Spaceman, Statesman, and a guy who always knew where to get Tang ;)
and a link to a PSA for volunteering from 2002 featuring John Glenn and Bob Dole- a bit young to truly be vintage, but gosh-darn it, I always loved this ad from back in the twilight days of bi-partisanship

Around the same time 'Message From Moonbase Alpha' was being filmed, Johnny Byrne and Christopher Penfold attempted to revive the franchise as a movie series, similar to the way Star Trek had been revived cinematically in the late 1970s. The first film would have picked up the story several years after the series ended, and would have featured a heavily redesigned Moonbase Alpha. Ultimately the project failed, and nothing came of it.[34]
In February 2012, ITV Studios America and HDFILMS officially announced their intention to produce a reimagining of Space: 1999, to be titled Space: 2099.[35]
...an announcement was made by Network in November 2014 of an Autumn 2015 release of the restored Complete Season 2 on DVD and Blu-ray. As part of this announcement, Network released a limited edition (of 1999 copies) of a special preview disc of the two-part story "The Bringers of Wonder" for release on the 8 December 2014. This release also contains a restored version of the feature length Destination: Moonbase Alpha.[38]( TWO MORE )
