You must be referring to the C-57D (not Proteus). The Jupiter 2 and the C-57D have elements in common, as you pointed out. But it is hard to choose between...
Additional thoughts... It stands to reason that if Alpha Control (our future NASA) built a civilian colonizing flying saucer program, then the our future ...
And let's not forget Lost in Space's "Fuel Barge" from the second season. They were built a few years after the J2 launch and neatly fit the "older" J2, like...
Yes. Alpha Control would not have scraped the colonization program just because the first attempt went off course and became lost. They would have continued...
It was late last night when I made that reply..had also seen fantastic voyage again for the 13000th time or so...yes I did mean the C-57D. The point I was...
Oh, and the J-2 was armed for space combat...see "Junkyard in Space" it was the ONLY episode the J-2 had missiles. They should have just left it alone LOL. ...
Hey everyone - check out the updated pictures of the nice replica of the Burroughs console that Paul Johansson put together a few years back on this web page: ...
I agree with "They should have just left it alone". The idea of a hyper-atomic-missile armed single family 'colonizing' ship is ridiculous. I would guess...
On the other hand, I think that if any ETs come to visit Earth, they will be more likely to be Klingon types than Vulcans or Krell. ... "May your B9 shine!" ...
For you guys who are molding and casting parts, what are your recommendations for materials and sources? Alumilite, TAP, Por-a-Mold/Por-a/Kast II, etc? I'm...
Mike, Don't for get about Micro-Mark. I have been happy with their products too. See them at : www.micromark.com Their CR-900 High Strength Resin is a 1 to 1...
I really had good luck with Smooth-on products, smooth-cast 300 resin and 00M00-25 silicon mold. They are mixed according to equal volumes and set up pretty...

I pretty much think that everything you said made sense except for the "mandatory use of freeze tubes" especially in regard to most inter solar system trips. ...
Thanks to all of your who have visited jupiter2consoles.com. I have updated pricing now that I have availability from my supplier. Please see this link: ...
Well, if: "1g accelerate and de-accelerate at halfway to Neptune for instance is only 15 days" can be done without "Hyperdrive"... then I would agree that...
Phil, Starter kit pricing seems reasonable. Two quick questions: 1) Do Left and Right Control Panels have beveled edges? 2) What precisely do you mean by Knob...
And I would have no "inertial dampening" in the Jupiter 2. That is a Star Trek contrivence to permit the crew freedom from requiring freezetubes. It is too...
The knob skirts are the 5 flanges (skirts) under 5 of the knobs. The wide, round, flat thingies under 5 of the knobs. Each one has different labeling on them. ...
There would be 4 knob skirts as one of the knobs on the left panel has a skirt molded as part of the knob. The other ones have numbers on them etc and are...
Stan, my original knobs were not so original. The prop department used a silver washer and metal light knob, with a spring and screw mounted behind. Much like...
I kindof thought the same way... The freeze tubes might be construed as a method of inertial dampining. If they used the freeze tubes to compensate for...
That would be using the J2's freeze tubes the way the crew of the C- 57D used their 'DC Stations' in the "Forbidden Planet" movie - just for aceleration and...

I never liked the Chariot design... It was all wrong. If it went Amphibious, it should have at least survivability at full submersion. Maybe would not have...

I liked the Chariot as a land vehicle. But for an 'emergency' water crossing vehicle (as when a previously 'frozen' sea thaws behind you), I think it should...
