Well, Happy New Year, everyone. Just think! Only fifty-eight years to go and we can all have our own jetmobile! Sincerely: I hope this finds everyone in good...
OK everyone, better read this good. Here is the instructions for how you can make your own Fireball, Light Patrol and SS Thor Models. Fireball Craft For this...
Not exactly an XL5 topic, but I just caught a National Geographic TV item on a new private space venture that could come straight out of a Century-21 ...
Thanks Ed, Looks like more attention should be paid to the Anderson way of getting into space. Maybe we'll get bases on the Moon yet. Maybe private Enterprise...
Well, the Space Age is really kicking off at last. As soon as we hear from Beagle 2, we may see Zero-X head for Mars earlier than Gerry Anderson thought! Not...
Dear all, ... Ye-ees... I think the key phrase here is "as soon as we hear from Beagle 2"... Sadly, I think that means "never".... I don't know who thought...
When we hear from... Are you sure it won't be: "THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS......?" Wasn't there an episode where they declared : "Death to the eye...
Ok, so now we know why Captain Black and his crew were so trigger happy. They knew that probes mysteriously vanished. Attempts to explore Mars were dogged by...
Don't give up hope. I hear that Beagle 3 is undergoing tests at this very moment from what resources tell me. Unlike Beagle 2, the Beagle 3 probe has been...
Hmm....space....money...politics. How *do* we get from our pitiful limping along after the 'Giant Leap' to the Fireball XL5 or even UFO technology? It has...

The scientific pattern seems to be that warfare promotes rapid advance in technology. Usually in the form of machines to kill people. There is 'spin off'...

Anybody ever read Robert Heinlein's The Man Who Sold The Moon? It's a great story (what RAH tome isn't) about how tycoon D.D. Harriman privately finances...
Morning, all. ... Is that the novel that formed the basis for 1950's movie, DESTINATION MOON? It's years since I've seen it, but in that, the first manned...
Robin, you've hit the nail right on the head. Perhaps if the Earth were invaded in the XL5 world by some aggresive race (EG: War of the Worlds invaders) the...
.So...this one is called 'Spy In Space' not 'A Spy In Space' as per the Carlton box. Nice to get these titles right. In this story Commander Zero is REALLY...
There are some holes in this story which I'd like to try and find explanations for. The plot seems very sloppy. In part I think this is possibly due to bad...
Nope...I don't think Spirit did get past the Mysterons...They blew it to bits. And then... Two creepy light rings passed over the wreckage and.....a new Spirit...
In my opinion, this episode appears to circulate around Fireball XL9 more than the Space Spies. It certainly seems to stand out amongst other Fireball ships....
Hi Andrew, I think you'll find XL1-Alpha has a single pilot seat. Or at least it did have until Ross pranged the ship. It's nice that these ships have...
Hi Everyone! Just to wish you all a HNY and fortunately I won't have to wait another 58 years as I was lucky enough to win the Jetmobile on ebay just before...
Hi gang, Just got this message from Kez Wilson. Thought you'd be interested. Robin Greetings and Happy New Year to one and all. Okay, so I've been a little...
