IN WHICH THE ROBINSON FAMILY FINALLY GETS RESCUED . GUY WILLIAMS HAD PASSED AWAY AND TOO MUCH TIME HAD PASSED TO FILM THE RESCUE . IT WAS A WELL THOUGHT OF EPISODE UNFORTUNATELY IRWIN ALLEN NEVER GAVE IT THE IMPORTANCE THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BECAUSE HE ALWAYS SAID THAT HE WAS " TOO BUSY " AND NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT ! IRWIN ALLEN DISAPPOINTED THE FANS OF THIS SHOW ! IRWIN ALLEN NOT A GENIUS AT ALL !
cant quit laughing at this comment!!! LOL!!!! Hot air balloon....
I was 8 years old when it was first shown on TV. Today at 62 years old , I still watch it on TV. Never get tired of watching it.
u should watch netflix’s remake of it if u haven’t already, it’s rly good
Like wise we same age lol. Me too
It's a great show
Yep. Me too. 62 and still watching. I remember going out on halloween as major west.
Although some of the story lines are campy, I also grew up with the show and still love it. Have the whole series as a boxed DVD set. Introduced it to my son and he enjoyed it as well.
This take-off sequence left a real impression on me as a kid. These were first-rate special effects for that time. I also loved the Chariot scenes.
gotta remember too that we were watching on small 19" TVs back then, so it looked amazing.
That scene is actually just playing the crash landing scene from the first season in reverse. Saved $$$ looked just as good.
This series was spectacular. I watch whenever I can. 💋
I was always bothered by the ship being bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, did they steal some high tech from Dr.Who?
Still always loved the Flying Saucer look.
@@lonknight3197 This series was spectacular. I watch whenever I can.
It ain't the Enterprise but the sound of the Jupiter 2 at takeoff still gives me chills when I see it.
This series was spectacular. I watch whenever I can. 💋
I agree about the sounds. If you think in terms of retro future alternative evolving realities, the Allen reality (pop satira put apart) is more human, more mundane, in a certain sense it is much more realistic than the Roddenberry's reality -- which is a much more dated simulacrum of real (Soviets versus Americans and UN Federation versus Klingon etc). Star Trek is a fabula (fable) aiming some moral and Lost in Space is a fairy tale aiming nothing in particular, nothing moral most of time and nothing truly new about the (and supposed well known) ultimately human soul.
Brazil
It’s the background music that builds that sense of thrill danger. I love that show as a kid. I really wanted to do Dr. Smith in. I think he was the first villain. I really hated😮
Sound was awesome, we never heard anything like that before, actually mesmerized the brain synapses to a large degree, and it felt soooooo good too!
@@brutusofnn Good ole' Dr. Smith, the one person every one loved to hate!
For mid 60s technology...this liftoff footage is incredible!!!!...Irwin Allen and team sure got it right and is still awesome 60 years later !!!
Hi Keith. This series was spectacular. I watch whenever I can. 💋
Yes and on a budget lower than you would think!😊 ... As a kid I was always looking to see reused props from other sci-fi movies and TV of the time.
The model was attached to cables and filmed taking off and landing. They didn't have CGI in 1965. So to hide the cables was great feat at the time. Filming in canyons made it actually looking like crash landings and takoffs from alien planets. The island in the sky episode was an initial crash landing that still looks impressive given it was 1965 technology
@@philipcunningham4979 very early 1965!....Filmed in January.....all the pre film work done in '64!!!
Now that's the Lost In Space I grew up on. Thank you. Love the Fusion Drive! Love the sound effects and the cool reverse crash landing in color.
This series was spectacular. I watch whenever I can. 💋
Yep, the crash landing scene in reverse
@@robertmartinez1645 This series was spectacular. I watch whenever I can. 💋
Loved the 3rd season......they were in space alot more!!!...very cool..
The fusion drive sound used to send shivers down my spine, and it still does. Irwin Allen's best sound effect IMO.
Oh those engine sounds and retro blasts are the best.
Yes, I've always liked that powerful sound, ever since I was a kid. 👌🏾
😍
I wonder how Irwin got that sound?
I used to travel on the Long Island Rail Road and I liked the days when they would have two engines on the front of the train. - great sounds. If you were waiting on the platform your chest would vibrate.
@@gill2675 Electronic modular, probably an early model of the Moog Synthesizer.
