Pilot/Debut: The "Mission Impossible" team of husband Martin Landau and

spectacular special effects. On Moonbase Alpha, which monitors lunar
storage sites for atomic wastes shuttled from earth, Commander Koenig and
Dr. Russel oversee an eleventh-hour attempt to avert spectacular
explosions on the moon that eventually hurtle it out of earth's orbit and
