'''Florianópolis''' (also known by its nickname '''Floripa''') is the capital city of [[Santa Catarina (Brazil)|Santa Catarina State]] in southern [[Brazil]]. It is composed of one main island, the [[Santa Catarina (island)|Island of Santa Catarina]], one continental part and the surrounding small islands. It has a population of 406,564 ([[2006]]/[[IBGE]]). Its metropolitan area has a population of over 821,423 inhabitants.
'''''Space: 1999''''' ([[ITC Entertainment]], [[1975]]–[[1977]]) was a [[Science fiction on television|science-fiction television]] show produced by [[Gerry Anderson|Gerry]] and [[Sylvia Anderson]], famous for ''[[Thunderbirds (television)|Thunderbirds]]'' and ''[[UFO (TV series)|UFO]]''.
It is surrounded by smaller [[island]]s with [[fort]]s, which protected ships in the [[17th century]]. Most of the population lives on the island's northern half. The southern half is more isolated and less developed. Although originally settled by the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] (from the Archipelago of [[Azores]]), the city has a strong [[Germany|German]] and [[Italy|Italian]] influence, like the rest of the state. Florianópolis is a popular destination for [[South America]]n tourists, because of its ___location and white sand beaches. Florianópolis is served by [[Hercílio Luz International Airport]] for both domestic and international flights.
==Program overview==
==Geography==
''Space: 1999'' was the first attempt since the demise of ''[[Star Trek]]'' in [[1969]] at producing a large-scale weekly science fiction series, and the show drew a great deal of visual inspiration (and technical expertise) from the [[Stanley Kubrick]] classic ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]''. The show's special effects director [[Brian Johnson]] had in fact previously worked on both ''Thunderbirds'' (as Brian Johncock) and ''2001''.
===Climate===
The [[humid subtropical climate]] gets its name from the high humidity experienced in this environment. The stations of the year are well characterized, summer and well definite winter, being the fall and spring of characteristics similar.Frosts do not be frequent, but occur sporadically in the winter. Due to the proximity of the sea, the relative humidity of the air is of 80% on average. The haste is enough significant and well distributed during the year. The annual normal haste for the period of 1911-1984 was of 1521 mm. Not a dry station exists, being the summer generally the station that presents the most greatest index pluviométrico (Hermann et alii, 1986). They elevated hastes occur of January to March, with medium of 160 monthly mm, being that of April to December there is little variation, with a medium one around 100 monthly mm. The shortest values occur of June to August. On average of the maxims of the [[hot]]test month varies of 26°C to 31ºC and on average of the minimums of the month more [[cold]], of 7,5°C to 12°C. The lowest temperature ever recorded was -2ºC, in 1975.
Sadly, it was the last in a long line of successful science-fiction serials that the Andersons produced, beginning with [[Supercar]] in the early Sixties and including the famed marionette fantasy series [[Stingray]], [[Thunderbirds (television)|Thunderbirds]], [[Captain Scarlet]] and [[Joe 90]] and the gritty live-action alien-invasion drama [[UFO (TV series)|UFO]].
Much of the visual design for ''Space: 1999'' was originally intended for a never-made second series of ''UFO'' which would have featured an expanded Moonbase. When this fell through the ideas were used for ''Space: 1999'' instead.
The stars were [[United States|American]] actors [[Martin Landau]] and [[Barbara Bain]], who were married at the time and had previously appeared together in ''[[Mission: Impossible]]''. Also starring were [[Barry Morse]] (in the first season) and [[Catherine Schell]] (in the second season). The series also made [[Australia]]n actor [[Nick Tate]] quite popular. There were guest appearances by the likes of [[Christopher Lee]], [[Peter Cushing]], [[Ian McShane]] and [[Brian Blessed]].
==Curiosity==
The [[special effects]] in the show were highly regarded. The show featured many well designed and intricate [[scale model]]s including the ''Eagle'', a lunar shuttle. Special effects director Brian Johnson and most of his team went on to work on Ridley Scott's ''[[Alien (movie)|Alien]]'', followed by ''[[Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back]]''.
[[Vehicles]]: 190.517 (jun./2006);
Daily [[Newspapers]]: 4 (jul./2007);
Foundation day: 23/03/1726.
==Economy==
The series premiered in [[1975]], although the first episode had actually been filmed [[1973]]-[[1975]]. There were two seasons of 24 episodes each made by Gerry Anderson for [[ITC Entertainment]]. The first season was co-produced by the [[Italy|Italian]] state broadcaster, [[RAI]]. In [[United Kingdom|Britain]] the series was originally seen on [[ITV]] stations but never simulcast nationally. In the [[United States|US]] it was [[syndication|syndicated]].
[[Image:Costao do Santinho Resort Fpolis.jpg|right|260px|thumb|The biggest beach resort of [[Santa Catarina state]], in Florianópolis.]]
Florianópolis has his economy consolidated basically in the activities of the [[commerce]], installment of public service, [[industry]] of transformation and [[tourism]]. Lately, the industry of the clothing and to data processing you come becoming also sectors of exceptional development. The civil construction also is another one important economic activity of the city, with highlight for the beaches of the north region of the island (Jurerê, Jurerê Internacional, Canasvieiras e Ingleses).
===Tourism===
The series was reportedly broadcast in 96 countries, mostly between [[1975]] and [[1979]]. The series was shown in Italy as ''Spazio: 1999'', [[France|France]] as ''Cosmos: 1999'', [[Denmark|Denmark]] as ''Månebase Alpha'', [[Portugal|Portugal]] as ''Espaço: 1999'', [[Brazil|Brazil]] sometimes as ''Terror no Espaço'', [[Spain|Spain]] as ''Espacio: 1999'', [[Sweden|Sweden]] as ''Månbas Alpha 1999'', [[Poland|Poland]] as ''Kosmos: 1999'', [[Finland|Finland]] as ''Avaruusasema Alfa'' and on German television ([[ZDF]]) as ''Mondbasis Alpha 1''. Other countries where the show was popular include South Africa, Turkey, Greece, the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan, Malaysia, Canada and Mexico. It was shown on the [[Seven Network]] in the same general period in [[Australia]], where the Andersons' shows had always had a large and loyal following. In the UK, the episodes of the show's second season were shown sporadically over a period of a couple of years. In some regions the final first-run episodes appeared in 1978, more than a year after they were produced; in other regions of the UK, the second series was never shown. In many countries, including the US, UK and Germany, individual episodes were cut to reduce the running time.