Yes, it flew down hill on wires while the smoke helped to cover it. The studio played it back in reverse so it flew upward out of the planet. Still, it looked pretty damned good.
It certainly did !
I did not know that still looks good
Yes Sonny that take off scene from the planet still holds up today! Also still love that engine sound as well!
That scene was filmed in Jan 1965...and it is still incredible to watch...just 13 months after Kennedy assassination.....good thing they filmed it in color or it could not have been used in season 3!!
God I miss the old days
As a kid I always wanted to pilot the Jupiter2. I love this spaceship launch. It brings many memories.
Difficult ship to pilot, because, any given week, the few controls and displays that they had were changed! No wonder Major West crashed it so often!
Will was a pretty good pilot in "Target Earth", must've got some lessons from Dad & Don.
This series was spectacular. I watch whenever I can. 💋
As a kid, I always thought the Jupiter 2 was one of the coolest-looking space ships I'd ever seen. I think I still do.
Agreed! I was disappointed they didn’t fly much.
Check out Gerry Anderson vehicles. I like the Jupiter 2 also.
@John Roberts • You do know that the reverse crash landing scene was the Gemini 12
Me too
I agree. I use to make a Jupiter 2 using 2 paper plates glued together when I was a kid.😁
My favorite spaceship in the land of sci Fi. Never looks dated,way better looking than the enterprise. And the sound effects put the Jupiter 2 over the Top!! Simply Awesome
Like the DeLorean! Looks as modern as anything today!
I love the sound of the Jupiter 2 engine when I was a kid my mom had a twin tub washing machine that sounded like it when it was on spin cycle lol.
The Jupiter II in flight soothes my inner 10 year old. More thrust Don!
That's what she said...
Fire the main bank!
We're already pulling 1.1 Gs. Not sure the ship can take much more. lol
And then the jump to near light speed within the first one million miles!
Very cool! I always have to laugh though, when you see Guy and Mark overacting as if they are pinned to their seats because of the G-forces, but you see the Jupiter 2 rising at the speed of an elevator!
I always loved those Jupiter 2 take-offs in Lost in space 🚀.
Back in the day when traveling was an event, Maureen is ready for lift off in full makeup.
Hi Falcon. This series was spectacular. I watch whenever I can. 💋
And Judy in full curls
@@gerry-p9x Yes. 💋 from Brazil.
Penny's hair length is definitely outside the regs for space travel.
Yeah but Maureen was in a tank top as I recall when they had to endure a mega heat wave in the chariot in bw. Episode
Great stuff! Conveys the power of the Jupiter's engines
😃
This video is a little more realistic showing the power and speed needing to be maintained for quite a while to reach escape velocity in order to be free from a planet’s gravity. Often we would see that as soon as space is visible, you are “free”. Mr. Allen often threw out already known scientific facts in favor of drama, (like comets giving off heat like a sun hurtling through space like a flying sun, or supernovas flying through space like a comet)!! I still ate it up as a kid and loved it when they went back to space travel in season 3!!!
I love the atomic sounds of the power plant in full operation
@@MrTitan225 Right. Those are some great sound effects !!
Although they do show stabilizers firing off, the Jupiter 2 had only one, liquid Mercury, gravity negating, plasma engine. It was purely electrical in nature but needed a rare fuel ( Hawking 145 ) to get the anti gravity effect started.
THAT IS THE WAY THE JUPITER 2 SHOULD HAVE TAKEN OFF!!! ....AND YOU HAVE THE ATOMIC ENGINES IN STEREO WITH THE LOW-END RUMBLE!!! OMG!! GREAT JOB, ..AND IT'S IN HD!! ....THIS IS NOW MY TOP FAVORITE!!!
One Of the coolest things to me was that the Jupiter2 as well as the Seaview and flying sub miniatures from voyage to the bottom of the sea actually had to be flown or maneuvered on wires .Therefore the miniatures actually had to move thru air or water and not the poor quality you get filming a stationary object on a blue screen stage . The ability to actually film the object and background simultaneously
made a big difference in the quality of the imagine filming a person with blue screen and then adding a background.the lighting never seems to match and there was a slight reduction in quality by overlapping film on film and the more layers added the worse the image degraded.The amazing quality of LB Abbott and the Lydecker brothers still brings a smile and a sense of wonder.Thanks for this wonderful video!!😀😀😀
Abbott and the Lydeckers were immensely talented guys !
