YES!!! I worked as a sound editor at Fox during the '80s. During my slow times I tried to find all the Lost in Space sound effects. I was never able to find the airlock door motor sound, and I wasn't able to find the clickety clack robot idle for his bubble top. But I did find the engine sound. It was labeled in the science fiction section as "Hickey's Spaceship.". No other information and certainly no data about what was used to create that sound. Even as a professional sound editor I've never been able to truly track down how they created that multitrack harmonic pitch progression for the engines, especially with the recording technology of the time. (I believe you can hear a little bit of that sound effect on the Outer Limits episode THE BOARDERLAND towards the end of that episode, when the power generators come online again.) But the thing to remember is that multitrack recording was in its very early infancy back then. Studios had three track magnetic film recorders for final dubbing, and the recording studios had half inch three-track tape. That was about it. And to create that layered sound required pitch adjustment and other techniques that I honestly don't know how they did back in that analog era was such primitive equipment. Nonetheless I think it's the most brilliant sound effect I've ever heard.

The most memorable lift-off of any Sci-fi spacecraft ever. Love the sound and the visuals.

Even after 57 YEARS (yea-I'm OLD) that lift off still sends chills down my spine...loved the show as a kid, still love it as an old dude! BEST Space Ship sound effects EVER!!!!!!!!!

You're not old! I was 6 years old when it premiered on tv. It was a great show with the exception of some really bad scripts, but I watched every episode anyway. I am a die hard fan and still watch it to this day. I did see watch the original LIS movie and enjoyed it, but anything after that, I refused to watch. For Christmas in 1968, I was surprised see that I got a styrofoam spaceship of the Jupiter 2 plus...an operational replica of the chariot. It was so cool! It was battery operated and rode along a plastic tubing it would travel on up to 25 feet. It came with plastic fittings that would allow it to do u-turns or whatever. My older brother and I were in one room, and my other two brothers were in a room across the hall. We would put notes inside the chariot and our brothers would send notes back to us. I wish my father didn't get rid of it when we moved. That would definitely be a collector's item today.

As a kid, about 10 years old, this was just the most amazing and exciting thing on television, not just because of the fantastic sets and ( initially) the stories, for me, it was imagining myself as being one of the kids, in a SAUCER!!!, going into those sliding glass tunes, flying through space, the dangers and adventures of surviving on an alien world, tooling around in that wonderful family rv, so many drawings trying to create adventures of my own, this was the best, most exciting show for young impressionable minds

Spot on analysis of the lis appeal for single digit kids, the wonder and adventure aspects. Of course once I was more than 10yo, the cheesy plots and dialog and bad science and physics wore thin. Luckily there was Trek and star Wars to move on to. But Lots of nostalgia for lis, and still appreciate the general production values and hardware and set designs

Agreed. The first five episodes in particular are very good science fiction. I think the space ship crash in the third episode is actually better than the saucer crash in "Star Trek Generations". Too bad the show degenerated into Dr. Smith running around shouting "Help me! I'm turning into a carrot" just before he.....turned into a carrot. Or was it celery?

The engine sounds are my absolute all time favorite sound effect! And I wish they had done that glow effect more often. It is sooo Cool!!

Man what a great liftoff sequence. The colors really stand out. June Lockhart is what incredibly beautiful woman and she looks absolutely amazing here in color.

I not only love the the sound of the space craft but the music as well, it has the perfect crescendo of anticipation and danger.

Nothing else to this day compares to that lift off! , the sound and visuals of a man made saucer using antigravity propulsion , glowing as it powers up! No one dared to use the idea of flying saucer tech and design in any modern tv show or movie . They Always relied on some form of rocket propulsion... this show was Bold and daring in its premise

I like how you colorized this scene. I remember it in black and white.

The music and the sound effects were literally a starring character in the show.

A very young and talented John Williams.

Being shipwrecked on an alien planet for most of the season, engines dead and then start of the new season as they finally prepare to lift off, hearing those powerful atomic engines slowly start to riv up and finally come to life again. As a kid this was truly awesome. My favorite sound effect.

Coolest sound around!

The b&w version offers more dramatic atmosphere, bringing out that beautiful diffused lighting effect. It evokes Fritz Lang's Metropolis a little bit. I really love the look of those early shows; of what I like to call historical tv - breakthroughs in terms of the era. LOS, for ex., was just a couple of years after NASA's first manned orbit. Both early in the years of American tv and the space program.

I'm with you. The b&w cinematography in many of those season one episodes is outstanding. Seeing it on BluRay has been a revelation.

I would argue that the shows real significance was more with its cultural influence than just entertainment value, it would've been the first time many of us kids heard about certain technologies and theories about technologies, which we immediately looked up in our Encyclopedia set.

