Greetings fellow Alphans....
HEHE...Sorry I have been in stasis for a time....
I am working on new MIDIs still...but.
If you want to check out my page, I have done a lillte
manipulating of the Windows 95 opeming screens.
Reload the page 1999.html, and DL the logo.sys file.
Rename any "Logo.sys" file you have to "Logo.bak."
Then copy this file to your C: directory.
When you restart Windows, a flashing "Red Alert" and console
appears! EM me if you have any questions!
Later all!

Hi Alphans-
I've added some filters to the list to weed out common list problems.
Filters are included for attachments, Microsoft Exchange rich text
formatting and the digest title. If the title of a digest appears anywhere
in the subject the post will be bounced from now on. This is to prevent
digest subscribers from just hitting reply and posting an entire digest to

Digest subscribers, if you respond to a certain portion of the digest,
please edit the Subject: line, to not include the digest title. Don't

Hey Marcy,
Ok. The crispness of the Eagle has also bothered me. And I have changed
the screen that will be used. It is of a finer mesh, wich will incress the
resolution of the image. The curent rez is about 45 dpi, the new ones will
be somewhere around 80 dpi. This will solve this problem, so switching
graphics is not needed. But, if a change to linedrawings was to be made, it
would change the entire look of the shirt from photo-representation, to a
cartoon style drawing. If this was to be printed on a white T-Shirt, then a
linedrawing would make sense.
Now, as far as the graphic being shorter..... I think you must have no
torso Marcy!!! :-) I too wear mine tucked in, and the image comes to midway
from neck to belt on me. Now, I am 5' 9", and wear an XL, so....
What size did you order Marcy?? Maybe you need the next size down, so
as to be less nightshirtish. Then again, maybe not pulling your pants up so
high might help as well.....
Once I have the new screens, I am looking at doing a Hawk version for
those who like it as well. I think it makes a great shirt as well. The
graphic will be reversed, with the moon on the right side, and the Hawk on
the left. Just something a little different.
I should have an answer by the end of the week as to a time frame.
Things have hit the fan on a few things, so they must be attended to sooner
rather than later. (Jim, bare with me on your T-Shirt please).
Mr. Merkel has possibley gotten me into a jam with the UFO people, so,
there maybe a UFO Mailing List T-Shirt available soon as well. Hey Phil,
thanks man!! :-). And a Space:Above and Beyond one looks close to happening
as well.
More later...