Hmmm..... quite unconsciously, I almost made them sound like a doo-wop group from the 50s. ☺️
They looked pretty high, from the vantage point of the flat area where the Jupiter 2 had crashed.....heh heh heh. 😉😊
I bought the whole series on dvd , it brings back all my memories of the show , its awesome
Great piece of editing. Good thing Don and John didn't go more than 80%of power and use the Anti Gravity Drive. Or everyone would be screaming the way Dr. Smith did when the Jupiter 2 lifted off from Earth in episode 1, The Reluctant Stowaway. eeeyyyAAAAAHHH!!!!
Always felt Smith got radiated here
Irwin Allen was a genius for his time. The look, the feel and sound effects along with his style of visual effects always left you with that feeling of Awe. Sorry hes not around to make more great shows and movies.
Would love to have a ship like the Jupiter 2!!!
Sometimes the older stuff is best!
The crash scene in reverse! 😆
Yeah, if they actually planned it that way, it was genius! And I don’t think they reversed it and reused it as a liftoff until season three! They reused it as a crash in early season 2 in color for the first time.
Correct
@@Geezer-yf8hv All the early effects shots were filmed in color just in case they would need to reuse them. Even the giant cyclops was filmed in color, but was never use after the b/w first season.
I reckon the sound of the Jupiter engines is the greatest! I did hear some remarks about how the sounds were made but have forgotten...
Thanks for posting! Whenever I have a bad day I love to come to TH-cam and watch videos that make me happy!
More than 4 decades since I watched this as a child & I still can't get the robots line out of my head. Danger Will Robinson!!
As an "Old-Geyser", I still believe the Jupiter 2 IS the coolest looking space ship? As a kid I fashioned one (with an upper and lower "View -Port") then with the 2 pie pans stapled together I epoxyed a "mini" pie-pan (containing a "Cox" solid propellent rocket engine) to the bottom, then launched it from my parents patio with the use of my "Big Rail Work Train's" power transformer. It jumped 5 feet off the concrete, then, turned sideways and spun around in mid -air until the rocket engine came loose and tore It apart. What a memory. I waited until my dad left for work. My sister thought it was amazing.
Exhilarating! Functional, dynamic and well balanced!
This looked amazing when it came out, remember there had never been pictures of the Earth and the stars before and there was no Moon landing yet, and also we were watching this on small screen televisions, yes this was state of the art and much more real than Star Trek.
At 1.25 speed the liftoff seems to be slightly more realistic, from a physics point of view.
How about a shout-out for those few episodes of Penny with her long dark hair? Rawrrr!!😍😍😍
😍 I hear you loud and clear ! 😌👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
There's just something about a brunette.....at least in my book.
Marta was my babe 😍😍😍 Swedish beauty
The short bob cut definitely did her no justice.
I met Major Western at a Star Trek convention in Nashville back in 1996. He was telling me about the reboot that came out in 1998. I asked him if he was going to be in and he said yes he was going to have a cameo.
Lovely June's hair was always so perfect. Lucky they always landed on a planet with great salons....
Awesome 👍
Totally
As a schoolboy I spent many happy days recreating this crash scene with an old tin dustbin lid in my garden . I was gutted no LIS toys were available here in UK. These vivid scenes from the series will stay with me until my dying day.
This series was spectacular. I watch whenever I can.
I love this serie...!
🙏🇧🇷🇺🇸⚔☠🗡💀👉👉
Brings back some nice childhood memories - thanks for uploading.
Watching this series on childhood mornings was wonderful, unforgettable for me to this day!!!!
A great and relatively rare flight sequence. The sight and sounds of the Jupiter 2 were mesmerizing to me as a kid. I endured all the aliens and land episodes hoping for the rare flight and landing sequences on its cool retractable legs.
This is great! Nice edit job!
When i was a 10 yr old kid...i really thought that the Jupiter 2 was real and coul really take off as shown...and i absolutely loved it as a small child!!!!
The lost in space music soundtrack was so good , it was always dark with a feeling of impending doom or evil about it ,all of the TV shows from the 60's excelled in this regard from the Munsters too Get Smart and beyond ,we all knew as kids which TV show was starting just from the theme music, even cartoons had fantastic musical direction, i do miss all of that, or did until youtube came along,
Love that piece of music at 2:03! 🎵
Written by John Williams.
not bad for 56 years old ... almost
I love the pre-Apollo 11 image of a planet with no atmosphere. This was a great show, loved watching it back in the day ...
