- Lunar Module 32 is destroyed when a limpet craft operated by the aliens attaches itself to its side and causes it to enter Earth orbit at too steep an angle, by which it burns up in the atmosphere. The craft had been hiding behind space debris. Straker wishes to launch a program to clean up all space debris believing it could be used by UFOs. However, General James Henderson believes such a program will cost too much and believes SHADO as a separate entity should be disbanded.—don @ minifie-1
- The International Astrophysics Commission under the direction of General Henderson is responsible for clearing near-Earth space of orbital debris. While Straker and Henderson clash over the priority of debris clean-up, a Moonbase shuttle is destroyed by an Alien device hidden in the debris, and Moonbase is cut-off from Earth. Straker orders the Interceptors to destroy possible hiding places in an 'end run' around Henderson, but the Aliens's plans involve more than a blockade, and so do Straker's.