Subject: More lost 1999 episodes, what can I say? :)
Hi, everyone!
Zoltan's attempt to bait me out of the dark shadows with his "Lost 3rd
Season Episodes" was, well, successful, for lack of a better word.
I've been browsing the Net like a madman for a year and a half now, and
have never found anything like what Zoltan is describing, although I
recently stumbled upon a secret link on the Fanderson (TM) site that led
to a triple-cross-referenced security access screen which, after much
trial and error and a misrepresented phone call to their unsuspecting
secretary to obtain the password code, allowed me entry into the Inner
Sanctum of the Gerry Anderson empire. I was amazed at the seemingly
unending collection of notes, scripts, memos, profiles, budget reports,
treatments, concept sketches, and designs which had been placed on the
secret cyber-archive! Here's a peek at some of the more interesting
stuff...
A. Script ideas, treatments, proposals
1. THE 1999 FILES
Set in the 50th century on Earth, this series would have seen the
descendants of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, Blox Mulder 24.90993 and
Gholda-Yrto Scully 28.33418, attempt to track down and verify the
existence of a people known as the "Alphans" who were supposedly once
blasted out of the Earth's orbit on something called "the Moon". Their
journey through the galaxies takes them on a trail of investigative
intrigue as they attempt to prove or disprove the existence of these
fabled explorers. Each episode would have seen the pair unraveling some
new piece of the Alphan puzzle, for example, by visiting the devastated
remains of the Darian Space Ark, or the devastated remains of the planet
Piri, or the devastated remains of the planet Psychon, or the devastated
remains of the planets Delta, Betha, Terra Nova, Archanon, Planet D,
Astheria, the planets of the Sidon Federation, the worlds once
controlled by the Space Brain, etc... the evidence gradually leading the
two to suspect that the Alphans were a race of crazed genocidal
maniacs...
2. 48 HRS. ON MOONBASE ALPHA
This script featured Eddie Murphy as Technician Jeffrey Miller,
imprisoned within the Detention Wing of Moonbase Alpha until Tony
Verdeschi releases him to help him track down a marauding bug-eyed
monster which has killed several Alphans with Tony's stun-gun. At first
there is tension between the two, which gives way to an uneasy
camaraderie as the two become involved in a deadly chase throughout the
Moonbase, culminating in a shoot-out in an alley in the Chinatown Sector
of the Moonbase, in which Tony finally regains his nerve and shoots the
monster between the eyes. The idea had to be dropped when Eddie Murphy's
agent neglected to respond to the proposal.
3. SPEED: 1999
This sequel to the wild 1994 action-adventure-special-effects movie
would see Keanu Reeves stationed on Moonbase Alpha in the Bomb Squad
wing of the Security department. A cyborged reincarnation of Dennis
Hopper's character, "Techno-Hopper", begins menacing Alpha with a series
of bombs, all of which are successfully defused by Reeves. Techno-Hopper
then plants one aboard Travel Tube Four, and gives Reeves warning that
it will blow up unless he is provided with a long-range Eagle with a
year's supply of protein compounds. Reeves swings into high, and catches
up with the deadly travel tube just as the bomb is activated. Sandra
Bullock also stars as the Alphan who must steer the travel tube out of
the path of the other cars, pregnant mothers, and small children
inhabiting the travel tube tunnels ahead. The proposal was nixed when
Keith Wilson correctly pointed out that because that travel tube system
in unpressurized, having Alphans in there for the speeding travel tube
to hit would be a silly idea.
4. SPACE: 1999 - THE RE-RELEASED VERSION
Spurred on by the popularity of the re-treaded "Star Wars" epics, Gerry
Anderson reportedly plans to augment the 1999 saga for a re-release in
theaters. New, never-before-seen footage will be added, which will
enhance the show for new generations, and present die-hard fans with a
real treat. The changes made will be as follows: In "Breakaway," an
extra ten seconds of footage as Eagle Two lands on the launch pad. In "A
Matter of Life and Death," 'Forrest Gump' technology will be used to
digitally insert a scene in which Koenig has to go to the bathroom
aboard the Eagle on its way to Terra Nova, giving fans their first-ever
view of this important facility. In "Black Sun", Ryan's laser blast will
be colorized to a more vivid orange color. "Earthbound" will have a
completely changed ending... Simmonds, attempting to get free, will
blast his way out of the hibernation case and inadvertently hit the
engineering computer with his laser beam, causing the Caldorian sleeper
ship to explode (This will address one of Gerry Anderson's long-held
views, that there 'simply weren't enough things exploding in the show').
A tribe of fuzzy little 'Bewoks' will be added to "Full Circle" to
improve the cuteness quotient of the episode... and so on and on.
5. SPACE: 1999 - THE ANIMATED SERIES
While never actually produced, conceived, or even thought about, this
proposal apparently does exist in the mind of one fan from Australia,
and if produced, would at this stage be merely a spoken-word performance
of a series of semi-coherent e-mail rants. The 'smart money' says to
keep your eyes peeled for the early definition-work renderings of Maya.
6. BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD DO MOONBASE ALPHA
The long-awaited B&B 'cross-over' may finally happen when the two young
animated brainless wonders come to Moonbase Alpha and wreak havoc while
their frightened Alphan hosts work around the clock to get them back to
Earth. Among the more light-hearted moments are when Butt-head
repeatedly zaps Beavis with a stun-gun until he goes into cardiac
arrest; when Beavis wanders into an Eagle and takes it on a joyride
which ends in the lip of crater Archimedes; when Verdeschi personally
places Butt-head in security confinement for using the term
"fart-knocker" to describe Commander Koenig... well, you get the idea.
6. FARGO: 1999
Frances McDormand reprises her Oscar-winning role as Sheriff Margie in
this sci-fi blockbuster, who investigates Eagle Pilot Jerry Lundegaard
after his plan to kidnap Helena Russell and hold her for ransom turns
into a bloodbath. It's a really good idea... yah, you betcha...

