For me as a principle research scientist within the space industry for 30+ years I can simply underline one basic thing: From my point of view no other space vehicle shown in any movie or TV series has ever reached this technical level of being realistic as these eagles. I am pretty sure that - if required - a real device would look very similar to this design. This opinion is also based on the versatile modularity of the eagle's equipment (containers, crane support, etc.). Really good stuff what they designed wayback in the 70ies ! My compliments.

+worldbestpilot I, too, absolutely LOVE the Eagle design. However, I do see a couple problems with it. The first: fuel and reaction mass (okay, that's two). While a craft designed like the Eagle would be capable of operating in, say, an asteroid arena, the lack of reaction mass storage makes me suspect that they'd never sustain a burn long enough to actually launch from the moon. The second: the show regularly had the Eagle operate in an atmosphere. In addition to the aforementioned fuel and reaction mass problem, there's the problem with streamlining and aerial stability, especially during atmospheric interface. The poorpbird would burn up on entry and could never get up enough speed to exit.

i was born in 1970 5 yrs old when Space was premiered on American tv. and the Egale was the most realistic ship i have ever seen. it looks like something NASA would build so the Egale is why i am a sci fi fan to this day. if nasa built a real onr iam sure it would fly through space and survive reentry. especially with a fly by wire system

A starfury from babylon 5 was closer to an actual space craft, given the placement of the thrust. People associated with NASA very briefly expressed interest in the design as a 'forklift'.

Mike, Thanks for the memories of being 9 yrs old again! I loved the show, but the Eagles were by far my favorite part! I used to make my own toys that were not available in stores from stuff I'd find at home. I used to slightly flatten an empty TP roll and add the landing gear pods and nose section made from tin foil. I covered the whole thing with white cloth hospital tape. I'd use a marker pen to draw the narkings on to finish a pretty neat little model. Thanks again for posting this tribute!

In response to admillnx6, I believe the reason you kept seeing "Eagles 1 through 6" even when they got blown up or destroyed is this: Notice that there were never visible numbers on the outside of the hulls. I don't think Eagles were assigned permanent numbers or designations. I think they were instead assigned numbers by launching sequence or readiness to be launched. In other words - whichever one happened to be on the pad ready to launch first, THAT one was designated "Eagle 1" for that duty rotation shift. The next one to be readied for take-off would be Eagle 2, etc, etc. If an Eagle was number 4 in the readiness queue but Command decided to refit it with a different equipment pod and launch it with Eagle 1, then that's how it went. So no Eagle ever had a permanent designation.

Of course ,that being said, it is a design I have come to really like, and I feel I was very fortunate to have been a young lad (10-ish , I figure )....and seen these beauties onscreen "live" if you will...every Saturday at 5:00...me and my brothers would gather to watch....I miss those times very much.

The model was a close up one as well (over a meter long) and just so fantastically detailed. CGI will never match the skill and sheer detail of the hand made models. This should be remade! NOT with CGI nonsense though.. The Eagles should soar again!

This show was wonderful, and a bit terrifying when I was a kid. The Eagles were cool, and realistic space craft designed for the vacuum of space. The show misused the model when depicting trans-atmospheric flight. This craft would need to restrict it's airspeed, and generate an impressive amount of continuous delta v to avoid burning itself up. As I remember, the main engines were nuclear, but the lift engines were chemical. Nevertheless, I believe these ships greatly influenced future sci-fi movies, and tv shows. The show's producers should have avoided American tampering of it's production. The first season did well in showcasing how bloody dangerous life was for the people of Moon Base Alpha. I love your tribute though. What a memorable machine. Even as a kid, I knew that Alpha was doomed. The story was so heroic, they refused to quit trying to survive. In many ways, the Alphans were becoming good at it. So I watched in facination, tempered by horror. The transition to the second season was awkward, too many unanswered questions. Nevertheless some season 2 episodes were pretty good. Wouldn't a good movie still be a good idea?

I've always wondered how they boarded a 'freighter' eagle (one that moves the nuclear pods) as every time you see them board an eagle it's a transport type with the 'porta cabin' under it and the walkway tube connected to it. The freighter eagle has the door to the cockpit blocked by the load it's carrying.
