Lost in Space (1998)

This actress is 19 years, 76 days, younger than Phoebe, suggesting this movie is supposed to point, primarily to the year 1976. I would have been in space my entire 17th year and that meant I was in space away from Earth, the entire year of 1976. There might be another reason for this casting choice but I don't know.

Lacey Chabert

Date of Birth: 30 September 1982

Lost in Space (1998) .... Penny Robinson



I recognize the date 2/14/1986 as when I was shot down by anti-aircraft fire somewhere in Africa and I was a Prisoner of War in Libya.

From 2/14/1986 to 4/7/1987 is: 59 weeks and 4 days

Jack Johnson

Date of Birth: 7 April 1987

Lost in Space (1998) .... Will Robinson



I recognize the date 5/13/1987 as when I completed my escape after being a POW in Libya and then running down through Africa for over a year to escape and return home. I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as when I made my first visit to the Saturn moon Phoebe. This casting choice seems to have been made to connect those events, as both suggest to me I was thinking of Phoebe, my wife.

From 1/29/1970 to 5/13/1987 is: 6313 days
From 3/3/1959 to 6/14/1976 is: 6313 days

From 3/3/1959 to 6/7/1976 is:6306 days

Heather Graham

Date of Birth: 29 January 1970

Lost in Space (1998) .... Dr. Judy Robinson



This actor was 23 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, old on 7/20/1969. I noticed when I was watching this movie again recently that he had a scar above his right eye just like one I have. For the most part, I want to say I got that scar when I was a Prisoner of War in Libya. Other times, although with less certainty, I think it might have happened during the Vietnam War. I think someone flicked the point of a knife across my eye and I probably thought they had cut out my eye. It is a well-formed scar so it must have been a serious cut.

Matt LeBlanc

Date of Birth: 25 July 1967

Lost in Space (1998) .... Maj. Don West



William Hurt is 3270 days older than me. I was 3270 days old on 2/14/1968. That is the birthday of my younger sister, Melissa, in my artificial and symbolic memory. And that is the clue that got me thinking I had been shot down by anti-aircraft fire on 2/14/1986.

From 3/20/1950 to 3/3/1959 is: 3270 days
From 3/3/1959 to 2/14/1968 is: 3270 days

William Hurt

Date of Birth: 20 March 1950

Lost in Space (1998) .... Prof. John Robinson



For a while, I had been thinking I had been married to Mimi Rogers before I was a POW in Libya. From my artificial and symbolic memory, I "rememebered" a girl named Kendra Rogers whose father was named Kenny Rogers. I don't know what it means. I noted that she and Tom Cruise married on 5/9/1987, which was just before I returned from Africa. There was also the scene in "Lost In Space" where she commented that she thought that her husband would have made it back before they tried to launch from the planet. I was even more confused by the scene in George Clooney's "O Brother Where Art Thou?" because he was trying to get back home before his wife got married again and I associated that movie with my escape from Africa.
Mimi Rogers was 13 years, 5 months, 27 days, old on 7/24/1969, the day Apollo 11 returned to Earth from the Moon.

From 1/27/1956 to 7/24/1969 is: 13 years, 5 months, 27 days
27 / 30 = 0.9

From 1/27/1956 to 7/24/1969 is: 13 years, 5.9 months

Mimi Rogers

Date of Birth: 27 January 1956

Lost in Space (1998) .... Dr. Maureen Robinson



This actor portrayed the older "Will Robinson" in kind of an alternate reality that is created in the movie. He was 15 years, 93 days old right at the time I recognize as when I landed on the Jupiter moon Callisto. That would seem to be a very apt choice for casting that role because the moon Callisto was going to be where I was marooned until I ran out of oxygen. I discovered water ice, though, and was able to replenish my oxygen supply and return to Earth on 4/14/1977. I recognize the date 11/26/1976 as when I landed on the Jupiter moon Callisto and I left for Earth on 11/28/1976.

From 8/24/1961 to 11/25/1976 is: 15 years, 93 days
