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

Is anyone else absolutely in love with the engine sound effects?

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!!!!!!!!!

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

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!!

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.

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

I always love the background music and the starting of the Jupiter 2 atomic engines during liftoff!

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.

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.

I am so glad that this did not have Dr. Smith's screaming for the first episode pilot during lift off. This was wonderfully edited.

Coolest sound around!

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.

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 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.

Awesome! I remember it like it was yesterday.....watching that liftoff and being memorized. You've made it so much more dramatic with the music etc. Excellent job!

Awesome in Color .. Please color the whole first season It's poignant and Sweet to see the Robinson family In Color .

This looks amazing. The combination of a high-definition print with the added professional colorization reveals how much work went into the design of the ship's interior. The sound effects were incredible. This program had some of the best incidental music EVER.

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

Love how you did the color in it.

Great video David! Excellent work! I really enjoyed this. I was a 60s kid and this really brings back wonderful memories.

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!

Coolest engine sound in scifi ever...B9, COOLEST BOT EVER. !

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

Lost in Space, Star Trek and the Herculoids were my favorite shows.

My favorite show back in the day

Even today I’d still rate it the best launch scene I’ve ever seen…

Well done! Excellent stereo immersive audio effect. I love the sound of the Jupiter 2 engines.

Thanks to everyone who replied and especially the sound tech guys for explanation and experience you shared!

If only season 1 was in color .... Fantastic job 😍😍😍

They improved on the take off and landing in the last year, making it sound out of this world cool.

I used to live for this show when I was a kid in the 70s. No way to record it back then.

I am 68 years old I have been in love with the sound of that engine ever since I heard it

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

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!

Everyone's in love with the J2's atomic engine sound, but, during the launch, it rises into a scream that we never hear again on the show, sadly.

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.

I've seen some bad colorizing and this looks really great!

Loving the coloured version

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

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

I was so excited when I saw this on TV as a kid. Of course it was in black and white, but who cares...so good!

That's just amazing in full color! That series had SUCH potential! It's such a shame Irwin Allen didn't like science and allowed it to become the "Dr. Smith Show". Under better production, this could have rivaled Star Trek!

Just love this. Background music

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.

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 .😍😘😊😊.

Wonderful, thanks

This is very first time I have seen the 1st series / Pilot episode in Colour and its totally FAB. The engine sound effect is also one of those sounds you never forget...I have it on an Irwin Allen 6 x CD box set. Have you got the whole episode in colour ?? Thank you for uploading this :)

I liked the 2 level Jupiter 2, it looked more user friendly. Star drive engine sounds great.

This is the first Redition of j2 with bigger main windows and more bottom taper on hull

That is soooo cool! 👍

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

Oh how I really wanted to live in that spceship

Beautiful

I like this take-off version better, but I think that's the Gemini 12. Personally, I like the Jupiter 2 best.

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

I've always thought that model was screwy there cannot possibly be enough room for there to be a lower deck on it.

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

Fantastic

Good stuff. Dramatic.

Nothing else had that sound. Luv it😎✌️✌️

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.

LONG LIVE THE JUPITER 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks great in color.

With ya Tom , Of all the engine effects , this is my favorite

Maureen had to look fabulous with her false eyelashes for the multi year journey..great video, I've never seen it colorized .

Bravo!!!

Loved That Sound.

The engine sound was also used for the bat cave in the Batman series in 1965-68

Wow!!. Season 1 in color !!!

Mezzerised and transfixed this former 8 year old when Lost In Space first premiered in September 1965. All the while thinking I will be a old man of 40 when the Jupiter 2 lifts off in that faraway year of 1997.

GREAT

I get goose bumps every time I hear those Atomic Motors engaging!!!

So goood

Captivating

The adventure begin !!

The color is amazing

銀色の宇宙服が「未来」だった時代の私の大好きなＳＦドラマです！ 今観てもワクワクするなあ！

Holeeeee that sound!! Oh my goodness this gets to me!!

Colorized!

The Jupiter 2 is the coolest flying saucer ever. 😊

Penny Penny Oh my god Penny😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

LOVE THOSE ENGINE SOUND EFFECTS

I love it. Wasn't this sound used in Time Tunnel?

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.

Monday night @7.30pm in Australia. Monday could never come around quick enough in 66 for us kids :)

What a wonderful re-engineering of the original! And where did you get the colorized footage? It looks amazing!

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

everyone was in suspended animation except for stowaway saboteur Dr. Smith and this is why his brain was affected and he started acting CRAZY.....

I remember watching it when it first came on the first run

In COLOR

Hi David, Is the colourized pilot episode available to purchase seperately? If not I guess it's just a matter of time before it is.

I was always perplexed that they never explained that the guidance systen in the center rises up into the bubble at the the top (which un can see in the top bubble as it get ready to lift off....).also how it does it do that, since there is not structure above or below it that helps it to do so.

If anyone asks why we don't see Dr. Smith and the Robot, it's because only the pilot without them was (recently) colorized thusfar.

June Lockhart was,so hot in the silver suits...

Recuerdo cuando era niño demasido fanatico de la serie en mi casa no teniamos tv , iva donde una tia a ver la serie ella muy amablemente me sintonizaba el canal , aunque a ella no le agradava la serie 😂😂😂 cada ves que llegaba a su casa notaba en su cara su desagrado como diciendo ¡¡ otra vez no!😂😂

I u ften dreamed I was part of the family on the Jupiter 2

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
