Attention All Sections Moonbase Alpha!
It is with pleasure that we are officially announcing the 30th Anniversary
Celebration of "Space: 1999" in the USA! Called EARTHBOUND: 2005, it will

Tampa, Florida. This very special convention will be hosted and headed-up
by Ellen and Michael Lindow, with the assistance of Charlene Scott, Robert
Wood, Anthony Wynn, and others.
"Space: 1999" debuted on worldwide television in 1975. The first
"Space:1999" convention was held in Columbus, Ohio on the last weekend of
July in 1978; the first of 16 gatherings throughout the USA in the years
that followed. EARTHBOUND: 2005 will mark the 17th convention and the
30th anniversary of the classic British science fiction television series.
The main actors from both Series One and Two are being invited to
EARTHBOUND: 2005, and include: Martin Landau, Catherine Schell, Nick
Tate, Prentis Hancock, and Barbara Bain.

reminiscience from any cast member of "Space: 1999" and includes a full
chapter devoted to the series. It will mark his only USA appearance to
promote the book.
EARTHBOUND: 2005 will take place at the Crowne Plaza at Sabal Park

One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps
someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.
