Did you know
- TriviaThis short film is a sequel to the TV series Space: 1999 (1975) and was produced specifically for a special convention held in 1999 to mark the year the Moon left orbit in the series. At the time, the film was shown with the understanding that it would be shown only once (due to licensing restrictions). However, in 2002 A&E announced it would include the film in a DVD release of "Space: 1999" episodes. Although not broadcast, this short film is considered canonical with the "Space: 1999" (1975) TV series.
- GoofsEven though Sandra makes her recording for some 6 minutes, the analog clock on the panel behind her never moves from displaying '11:55'

Featured review
A poetic footnote to a most endearing and underrated series.
As a 70's fan of Space 1999, I didn't know this "short" existed until I happened to watch it recently while recovering in the hospital after binge watching season 1 & 2. (In all honesty I can't blame my tears while watching it on my medication).
"Solid as a rock" words that describe the devoted character of Sandra Benes of Space 1999 brought to life by the quietly unassuming performance of Zienia Merton. I truly believe this resigned yet heartfelt goodbye could not have been delivered by any other member of the crew of Moon Base Alpha than Sandra. Always at her post. Always giving her best and always filled with a kind of hopeful understanding that even while praying to find a new world, Alpha was her home. Goodbye Alpha.
