Star Command (1996)

Star Command  is a 1996 made-for-TV film originally intended as a television pilot.  A little look of it online, will make it quite clear, quite quickly, just why it never got picked up.  It does, however, feature these which are quite nice and seem to be the same as the suits used in another TV movie of the 90's; Plymouth (1991)





Cheers for the find, Tim

The Astronaut (1972)

The ABC movie of the week from 1972.

After an astronaut dies on Mars, the government space agency tries to hide it by convincing a washed out pilot to submit to plastic surgery and take his place.

Thanks once again Tim

Murder In Space (1985)

I like Michael Ironside but not enough to sit through this twice.  Poster is alright though isn't it.

High Moon (2014)

This was originally the pilot episode of a TV show that never made it into full production but was later resurrected as a TV movie


Set in the future where the countries of Earth have established colonies to mine the Moon's resources. When a new life form is discovered, chaos erupts as various factions race to uncover and exploit its powerful secrets.
It's got some fairly harsh reviews however I think I might find the time to give it a watch as it's based on John Christopher’s 1969 young adults novel The Lotus Caves and I'm something of a fan of the author's work.
Anyone out there who has seen this and wishes to stop me wasting my time, speak up now.

However good it may not be, I do like the look of these orange suits and their force field / special effect visors.  As well as a nod towards the 70's, there's something a bit Tintin about them
