<b>Off topic, non hardSF stuff</b><br />Re 1999,<br />Yes I loved the models. I had the eagle toy as a kid. Slightly off topic to this thread, I think they could have rationalised the basic plot fairly well if they had instead discovered the moon was (or had buried in its core) some advanced technology that the explorers accidentally triggered. The moon starts vanishing and appearing around other inhabited planets. There are no significant gravitational upsets because some object of identical mass, perhaps a singularity, exists like a placeholder at each location.<br /><br />The above is hardly hard SF, but its alien, so who cares <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> .. Apart from that premise everything could have been kept hard SF.<br /><br />A similar idea I once had was a modern nuclear aircraft carrier somehow transported to a ringworld. Each week they could have sailed far enough to reach a new culture. Hopefully not to many parallels would be drawn to current political events <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

OK, 1999 sucked, but that metamorphing chik was HOT. at least as a 13 year old boy I thought she was.

I had an "Eagle" model I built when I was a kid. Actually, that was my intro into the series. Amazingly enough, there are still fans out there. http://www.space1999.net/<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>
