Keith, I recall seeing on a 1999 web site that an Eagle's max speed was just
short of lightspeed. If so, then the issue of range is kind of moot. On another
site, the show was referred to as a "science fantasy", which would cover a lot
of the glaring science goofs, such as the notion of nuclear waste exploding
with enough force to hurl the Moon clear of Earth orbit. After seeing the
pilot, I sat down and did the math necessary for that to happen. Not in the
realm of a conventional clean-nuke blast, let me tell you.

they're still in the Solar System. I think they're out near Neptune. There's an
abandoned spaceship that has some kind of flesheating monster on it. The
creature's like a giant squid or something, with one giant lighted eye in the
center of its body. It pulls people in, thein a moment later, ejects a smoking
corpse, as though the body'd been doused in acid. As a kid, i found that show
to be scary. I suspect i might laugh at it nowadays.
I do wonder why, if they were still in the Solar System, they didn't just
abandon Moon Base Alpha in those funky spaceships and head back towards Earth?
I guess their range was too limited and the Moon was moving too fast...

I watched the first 2 seasons of Sliders. This started off as a really fun
and interesting show. It ended so terribly that it's easy to forget that.
I am actually still on holiday this week, and so I will be watching the
first 2 seasons of Space: 1999, and a bunch of anime I've been collecting
for the past year and have not watched.
