The moonbase girls remind me of Holly, the ship's computer's "face" on the BBC comedy "Red Dwarf."

Aliens can travel all the way to the moon, but don't seem to make it to earth.Ah, but you see in "Space: 1999" the moon was no longer in orbit about the Earth.

I don't think this made an episode 'cos I don't remember seeing it but I heard about this clipping. Commander Ellis was portrayed as beautiful and intelligent in most of the eps though. She was treated with respect by her peers. Kind of like Major Samantha Carter of Stargate SG-1 for her time (35 years ago).
I guess my point about Moonbase was that Gerry Anderson's portrayal of life in a moonbase military installation seemed advanced for its time. Or maybe it was just a reflection of the scientific and military dreams of the US and Soviet Union at that time.

What?!?!? No way! Just saw an episode the other night. They had a chick! (But all you see is her face.) Must be some sort of Red Dwarf joke... LOL!

Red Star in Orbit is a brilliant book, sadly it is out of print, but I re-read my copy from time to time...

Soviet commanders and their best scientists were working on a project to build military headquarters on the moon, Had one all prefabbed up in the backyard. Couldn't get it through the side gate, though.

Destination: Moon came first. I haven't seen Road to the Stars, and as far as I know, it hasn't been shown in the United States for about forty years.
