The activator in the pannel [panel] on your left will then open to reveal the emergency red handle which operates the escape hatchway apparatus. Turn the handle in either direction, secondary level. Space suits can be found in lockers B1 and C2.

    • Crazy credits
      [opening scroll]

      Far out into the galaxy of the universe is the Moon, Earth's great natural satellite, revolving round Man's planet in an orbit as fixed and rigid as that of the Sun. It has now been transformed into a stepping stone, an advanced, complex, instrument, self supporting in all aspects, enabling Man to continue the eternal search for other forms of life in outer space. The year is 2100.

    The best sci-fi in the 70's
    I was watching this series in 1979 I think and in that time this was by far the best you could get, Flash Gordon is nothing compere to this. I was 13 years old then and I remember that it could be a bit scary. I know I have seen it again for some years ago but I don't know where I found it and of course I didn't save it. I think it's pretty advanced for that time. I strongly recommend this if you can get it.
