Journey into Space
Lemmy has continued to hear that strange music and Mitch tells Jet he shouldn’t allow Lemmy out of the ship because he is unstable. Jet and Doc, however, overrule Mitch and Lemmy will be allowed to leave the ship in turn with the others.
After a couple of days of routine spaceflight they have arrived. Spaceship Luna turns around with their rocket engines facing toward the Moon and descend to the surface of the Moon in the area of the Bay of Rainbows. The date is 25 October 1965 (the show is not clear on the actual date) when man first lands on the moon. A full four years before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin actually did it on July 20, 1969.

During the landing Lemmy hears that strange music again and causes some disruption. However, the crew successfully land and the Doc admits he may of heard the strange music too.
Doc was scheduled by previous arrangement in the last episode to be the first man to set foot on the Moon but decides to let Mitch be the first. This decision did not have near the controversy of whose to set foot on the Moon first that the real landing had between Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
While on an excursion of the lunar surface with Jet and Doc, Lemmy starts hearing the music again. However, this time the others hear it too. Then Doc sees some motion near the edge of a crater and Jet goes to investigate.
After a few minutes of not hearing from Jet, Doc and Lemmy also go to the edge of the crater to see what has happened to Jet and he has vanished.
