It was a show Doug Phillips turned me onto. My mind was ripe and my imagination sparked by Star Trek ending 5 years prior and now firmly planted in channel 61 reruns.
Space 1999 was set a mere 25 years into the future, and having most recently watching NASA and the Apollo missions, it didn't seem too far fetched.
But, this was British TV and their production and special effects were... "Different "
Still, I find myself reminiscing the feelings I had when I watched as a much more innocent 18 year old, still with both dreams and memories of the space program.
Looking back, it was still a magical time, even though I was heading towards being an adult.
