We join our lunar astronauts just after Jet presses the rocket ignition button and nothing happened. Then one by one all the ships systems shut down and they are left in a dead ship. Everything is quiet except for the sound of the ship’s master gyro whirring down until it stops.

After a complete inspection of the ships power system they can find nothing wrong except nothing has power. As Jet so concisely puts it unless they can find something they are stuck, stranded on the moon.

We join our lunar astronauts outside of the ship. Jet, Doc and Lemmy suddenly hear that strange music again and Doc sees a movement near the craters edge. Jet goes over to investigate and disappears.

Doc and Lemmy go to the crater to investigate and they can find no trace of Jet. They call Mitch up in the ship to use the televiewer to see if he can find Jet. No such luck, Jet is nowhere to be seen. They try to call him on the radio with no results.

Three hours later Jet finally replies. They rejoin Jet who only believes he has been out of contact for about 5 minutes. During his absence he had been having a conversation with his uncle back on earth, in Jets youth, abut the possibility of space travel.

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.
