Very cool. Knew most of them. Great to see them next to each other. I had forgotten the dyson sphere though.

Interesting. Hadn’t heard of many of them but did notice one omission and from a UK production was surprising; Liberator from Blake’s 7. Would have been nice to have seen a couple more ships from 2001: A Space Odyssey including the circular space station. We’ll done though.

That was missing as well as the moon from Space 1999. (Well, they did include Wandering Earth).

Space 1999 Eagle transporters also absent I think. Awesome to watch regardless.

Jupiter 2 also missing as well as Spindrift although the latter was only a sub-orbital transport.

Great series of books. Didn’t realize it had been made into a movie or tv show. I think all the craft in the video were from movies, tv or video games.

Edit: turns out this series was featured in video/computer games.
