Have you ever watched 'Space 1999'? No? You really should.
Another iconic spacecraft in the series was the"Moon Mobile". A cross between a tank and truck, these were the primary surface transport vehicles for the crew of"Moonbase Alpha". , these vehicles were designed in part from his previous work on other Gerry Anderson productions and hints about their capability from the script.
Many of the other spacecraft, apart from the alien ships, followed a similar design concept as the ships already mentioned. Partly inspired by NASA, and partly by the needs of the plot in the series, their design process was somewhat similar to real spacecraft today. Of course, the designers were only really concerned with their external look and didn't need to get into the nitty-gritty of many of their subsystems, or have any systems that actually worked.
