Starships

[Lieutenant Kelowitz]

A rather uncanny resemblance to the star cruiser C-57D, which landed
on Forbidden Planet Altair IV, yes?

Yeah, The Twilight Zone ripped off a lot of leftover props, costumes, robots, and yes - the C-57D starcruiser from Forbidden Planet.

TZ's "On Thursday We Leave For Home" episode (below) used recycled Forbidden Planet uniforms



But so did Lost In Space, as shown here:



Even props from 2001: A Space Odyssey got recycled and used as background junk in a Star Wars movie, as with this space pod:

of these space-faring dreams.

Purely by accident I happened to stumble
upon this image of the "Death Star" from the well-known
franchise. That puppy is quite a bit more sized that I
previously image - but here it is - using the state of
Florida as a backdrop. A little too close to South Carolina
for my comfort!

That's like a fisherman with a 12" trout holding it out at arm's length in front of him to make it seem huge in comparison to himself.