I also found this memo exchange between Gerry Anderson and Brian
Johnson. Worth a glance, maybe.
TO: Brian Johnson
FROM: Gerry Anderson
RE: Eagle Spacecraft
DATE: 8 August 1973
Dear Brian,
I was just doing some thinking the other day, as I was looking over your
drawings for the proposed "Eagle Transporter". Wouldn't it make more
sense to call it something else? I mean, it has four legs, and no wings.
It doesn't really resemble an Eagle at all, does it? Perhaps we should
re-christen it the "Beagle", since it does indeed look more like a dog
than anything else. Sort of fits in with the concept of Charles Darwin's
exploration vessel rather nicely as well. Let me know what you think.
Sincerely,
- - Gerry
TO: Gerry Anderson
FROM: Brian Johnson
RE: Eagle Transporter - name
DATE: 9 August 1973
Gerry -
Yes, "Beagle" is a much more interesting name for a spacecraft. How
silly I am not to have seen it before. Yes, and instead of launch pads,
let's have large, four-story wooden kennels for them to fly in and out
of. And instead of "Main Mission", let's call it "Hound Headquarters",
where the comings and goings of our intrepid crew can be watched on the
big K-9 computer screen. Our "Beagles" could then be refueled in-flight
by simply scooping some delightfully moist Ken-L-Ration into their fuel
bays. When scripts begin coming up short, we could have entire episodes
where the Beagles can be turned loose in the Moonbase's back yard to
fetch sticks and balls. In case the Alphans at Hound Headquarters ever
found themselves in a tight scrape with hostile aliens, they could
simply sic the "Pit Beagle" on them, which is more heavily armed and can
attack the enemy spacecraft by leaping upon them and chewing mercilessly
into their hull. Perhaps there could be an episode where a Beagle brings
mite-like metal parasites to the moonbase, and must be given a bath. And
the navigation signal on the Beagles could be made to sound like a real
barking noise! Impressive idea, Gerry! Should go over real well with the
kids. This is why you're the one who signs the checks, I guess!
Smashing! Splendid! Fantastic!

Hi Alphans-
The old mailing list digests are now available through http at the Cyber
Museum, on the mailing list page. You can also access them directly at
http://www.space1999.buffnet.net/space1999-digest.archive/
The digest archive is now searchable as well. This also can be accessed
directly from the list page.
The digest numbering has been fixed. 8 digests were deleted from the
archive after the crash buffnet had a few weeks ago. These digests,
numbers 38-45, have been replaced, and the second set of 39-45 have been
renumbered to 47-52.
Digest 54 was erroneously sent out as digest number 1 because buffnet
upgraded majordomo to the latest version (at my request because of all the
neat new features) and I didn't realize that I had to restart the digest
numbering. This is also fixed now, and all future digests should generate
correctly.

Ok. I give up. Which episode featured "Planet D?" For some reason I
want to say "Brian the Brain." If I'm correct it will mean there was
one brain cell left that wasn't destroyed by alcohol in college!

Well, David, you're right in saying "Brian the Brain." Planet D was indeed
the planet that Brian left Captain Michael and the rest of the Swift crew
on to die.
Now just don't celebrate your being right by going off and destroying that
one brain cell!

