1.1 The Void Ahead

September 9th, 2099: Commander John Koenig arrives at Moonbase Alpha to try and uncover what is causing the deaths of astronauts training for a manned probe mission to the newly discovered planet Meta.  When the true cause is finally found, it threatens the safety of not only everyone on Alpha but Earth as well if the chain of events already in place cannot be stopped in time. 

Editor’s Note:
This episode contains several modifications the major one being at the crucial moment when the second nuclear waste dump explodes.  This event now creates a rupture in the fabric of space sucking the moon into its void and propulsing it into an uncharted area of the universe.  At the end, the decision to stay on Moonbase Alpha is now a more obvious one and John Koenig alone assumes responsibility.  Fans will also notice that the travel tube has been adapted to look more accurate with the actual studio set and that the Meta signal has been removed to be re-used in another context later in the series.
