September 13, 1999: The Lunar nuclear waste dumps explode, blasting the Moon out of orbit and into deep space.

According to Gerry Anderson's Space: 1999, anyway!

This is scary. I was watching this show before many of you were born. And now here it is, 1999. It seemed such a long way away back then. . .

A fascinating site, I might add.

I hear ya talkin'.

Does anyone besides me remember UFO or The Starlost?

And I'm still waiting for my flying car. I hope it gets here before I'm too senile to appreciate it!

I don't remember Starlost, but UFO, oh yeah, and Moon Base Alpha. The only show that didn't put sound in space.

There is no moon! You're all imagining things!

Besides, the Johns almost pushed the button to either A) erase the moon from history or B) set off the bomb in the Man's head, exploding the moon.

cool site: glad they mentioned Mister Plissken, but I notice they seem to have left out Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Land of the Giants, both of which took place in the dazzling high-tech world of the mid-80's.

I mean, will have taken place. No, did would going to happened. Would-will might else to been.
----------------------------------------

For the past few years, I've been dreading 13 September 1999 as a potentially very unhappy day---

As a little boy, I loved this weird new "sci-fi" show called Space 1999, thought it was the coolest thing ever...and one day did the math of how old I would be in the far away year 1999.

I remember standing on the street corner just two blocks from school when I realized...Wow, I'll be really old. I tried to imagine what that would be like, what I would be like.

Now it's just days away, and I've gotta say, this isn't what I had in mind. The future ain't what it used to be, and that single moment of youthful optimism {rich with opportunity that will never come again} haunts me every year in mid-September. This year worst of all.

Gotta love Space: 1999, if only to collapse into hysterics at every feeble attempt at technobabble preceded by a wary "Oooo, I dunno John...!"

Don't feel bad Xen, I turn 40 next year, and it's not what I thought it would be either.