Subject: Space1999: Alphans as role models/inspiration?
Hi, folks...
Okay, I'm not sure why exactly the list has been quiet of late, but I'm
hoping to remedy that by starting a new discussion thread.
Some aspects of this have been discussed before, but here's the question:
Did watching any of the characters in S1999 inspire you to pursue a certain
career, or to aspire to some achievement?
I know that for myself, watching Space: 1999 made me want to go into space
in the worst way. The wonder of space flight and of breaking free of the
Earth's gravity was enthralling to me as an eight-year-old. Soon after the
series aired, a friend and I were making plans to launch our own rockets
that would ferry freight payloads cheaply into space for cash. We
researched where we could buy small rockets and how we could finance this
whole venture. (Okay, so borrowing from friends and parents seemed pretty
appealing; neither of us were swimming in money at that age!)
I also seriously entertained the idea of applying to be an astronaut. But
the fact that I wasn't the greatest in science and that I have some
physical conditions that would preclude me from becoming an astronaut kind
of did in that idea.
While my career has led me into communications and publishing, I still
maintain that the U.S. government should set aside some money for space
exploration. And, if the opportunity presented itself today for a civilian
such as myself to ride on the Space Shuttle, you can bet that I'd be first
in line!
What about you?

Subject: Space1999: OT: Solar Flare
WASHINGTON (AP) - A wave of energy from a solar flare moved toward the Earth
today, but scientists said it was only moderate in size and probably would
not disrupt radios or phones, electric power or satellites.
A very large solar flare can disrupt radio and telephone communications,
cause power surges and blackouts and damage satellites. The last such major
event was in 1989. Federal scientists said the the recent solar flare is the
fourth this year and there is no indication that it will cause problems.
Joe Hirman of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's space
weather office in Boulder, Colo., called it ``rather ordinary.'' Satellite
operators were routinely notified, but officials said it would take a larger
event to affect orbiting equipment.
``The effects will be almost none,'' said David Speich of the NOAA space
weather forecast center.
Scientists were excited about the flare, which erupted Monday, because for
the first time, it was captured by a NASA satellite, the new SOHO. The
instruments gave the first view of a blob of matter lifting from the sun and
a shock wave.
The new NASA satellite detected a wave moving across the gaseous surface of
the sun ``like a tsunami tidal wave,'' NASA's Art Poland said. ``That's the
first time we have seen the shock wave.''
Poland said the satellite also detected a mass of material ejected from the
sun and moving outward at about 1.8 million miles an hour.
When material from large flares hit the planet's electromagnetic field, they
cause it to ``wiggle,'' said Alan MacRobert, associate editor of Sky &
Telescope magazine. That can affect telecommunications and radio waves.
One positive aspect to the flare: ``We might get a good display of Northern
Lights out of this,'' he said.
``There's been an interest for a long time in being able to predict solar
flares,'' MacRobert noted. ``In the last 11 years, we have become more
dependent on electronic gadgetry and things in orbit.''
But Speich said that satellite designers have known about this problem for
years and that most spacecraft are well shielded.
NASA's Poland said the exact energy released by the flare would not be known
until late today when geomagnetic radiation from the storm will reach the
Earth.
The space shuttle Columbia would not have had to return home because of the
solar flare since the spaceship is shielded against radiation, said NASA
spokesman Kyle Herring. He pointed out that there are three men aboard the
Russian space station Mir, and they're not coming home because of the solar
flare.
Speich said that in the more than a decade Mir has been aloft, there have
been much more powerful flares and there have been no problems.
This solar flare holds special fascination for scientists because it occurred
during a relatively quiet time on the sun, and for the first time there were
satellite instruments that detected the movement of matter during the flare.
Solar flares put out a number of types of radiation that is measured. This
helps to estimate the amount of energy produced and aids experts in
forecasting the effect on Earth.
Hirman said the flare was ``at the lower end of the scale'' in X-rays and
``not very strong at all in radio frequencies.''
Also, he said, the explosion of material from the sun was pointed mostly away
from the Earth, which means that only a small amount of the geomagnetic
radiation will reach the planet.
Although the sun is now rather quiet, Hirman said that in about three years,
there will be many flares every day on the sun. He said this occurs during
Solar Maximum, the period of major activity in the sun's 11-year cycle of
flares.
``During solar max we won't even be able to see a flare this size,'' said
Hirman, referring to Monday's event. ``There will be so many larger flares
that we couldn't detect this one. There will be much larger flares than this
every day.''

