Or prior to Space:1999, Gerry Anderson's other mixed puppet/people 1969 cult hit series "U.F.O". It had a great Moonbase, manned by beautiful but smart women in tight silver catsuits and purple wigs. I think the Soviets would have been envious.

You gotta love science fiction. Aliens can travel all the way to the moon, but don't seem to make it to earth.

Wow, vintage John Byrne. I wondered what he drew before "Iron Fist" at Marvel.

Jeeze, Barabra Bain, et. al. certainly took themselves seriesly! I can count on zero hands the number of times they even smiled.
In real life, humans fall back on humor, even gallows humor, to survive.
I would have spaced the lot of 'em.