It considered by many inhabitants and tourists that it visit like holder of a singular beauty, endowed with strong lines of the Azorean culture, observed in the buildings, workmanship, in the folklore, culinary and in the religious traditions, Florianópolis has in the tourism one of his main springs of yield.
==Plot==
Among the attractive tourist of the capital highlight itself, at present, beyond the beaches, the localities where were installed the first communities of [[Azorean]] immigrants, as Stream of the Island, Pond of the Conception, Holy Antonio of [[Lisbon]] and the own historical center of the city.
==Education==
The show involved the plight of the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha following a calamity. When a huge nuclear waste dump on the [[Far side (Moon)|far side]] of the Moon detonates in a massive series of nuclear explosions, it sends the [[Moon]] hurtling out of [[Earth]]'s orbit and into deep space at colossal speed. ([[Isaac Asimov]] was quick to point out that any explosion capable of knocking the Moon out of its orbit would actually blow it apart, and probably send billions of tons of debris crashing down onto Earth as well.) The Moon in effect becomes the "[[spaceship]]" on which our heroes travel, looking for a new home. A "space warp" conveniently serves to explain how it is the Alphans manage to meet so many alien civilizations instead of spending most of their time drifting through the interstellar void.
[[Portuguese language]] is the official language of schools. But [[English language]] and [[Spanish language]] are part of the official [[high school]] curriculum.
===Colleges and universities===
The concept of travelling through space encountering aliens and strange worlds is similar to ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''[[Lost In Space]]'', although the crew were obviously more influenced by ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' (except in terms of scientific accuracy).
*[[Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina]] (UFSC);
*Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC);
*Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina (UNISUL);
*Universidade do Vale do Itajaí (UNIVALI), and more others.
Taking another page from ''2001''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s book, the series tended to explore mystical and metaphysical themes rather than scientific ones. Yet many of the first season's episodes were striking.
The cynical "War Games", said to be the highest-budgeted single episode of any TV series up to that time, was an overt commentary on humanity's combative nature. Alpha finds itself under attack by an unstoppable alien force that kills most of its population. Yet in another of the series' metaphysical twists, the Alphans are given a second chance at the end, and time is reversed to mere moments prior to the attack so that Commander Koenig (Landau) can rethink his fateful decisions. "Dragon's Domain" and "Force of Life" were more typical variations on the alien monster theme, but executed impressively. However, most of the writers seemed to have very little knowledge of astronomy, which might seem to be a minimal requirement for a series set in space, and the action was often surprisingly slow-moving for an adventure series.
==Infrastructure==
==Second season production troubles==
===International Airport===
Florianópolis Airport has become in recent summers one of Brazil’s main destinations for national and international tourists. With capacity of 1.2 million users a year, in 2003 it received 1.28 million passengers.
The current passenger terminal has become modest for a city growing as quickly as Florianópolis. For this reason, the city will shortly receive a new airport able to serve 2.7 million passengers a year.
The architectural design of the new airport was chosen by a public competition held by Infraero in partnership with the Brazilian Architects Institute (IAB). This was the first time Infraero has employed a public competition to choose an airport terminal design.
Normally the projects for expansion and modernization of the 66 airports administered by Infraeor are done by public tender based on the needs, criteria and conditions presented by the company’s engineering area.
Among the over 150 original entries, the proposal of São Paulo architect Mário Bizelli was chosen. Begun in March 2004, the entries were first narrowed down to 71 designs actually presented, from which three finalists were shortlisted. The designs of Marcelo Consiglio Barbosa and Sérgio Parada were classified in second and third places respectively.
The construction work will be tendered in 2005 and should be finished in two years.
===Highways===
[[image:spfirekh1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Barbara Bain and Martin Landau]]
Florianópolis is connected to the main cities of [[Brazil]] by BR-101 and BR-282 federal highways.
The second season was problematic. Producer [[Fred Freiberger]] was brought in, and made numerous changes that upset the series' continuity (which was shaky to begin with) and proved controversial with fans. [[Barry Morse]] and a few other regular cast from the first season were dismissed. Freiberger, best known (and, to some fans, infamous) for producing the critically derided third season of ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' and evidently wanting his own [[Mr. Spock]], insisted that an alien join the regular cast, and this led to the addition of [[Catherine Schell]] as the shape-changing Maya.
==Districts==
The fans liked Maya, but the stories in season two were less popular with some. Landau was especially unhappy. The episode "All That Glisters" sparked a major confrontation between Freiberger and the cast. Landau disliked the story so strongly he reportedly nearly left the show, and wrote the following notes on his copy of the script: "All the credibility we're building up is totally forsaken in this script!", "...Story is told poorly!", and "The character of Koenig takes a terrible beating in this script—We're all shmucks!" A shorter production schedule meant that [[Tony Anholt]] picked up the role of action hero as Security Chief Tony Verdeschi. In an interview, Anholt revealed that the more the cast complained about a script's flaws, the more intractable and unyielding Freiberger became.
There are 12 districts in Florianópolis:
{|
The show fizzled after the second season, with some episodes from the season not even airing in the UK until nearly two years after they were produced. Plans were still made for a third season, however a lack of American syndication sales led to its cancellation.