Subject: Space1999: MAN IN SPACE, CULTS AND YEAR 2 STILL SUCKS
The U.S. Goverment is run by politicians who want to
eventually cut earned income credit which would take
more money from my children towards food and clothing.
The simple truth is that manned space flight is terribly
expensive and the money can be put to better use here
on earth before we leap to the stars, which is unfeasible
for a while anyway, except for the Moon and Mars.
NASA has continued to send probes out and found ways
to do it more cost effectively. Like the George Pal movie
Destination Moon, man's leap into space could be
a profitable one made by individual corporations; the
taxpayers of this country are tired of paying more and
getting less. When I was a child I had a much more
innocent perspective and certainly thought we would have
a lunar base by 1999. At least there's a flag, a lunar cart
and some golf balls up there.
As to your comments on the list being quiet, I think you'll
find people became afraid of openly speaking, and then being
spammed by legions of cultish types. A matter of weeks
before the suicide chumps chased a comet's tail I was
being constantly spammed by people referring to me
sometimes as one of the "ungrateful children" and so on.
I fought back and held MY ground; yes, my right to speak
my mind, but after clearing spam from my computer day
after day I backed off, realizing how sick some of these
people were. Sick people don't like to hear that; it
threatens their self-made pseudo-realities and
single-mindedness, just like trying to break someone
from a cult. I myself started to take the list too seriously.
Since I have not posted in a while, I surely cannot now be
blamed, as I was a month ago, for driving people away.
Some of you smart saps know when to get up and
enjoy a spring day.
Another example of rules getting out of hand:
Yesterday I went to BLOCKBUSTER to rent PEE WEE'S
BIG ADVENTURE and was told by the manager that
Christian Coalition groups had gotten to the CEO with
complaints about PEE WEE and so the CEO decided
to pull all PEE WEE movies and tv shows from the shelves.
I couldn't believe it. Paul Reubens created so much, that
for lack of a better word, was creative; perfect material for
children of all ages.
Oh, and by the way, after 20 years I have now seen most
of Year 2 1999 and found it little better than Lost In Space.
It's some of the best unintentional humor I've watched.
I hope the folks at Mystery Science Theater 3000 can
get a hold of a made-for-tv movie made from Year 2
episodes.

Yes there was at least one from the first season of MST3K. They attacked
cosmic princess movie which is a compilation of the episodes The Metamorph
and Space Warp.
Its pretty funny but season one MST3K's are very primitive.
I'm still looking for the other Anderson shows they did (I think they did a
Scarlet or a Thunderbirds movie too but am not sure)
As for season two being lousey, it is what it is and its different things to
different people. I'm not sure which season I like the best yet as I am
still reviewing some tapes made for me off uncut laser disks but i know a
turkey when I spot one!
I did find that some episodes of 1999 (Either season) and UFO are the
perfect sleep inducer for wives and cranky babies! This is a use for these
two shows I never dreamed of when I first became a fan years ago!

Cool!
This is certanly an interesting time astronomically, with Hale-Bopp,
Shoemaker Levy-9, Solar Flares, and (microscopic) life on Europa!
All I can say is: "Wow!"

Does anyone on the list have a copy of this. I will gladly

dear ALPHANS,
Yes, MST3K did have space1999 movie cosmic princess.they
did make fun
of that movie.it was not in the first season of mst3k on comedy
central.it was on
the KTMA shows they used to do before they whent to CC.a station in
minnisoda
was ktma. i have the ktma mst3k cosmic princess episode but the quality
of it is
not clear but its a good watchable copy.i own tons of mst3k shows on
tape ktma
and CC and some sci fi channel ones.
thank you
