Blast Off with Space: 1999! A voyage into the unknown, echoing through the corridors of time from the 1970s to the far reaches of our imaginations. Space: 1999, a groundbreaking British science-fiction television series from the creators of Thunderbirds. After a catastrophic nuclear explosion on the Moon blasts it out of Earth's orbit, the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha are thrust into a surreal journey across the cosmos.

The crew of Moonbase Alpha must struggle to survive when a massive explosion throws the Moon from orbit into deep space.

I suspect this was a big influence on Chris Roberts.

Awesome!

I can confirm that Chris Roberts is a fan of the Eagle design, in particular.

The main set decorator - (who has since passed away) and frequent Lamont collaborator - on the WC movie worked as assitant art director on this show as well. He had an impressive list of credits including original trilogy Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and a number of James Bond films. I doubt there's much crossover in the look of WC and Space 1999 but it's a fun connection