* [[Cachoeira do Bom Jesus]]
* [[Campeche (Florianópolis)|Campeche]]
* [[Canasvieiras]]
* [[Ingleses do Rio Vermelho]]
* [[Lagoa da Conceição]]
|
Fans were upset by the lack of narrative closure, particularly in that the ultimate fate of the Alphans was never resolved. Years later, a short film titled "Message from Moonbase Alpha" was produced by fans and written by series scribe Johnny Byrne. Featuring a moving eulogy performed by series regular Zienia Merton (Sandra Benes), it told of the Alphans finally colonizing the planet Terra Alpha and saying their final farewells to the Moonbase.

The city is one of the places chosen by the ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) to be part of the world championship tour of surfing. Brazil has played host to many an ASP tour event over the past 30 years. Former contest sites include Rio de Janeiro, Barra de Tijuca and Saquarema, but the past four years have seen the tour set up shop in Florianopolis.
''Season 2 was was aired in Britain over the course of more than a year. Some parts of Britain did not see the final episode, "The Dorcons" until May 1978.''
Falling towards the end of the tour, the past few years have seen several ASP world champions crowned in Brazil. In 2004 it was Andy Irons, in 2005 is was Kelly Slater (who had his 2006 ASP World Title already stitched up by Brazil).

Four films were culled together from various episodes of the series in the 1970s and 1980s. One aim was to provide content for new US and European [[Cable_TV|Cable TV]] and [[Satellite_TV|Satellite TV]] stations (and, potentially, for theatrical release which occurred in several European countries). A fifth film, ''Spazio: 1999'', was created specifically for theatrical release in [[Italy]]. These films (with the exception of ''Spazio: 1999'') were released to [[home video]] years before any episodes were officially available in that format.

* ''Spazio: 1999'' was a 1976 [[Italy|Italian]] release made up of heavily edited segments from the episodes "Breakaway", "Ring Around the Moon" and "Another Time, Another Place". This obscure release is notable for having a musical score by noted film composer [[Ennio Morricone]], replacing the original television score by [[Barry Gray]].

* ''Destination: Moonbase Alpha'', released in 1978, was the first widely available reediting of the series, based upon the two-part second season episode "The Bringers of Wonder." In many countries, this episode could only be seen in the movie form, as it was removed from the syndication package (though the two episodes were restored for the North American [[DVD]] release).
Image:Lagoa da Conceição.jpg|Lagoa da Conceição
* ''Alien Attack'', released in 1979, retroactively introduced foreign audiences to how Moonbase Alpha came to be travelling through space, by combining the by-now six-year-old pilot episode "Breakaway" with another episode, "War Games". This feature also included new footage shot for this release.