Our teacher would ask us to write on the board whatever Dr. Smith called the Robot that week. I would never have known what "cantankerous" or "automaton" meant. Later in my broadcast career, I would use alliterations, which became popular. I thanked Mr. Harris in person at a show in LA. What a true gent he was! Nincompoop was my favourite. Tin Plated Traitor was a close second....

The first season was great, but after that it just became the Dr.Smith show.

That's because Jonathan Harris changed it. If you notice it was a much more serious show when it began, which centered around Guy Williams, the primary star at the time. Jonathan Harris wasn't satisfied with his limited "villain" role (he was scheduled to be kill off), so he rewrote the character. After that, most of the series centered around the adventures of Dr. Smith, Will Robinson and the robot. Most of the one-liners, and insults names for the robot Harris invented.

This beautiful cut what's the Gemini before it became Jupiter 2 it's so tight and perfect. I remember thinking June Lockhart had a beautiful figure and perfect makeup. In the pilot I believe John gave her a very long kiss as she stepped in the tube which I'm sure back in 1960 when was pretty racy. But it did establish that they were in love married and ready to go into space. I love when professor Robinson teases Will with a little fake punch.. a very Dad thing to do. Also when you think about the fact that the designer of the show decided to go with a flying saucer when we were just doing rockets at the time was ahead of its time... In the first episode with dr. Smith I remember Loving to see the second-level via the elevator... I love how you just by hitting buttons something on this ship would move pop out or activate. I felt as a kid this was a real spaceship because it looked real. John Williams scores are absolutely brilliant they build emotion and excitement but the sound effects of the engine is really amazing. I love the sound of Jupiter 2 makes when it's flying in space. The beautiful colorization gives it a beautiful nostalgic touch especially the gold and silver cryogenic units behind the freezing tubes. Also it's very interesting that the two chairs are not seen and that the panels for the controls flip inside out like a laptop. Because it's Gemini only was one deck I wonder where the Robinsons actually would have slept or ate on this one deck only ship. Second-level galley so well-designed and so were the staterooms although the beds look mattresses look mighty thin. I always wondered who slept with who And where does the bathroom actually exist on the Jupiter 2? The outside shot of the Gemini from the top looking down into the viewport is actually a beautiful shot not seen in the first episode. The ship in the meteor storm after this is my favorite scene.

I thought the original was shot in B&W. This looks amazing!

When people call a spaceship a Flying Saucer, nothing looked more like one than the Jupiter 2.

One of my favourite shows of all time, this take off was one of those iconic moments I'll never forget. Great job of editing and enhancing the sound! I always thought LIS had one of the best soundtracks of any TV show. You could cut the tension with a knife as the ship gears up for take off!

I don't know who colorized this but they did a great job. It's beautiful!

OUTSTANDING work! I like the color, music/liftoff sound mix...AWESOME!

90 years is a long time to be on your feet!

I Love that saucer spaceship it can really get it flying through space and I Love to see it take off and I Love the sound of the engines .😍😘😊😊.

I agree totally

I loved this series and the Toronto symphony did the Jupiter 2 engine sound as an introduction to the theme song. I was blown away.

I miss this show so much I grew up with it yah .

It was like America's own TARDIS: bigger on the inside than it was on the outside. Where was the lower deck supposed to be? Who knows? And, there was even a deck for the engines below that, although I only recall seeing it once. God knows where it carried its fuel, and the "chariot," and all the other stuff they ended up dragging outside.

When I first saw this yesterday, by chance, I took the liberty of putting the hyper-link on the two 'LiS' FB groups I belong to, and I notice that the vid has gotten 90 additional views in the last 24 hours - deservedly so - for my part, I was also impressed by the sound-scape layers of Jupiter 2 engine-sounds created here, which unlike the original episode are not interrupted by John Williams' otherwise awesome music, or anything else, and the inclusion of a brief rocket-exhaust sound in the 'mix', as the Jupiter lifts off from the pad is an excellent touch.

Those earliest scenes were some glorious scifi, without a hint that the show would devolve into a silly farce.

Oh how I really wanted to live in that spceship

They should Colorize the first Season of Lost In Space. It would be Awesome.

Looks like footage from the original unaired pilot episode, "No Place To Hide", with no Dr. Smith and no Robot. Irwin Allen's production team added Smith and the Robot after CBS rejected the original pilot. The reworked premiere episode broke up "No Place To Hide" across the first three (or four) aired episodes of Season One in black & white.

It is the beginning that made the show so great that it was the first to do it before anyone else got to do it to have a family to go out into space that got to people to think of the future because it is a family is doing it some day in the future that anyone can do it

The adventure begin !!

nice editing and sound, I'm always disheartened when they put that rotating dish scanner or whatever it is instead of the Astrogator extending up through the dome. but that's just me, I know later in the show it went to rotating (sometimes lol) lights