By 1967 there were plenty of NASA stock color shots of Earth from orbit and great shots from Lunar orbit by Dec 1968.
These last season shots of planets were much more compelling than their earlier stuff and more than their contemporaries Star Trek and Doctor Who. However the Star Trek ship photography was much more compelling than Jupiter 2...most of both shot in 1965....but Star Trek was mostly vacuum shots away from other elements.
A better compare is the ST Shuttles to the Jupiter 2, and there the J2 is shot and composites much better.
The Class M planets never looked realistic on ST. They were either swirling color like Jupiter/Neptune or they looked like library globes with new continents painted on.
Born in 57 , was my favorite, then Star Trek
As a kid groing up I really enjoyed that TV program !
I got lost in space with them and it felt real as a kid.😊
Great video. Jupiter 2 has always been my favourite ship. The engine sound is fantastic. I understand that Lost in Space is now around 60 yrs old. Oh for the Friday afternoons when I’d run from the school bus to the front door, hoping that there would be cheese and onion crisps to eat while I watched the show! Happy days indeed.
You can always tell the aliens were from the future in Lost In Space because they were always covered in silver paint. Great childhood memories.
Loved this show as a kid. Thankfully it was on the only channel our old tv got. Found episodes are being rerun on Dish network now.
WONDERFUL! ... The original series had mostly lousy infantile plots, but it was spot-on in it's main, terrific theme, and which one film and two remakes failed to understand and capture: the Jupiter 2 was a cozy, thrilling, snug-under-the-blanket Winnebago-like camping ride with family and friends through the Galaxy!! .. Even the clumsy WOKE creators of the recent Netflix redux were totally clueless as to this joyful camping charm of the original, but instead gave us dysfunctional characters and a ghastly-looking Jupiter 2 that looked like a cold, lame thermostat dial! ... Please re-do LiS and don’t fret about incidental scientific and technical inaccuracies - allow the child-fantasies in all of us fill in these gaps! … Who doesn't fantasize, late on a rainy night, under the blankets, being with family and friends in the original Jupiter 2 visiting wonderful worlds through the galaxy?!
Bravo
@@billhoskoformayorofsaintpa1295 Thank you! ... & Best of Luck!
The only update the Jupiter 2 needed was to make it larger to contain all the stuff they had, (I always wanted to see the rear “garage door” where they would load and unload the Chariot)!!
The look and sound of the ship was always perfect in my mind! Your comment about camping reminded me of those Silverstream trailers they used to have! They reminded me always of the spaceship!!
@@Geezer-yf8hv Oh, man! ... you got me rolling (no pun) on the Silverstreams! ... I am with you, the Jupiter 2 does need to be a bit larger so as to visually contain all that stuff - but keep it's overall shape and it's CAMPER features. ... because, as you allude to, it gives a warm family and friends comfort feeling! ... They should RE-DO LiS and don't let WOKE touch it!, and please, writers, don't feel awkward about possible technical and even scientific gaps - Just, PLEASE, allow the child in all of us fans to participate in filling in these gaps with our wonderlust fantasies.
@@josenighthawk Agree! I would love to see a remake that actually maintained some of that retro-style of the ‘60s, (just better color coordination with those uniforms! No brown pants with green tops, or vise versa)!
And can we please have a remake where the family is NOT all dysfunctional? (Or is that too unbelievable for today’s audience)?
RIP, Mark Goddard.
I think Lost in Space was the last “serious”sci-fi program to use the “flying saucer” design for spaceships. Star Trek came along in 1966 and did away with the flying saucer design forever.
The USS Enterprise has a saucer section in ST:TNG.
As a kid, I use to dream of being found on a planet, then traveling with the Robinson family! Sad, it was just a dream….but a good dream!
BEST engine noises EVER, period!!!!!!!!
I loved that show. I believe the take off from the planet is just a reversal of when it landed there but it's still cool. 😊
Actually great special effects! Flying through the mountains!
They did it by filming the Jupiter 2 prop sliding "down" on a wire in a miniature mountain set. There are some videos showing this.
Such steep climbing but it never gets any further above the rocky landscape. "Irwin Allen at his most ridiculous."
