Last I heard, it was knotted up in a rights dispute. That was- back in '04.

The force needed to blow the Moon out of orbit at what would have to be near-light speed would more likely have shattered the planetoid instead. Of course, the whole fact that they entered other solar systems was hard to swallow, as it'd require the Moon to be going way *faster* than light speed! Still a fun show. I'd like to find copies of the old scifi series "UFO". That was a cool show. -------------- Original message -------------- From: Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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.

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... -------------- Original message -------------- From: Daryle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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.
