The title font seems to be using anti-gravity while the Space 1999 ship is using regular propulsion.
Giant looming planet in the sky is way to subtle for a GIANT LOOMING PLANET.
You know if I tried very hard I could probably remember the name of the Photoshop plugin they used to render the title. I’m sure I misused it myself but at least I had the restraint not to use it over a photo.
We’re all assuming that the title refers to Olympus Mons but that looks like Australia. Maybe they’re remaking ‘Space Twenty Quid’ at Uluru. Or maybe it really is the long-awaited Greek mythology/ velour-clad astronauts fight. Like ‘Xena’ with leisure-suits.

Isn’t it cheating to “climb” Olympus in a plane? Perhaps a working title was “Flying quite close to some hills”.

In a Shocking Twist™, the protagonists decide to fly up Olympus rather than climb it.

Bother, MarkE beat me to it AND was funny. Er, I’ll try again.
If you flip the title upside-down, it reads Snduuhlo buipiD, which is an anagram for SUNUP LIBIDO. DUH.

But Olympus Mons is on Mars, not the Moon! Is this where Victor Bergman went? He took a wrong turn?

I’d rather climb Pubis Mons, if ya know what I mean.
Heeeeeeeeey-ooooo!

Mr Blue Sky is living on Mars today. Maybe it rained.

Shitty Photoshop Strikes Again!
Seriously, that is the worst depiction of Mars I have ever seen.

@Anna: how about as a lady dressed up as a security barrier?

This is the sight that greets you after you’ve climbed Olympus.

@THX1138: The reason they’re coy about Professor Bergman’s departure is because he shacked up with a three-breasted hooker!

@ Perry Armstrong: will his clockwork ticker be up to it?

@Perry: See you at the pahty, Victor!

@DSWBT – #3: Why climb when you can fly in an alternate Voltron Arm on a Martian planet with inexplicable atmosphere?

Speaking of Mons Pubis, I think that’s on Venus. So we’ve all got the wrong planet.

@BC: in fact, United Airlines flew us up Olympus Mons, but our luggage went to Venus. 🙁

@DSWBT—you mean the bags with all those delightful latex toys? 😉
Guaranteed to make a day on Mons Venera a sheer delight.

Ironically, “Space: 1999” had better special FX than this cover, 20 years before the book cover was printed.
