My favorite movie from 1966 the Orion spaceship, German film series!
Space Patrol Orion in English, was the first German science fiction television series. Its seven episodes were broadcast by ARD from 17 September

And I first heard of that orchestra from this music, for an
infamous pseudo-scientific "documentary"... yes, the big
one that started the "ancient astronaut" fad...

Here is the first episode of the television series, colorized, and with English
subtitles, so as to be maximally accessible.

Maybe because space melodrama and bad effects were losing favor? This

very popular in Germany.
Was it because it would have been more expensive to make episodes
next year, when color TV would be introduced in Germany?
Was it because the militaristic nature of the space fleet conflicted with
sensitivities concerning Germany's past?
There has been considerable speculation. There are also parallels
between the series and Star Trek. The budget was tight, so ordinary
objects were used as props. The Captain was in hot water for not
always following orders. It was set in a future where individual nations
on Earth no longer existed.
On the other hand, sexual tension was handled with subtlety in
the show, and it was a minor character - who tended to get shot
down - who was portrayed as a womanizer.
More significantly, there was only one alien race referred to in
the show, and that race was a deadly menace at war with humans.

Would have been fun if a few V-2 rockets were used for shooting down those Alienskies?

The TV series was made in East-Germany, so the sexual tension among the crew was toned down too much, I think!
Female crew behaved like robots!

Actually, the acting was professional, but maybe was not enough demand for this type of films.

Back then youngsters were more into western, cowboys movies, as the US flooded the world market with them!

Of course, American movies had a much larger budget than an East-German Sci Fi flick, so they were much better made in color!
Like the Planet of the Apes, I remember to blow my mind!
