As a child of the 70's I grew up with Commander John Koenig and Dr. Helena Russell. I was one who truly believed that by the year 1999 we would have a permanent base on the moon accessible to all, but such was not to be. The dreams of a future where space travel was common place was replaced with bloated social programs and endless wars. Watching this short clip brought back the memory of those childhood dreams, of the future could have, no, SHOULD HAVE been, a future that was snatched from the hands of my generation. As I wiped a tear from my eye I wonder, was I weeping for Space 1999 and Moonbase Alpha or was my sorrow for what we could have have had?
