"Attention, all sections Alpha. This is Commander Koenig. Our moon has been blasted out of orbit and we have been cut off from Earth. There is no hope or possibility of return."
He paused a moment before continuing: "But we are not without hope. We have power, environment, and therefore, the possibility of survival. Meta is close and our path is carrying us toward it. There, perhaps we will find a new home.
"There, or somewhere . . ."

Work Description
Moonbase Alpha is Earth's supreme achievement. Self-sufficient and fully computerised, the fantastic lunar colony is Earth's global watchdog, silently guarding against sneak alien attack. The dark side of the moon - once so mysterious, so unattainable - now stores in its womb containers of smouldering radioactive waste, refuse from Earth.
Then, in the year of Our Lord 1999, the serene satellite is ripped apart by thermonuclear explosion. And the 311 inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha whirl through space on a runaway moon - in an orbit of jarring adventure where survival is a game of chance with the life forces of the universe!
Based on the TV adventure spectacular starring Martin Landau, Barbara Bain and Barry Morse.
