I only just started watching this show after so many years hearing about it (all episodes are also on Youtube), and what a bummer all those years missing out on this!
I love this kind of now "retro" sci-fi. Space: 1999 really was TOS's spiritual successor and the precursor to Star Wars. And no small part due to the aesthetics that you can trace back to 2001. You can really see shift in tone in design in all of sci-fi, and this being one of those important markers.

Sort of an opposite to Trek too, they were not on a journey of choice, and it was all about survival.
It's funny that this was marketed as a kids tv show in the UK on its first run. It used to be shown on Saturday mornings. Can you imagine a 7 year old (that would be me) watching "Dragons Domain"?
I think a lot of us kids then got freaked by that one. The burned corpses and hypnotism of the victims to their deaths?
It was a Captain Ahab in space tale but with a horror aspect.
I remember that episode, was about 7, and the burned corpse face still haunt me 
Never heard that one and I highly doubt that.
2001 was out 5 or 6 years before Space 1999.
Only a few who worked on Space 1999 worked on 2001 as well

I know Lucas backed off on some early Falcon designs as he was reminded a little too much of Eagles.
Yep. The original "pirate" ship. I think the model was actually built (or a prototype of it) and was later remodeled to be used as the blockade runner.

1975 Telex written by Stanley Kubrick: '' It would appear that Space 1999 may very well become a long-running and important television series.
There seems nothing left now but to seek the highest possible damages...The deliberate choice of date only two years away from 2001 is not accidental and harm us"

Brian was just one of many assistants on 2001, but Stanley was protective of his films.
Apples and oranges imo as 1999 was not even in the same league as 2001, but their are similarities.
