Watching episode 9 volume 3 of UFO mega set entitled Ordeal when Foster walked into that party with the Beatles playing and everybody looking like they had steped out of a Austin Powers movie I was like OMG if the futures like that wow then I grew up and discovered how wrong I was but any how they did have cool clothes, I understand many folks may think me a techno-geek but I have been taking apart the tech on sci-fi shows since I was able to read the trek tech pubs I always did think that many of the craft designs that Gerry created had there bases in fact. Take 0X for example you have a long range interplanetary craft thats launched by use of a lifting body I do believe it was Von Brahm or Willy Lee that came up with a design close to 0X.
  In UFO we have SkyDiver while sky one was not the first flying sub so to speak we can thank Irwin Allen for that. I do remember seeing plans to a flying sub in a popular science or popular mechanics magazine. Well I have written enough any other Techno-Geeks who wants to talk e-mail me