I think these special effects still look good after all this time. I'm glad to see they didn't create new ones like Star Trek.
Along with the Liberator from Blake's 7, surely the Gemini 12 / Jupiter 2 is the most beautiful spaceship design seen in TV sci-fi.
A fine piece of editing magic David!
I watched this show the whole time it was on while I was growing up back in the 80's the only problem is I can't remember what episode or season this scene was from but one thing I liked about this show was the special effects for the time and the cast like the late Guy Williams who played John Robinson who was also known for playing the title character of the Disney t.v. series Zorro and I also know he played in a couple of movies I'm familiar with like the theatrical version of the t.v. series Zorro and I also know he was in the Michael Landon film I was a Teenage Werewolf where he played a deputy sheriff.
Little bit of trivia. Billy Mumy is now a singer songwriter and is in a band with John (I Love the Flower Girl) Cowsill and Vicki (Walk Like an Egyptian) Peterson of the Bangles. Billy even played guitar at least once on Lost in Space. John Cowsill of course was the drummer for the musical family, The Cowsills but until recently has been the drummer for The Beach Boys for many years. John and Vicki are married.
That was a neat TV show I watched as a kid
The model wire special effect works. Most realistic spaceship lift off ever.
You have to look very closely, to see the smoke/steam moving backwards, to realize this was the “crash footage” in reverse! They did a very good job, and I give them credit for being able to use this iconic footage this way!
In real world, most likely one of the reasons for the circular/saucer design of the Gemini 12 (later Jupiter 2) and its symmetrical bottom, was so that distant shots could be run in reverse.
Back then they were very concerned as not to burn film which meant wasting the film because production was very expensive.
@@ericbarash6842 They should have used Lydecker to create more scenes with the Jupiter 2!! They kept using the same scene over and over. In season 3, every planet looked just the same as season 1 and 2!!! Always cutting the budget on this show!
I LOVE THE SOUND OF THOSE ATOMIC ENGINES !
I notice at 1:19 that Lost in Space have a much more realistic idea of how big a planet is than Star Trek. On Star Trek, the Enterprise always looked like it was orbiting something about the size of a basketball. The shot at 1:19 gives a much better perspective on the scale of a planet.
J2 pulling some serious Gs!!!
Wow,, that planet sure has some super strong gravity !!!!!!!!
I used to watch this everyday after school
Oh, John Williams music , amazing
This is so cool.brings back good memories
THE MOST FAMOUS FLYING SAUCER IN ALL OF SCIENCE FICTION ! THE JUPITER 2 FROM LOST IN SPACE !
Iconic series. They should've listened to Johnathan Harris's advice to have 'Dr.Smith' killed by the 5th episode.
The serious 1st season rocked.
I wonder why nobody has ever marketed a Jupiter 2 drone.
giid udear
Always a pleasure to see the Jupiter 2 airborn...on their way to crash somewhere else.
(even when it is just the first crash sequence played in reverse - shown this time in colour)
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!
Those practical effects were hilarious!!!🛸🛸🛸
Great special x efect....look so real....👍👏👏👏
ONE HELLUVA LIFTOFF!!
Excellent!
I never missed an episode, although the story lines got a bit silly. Will Robinson was my hero and I was in love with Penny.
Love it! Along with the awesome sound track.
This awake my interest in sci-fi.🎉😊❤
I'm pretty sure I was amazed at this takeoff sequence when I 1st watched it, but now I can't get past the sense that they're backing off the planet really fast, good use of existing film and lighting, but they're still just in reverse
love that ship sound nothin else like it
This is a great sequence!
I still love the engine sound.
I was always puzzled why moving at about 15 miles per hour during takeoff was so painful... not enough force in that liftoff to rattle a kitten. 🤣
In story, we could say that the artificial gravity (AG) shifting modes and performing powerful functions created unavoidable gravity waves within the specially-designed integral hull. Perhaps AG was used to contain and densify deutronium fuel within the fusion core.
That was a gruelling take off, not that it bothered the monkey too much. I’m pretty sure my moped can achieve escape velocity now 👍
I think this is more exciting now than when I was 9yo.
I always thought the Jupiter 2 had the coolest sounding engines.
Oh the pain!
The only sound of liftoff better than the Jupiter Two was......what else?....the Saturn Five.
Right from the beginning, i could not wait for john robinson to space doctor smith.
