I was a 10 year old back in 1965, watching with wide-eyed wonderment at this incredible sequence on a 19 inch BW tv. The shots of the Jupiter II swooping over the alien landscape. The oh-so-cool engine sounds. The music. I was totally blown-away! It still amazes me today all these years later.

Over the last 3 years, re-watching the show for the first time in decades, on DVD, I was repeatedly surprised by JUST HOW GOOD an actor Jonathan Harris could be, with the right material. At some point, Irwin Allen gave him free rein to write his own dialogue-- which means, I'm pretty sure-- he ALSO wrote the Robot's dialogue-- and note, the Robot ALWAYS got the best lines in any episode, once he developed a human personality. (Smith was the "Abbott" to the Robot's "Costello" in that comedy duo.) But I REALLY wish someone had, from time to time, told Harris "NO" when he went TOO FAR.

I would have loved to have been in the studio to see the orchestra recording the dramatic music for this scene, simply thrilling to listen to.

One of my favourite episodes and scenes from any sci fi show . The music was so perfect for this series

I’m 61 and still pals with a guy I’ve known since kindergarten who I watched this show with religiously! We still talk about it.. The good ol days….

This was a great special effects scene for its time. But with a limited budget they often reused this scene, played in reverse, to show the Jupiter 2 blasting off from a planet 😉

One of my favorite all time SciFi TV shows as a young kid, still is Today! Good actors, music, story, and stage props. Irwin Allen was a genius. I also like Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

This musical score & engine sound effects to this show was so great. I had the privilege of meeting Mark Goddard in the 90's and he was the nicest guy. I wish they stayed serious and did not go the campy root. As a child I loved this show.

Having the sound of the engines works a lot.

It was different, but the original is best.

June Lockhart and Mark Goddard had good chemistry acting in this Jupiter 2 crash landing, I believe this is the episode that earned Ms. Lockhart her Emmy nomination?

Neither Smith nor the Robot were in the original pilot. The network execs thought the series needed an antagonist, and so Smith was added. Jonathan Harris said in an interview that he slipped in comedic moments and Irwin Allen liked it. Then the show just went campy trying to emulate Batman, which had high ratings at the time. The show was basically ruined by that, as was "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.," which did the same thing. Very sad, I think.
