Lon Satton[edit]

I've heard that Satton wanted to much money to reprise his role. Which is correct? Douglasnicol 18:23, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unless someone is willing to provide a source, anything else is speculation and has no place in this article per both WP:TRIVIA and WP:BLP. 23skidoo 05:00, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does the reference satisy you? Douglasnicol 17:31, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Scientific Errors"[edit]

"Scientific Errors"? Folks, this is Space: 1999. What possible use is a "scientific errors" section? It's like having a "theological errors" section for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The entire show is nonsense from a scientific point of view. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeanWillard (talk • contribs) 10:29, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Space:1999 gets much ridicule for its 'errors', though other sci-fi shows are just as guilty, it doesn't seem right to single out one show. Douglasnicol (talk) 18:49, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed that section and pasted it below. It's unreferenced and not notable. --Duncan (talk) 13:28, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are errors with the phases of the Moon in this episode, even for a four-day period. There are also shots of Eagle craft approaching the Moon from very far out, with the Earth in the background, as if the Eagle was approaching the Earth-Moon system from deep space. September 9 was a new moon, therefore, Earth should have been full, with the Eagle approaching with a full Earth in the background and a totally dark near-side of the Moon. Four days later, Earth should have been a waning gibbous phase, while the Moon would be a waxing crescent. The waste disposal site would have to be somewhere between 90 and 130 degrees East longitude in order to accelerate the Moon out of orbit.

Plot summary[edit]

The plot summary is over 2,000 words long, which is absurd. See WP:TVPLOT. 64.124.27.3 (talk) 02:53, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
