This is actually an older model Novation Launchpad similar to this:

Here is a video of one of these in action in its native habitat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vC5TsSyNjU
One of my favorite shows.
l wonder how it compares as a spaceflight control device to the flatiron command interface of Spaceship Orion…:

That’s a bold prop move
Well, they had to cut some corners to get it realized at all…
Nonetheless the series wasn’t continued after its first season mainly due to cost reasons, despite being insanely popular.And it had a banger of a theme song, too. And some actually good-looking VFX.
Cool show all around; it’s unfortunate how short-lived it was.
What is that from? I tried searching Spaceship Orion but all I could find were articles about Artemis II and some failed TV show from 2023 that was definitely not in black and white.

Basically the German Star Trek.
Similar, but somewhat less optimistic.When someone asks me “Kirk or Picard” I answer “McLane”.
Okay, I’ll answer “Sisko” but I’ll at least think of Maj. Cliff Allister McLane and the crew of the fast space cruiser Orion, which can be operated using nothing but flatirons, ice scoops, and faucets. The ship, not the crew.
Thank you!

Captains log. The crew of the Enterprise has been stationed on planet Extacy for mental health repairs. The bass has dropped. There are so many lights.with all the talk about phaser and shield frequencies, maybe that makes sense
There was a great subreddit for this /r/thatsabooklight
Why use custom prop when commercial product do trick?
DMX got his name from one of these.
