  Prince of Space/Invasion of the Neptune Men
Prince of Space is really a shoeshine boy (!) named Wally, but in his hero guise and stick weapon (looking something like one of those automatic grill lighters) in hand, the aliens are defenseless against him.
Prince of Space flies his rocket to their planet where he has to fend off an ugly giant monster (with body padding similar to that of Hans and Franz) before saving the defenseless captured scientists.
PRINCE OF SPACE is probably the more fun of the two, as it always pollutes the screen with various aliens vs. hero action, and the incredibly laughable image of the Phantom of Krankor and his hook-nosed soldiers is hard to let down.

 Saudi Aramco World : A Prince in Space   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Prince Sultan, a 28-year old graduate of the University of Denver - with a degree in mass communications - and a trained pilot, was picked to be the first Arab in space after a search of several months.
Prince Sultan was named the primary payload specialist and Major 'Abd al-Mohsin Hammad al-Bassam, a 36-year old instructor in the Royal Saudi Air Force, was selected to be his back-up.
In four of them, six television cameras were mounted on the shuttle's exterior, and in the fifth, a 70-mm still camera installed on the shuttle cabin's front window was used; thus it was possible to observe the three positions and the combination of gases in areas close to and distant from the shuttle.

Prince of Space is about some aliens from the rock planet of Krankor decide to attack Earth in hopes of taking it over and making it their new home.
They find themselves surrounded by space aliens (who unlike the last film, don’t look like humans with pointed rubber noses glued on their faces, but more like robots), it looks like they are doomed until a mysterious man flies in on his own spaceship and saves the children.
Space Chief also has a secret identity as one of the scientists and much like Prince of Space, we never learn the origin of this hero either or why he is there.

 Episode 816- Prince of Space
So the plot as it appeared to me is this: This mean guy, The Phantom of Krankor or just Krankor as we called him, and his band of tiny-wienered (as in Oscar Meyer) minions are out to capture Earth, by way of Japan.
Prince of Space, in a farm fresh plot twist, is really the slim bachelor guy!

 PWC Open Space Planning
Open space means undeveloped land areas that have important ecological functions, natural resources, cultural resources worthy of conservation and protection, areas that protect viewsheds and ceate a scenic appearance, areas that are not suitable for active recreation, areas that are not suitable for parks.
An effective open space plan arms officials with the citizen support and regulatory tools they need to increase developer commitments for parks and open space, attract state and federal grant funds, build trust with citizens and attract high quality businesses.
Citizens expressed their concerns that the goals proposed in the September draft were set too low, definitions for key terms were missing and substituting private lands for public parks was not acceptable.

 Welcome to Horrorview.com!: The War in Space (1977)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Japan's history with epic space opera is almost as old as the Japanese film industry, and while their non-giant-monster special effects films take a cue from American titles, the Japanese have a flare that cannot be ignored.
The plot is as standard as space opera gets, an alien race wants to take over planet Earth, and a scientist and his band of merry adventurers must stop him.
When an alien space ship, modeled on a Spanish galleon, destroys Earth's only orbiting space station and levels all of Earth's major cities, the last hope for man is the mothballed space ship Gothen and its plucky crew.

 MST3K Review
The Prince of Space: a mild-mannered shoeshine man by day, superhero defending the Earth from beak-nosed chicken-like aliens by night.
Of course, the Prince of Space (PoS) is a friend with children, two young boys in particular (the PoS is starting to sound a little more like the King of Pop).
The invaders are lead by the Phantom of Krankor, who laughs like the Penguin in the old Batman TV show, and who continuously tries to shoot the Prince of Space with rayguns even though, as the PoS constantly reminds him, the guns have no effect on him.

 City of Space by Jack Williamson from The Prince of Space
This is the earliest reference found (thus far) in science fiction for the idea of a cylindrical space station that is spun to create artificial gravity.
From The Prince of Space, by Jack Williamson.
The consequence of this is that all "vertical" directions (such as those for human beings standing erect, the partitions of the rooms, etc.) are now convergent instead of parallel to one another, and everything "horizontal" (e.g., water surface of the bathtub) appears curved instead of flat.

The story appears to be that 7, or maybe 8, chickens try to take over the earth, or Japan, or something and a shoe-shine boy, who is really the Prince of Space, points a butane grill lighter at them and jumps around with a sinus mask over his face.
His flock keep shooting at the Prince with their stick weapons, ignoring his statement that the "weapons have no effect on me".

Such is the case with Yusei Oji, better known as "Prince of Space." This movie is bad.

  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Aristotle
Space is neither matter nor form, but the "first and unmoved limit of the containing, as against the contained".
In his treatment of the notions of motion, space, and time, Aristotle refutes the Eleatic doctrine that real motion, real space, and real succession imply contradictions.
Following Empedocles Aristotle, also, teaches that all terrestrial bodies are composed of four elements or radical principles, namely: fire, air, earth, and water.
