Breakaway - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: The first time the two crew men in the moon buggy are seen, the numbers on their suits are eight and three. The next moon buggy scene, the two in the suits are numbered eight and three again at first, but when they're testing the domes, the numbers change to nine and zero.

Dragon's Domain - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: The panel Tony hits with a tomahawk in his quarters first appears to be molded plastic, then in a close up, appears to be painted wood, as the wood grain where the panel above is smooth.

Dragon's Domain - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: In the earlier part of the story, Tony was the only survivor and took the pointed module to escape. As Koenig and company return to the probe and dock, the module is back in place.

Movie Nut

Space Brain - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: The number on Kelly's suit was 4. As Paul went to go out after Kelly, you see the number 4 on the control panel, then when he nears Kelly, it's changed to 3, suggesting the shot of the exiting person was re-used.

Movie Nut

The Troubled Spirit - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: As the experiment recreation progresses, and Helena identifies the spirit, the spirit appears with damage on the left side of its face, and a yellow sleeve on its right arm. When the camera is close up to the spirit, the damage and yellow sleeve change sides.

Question: Assuming that Moonbase Alpha is on the side facing the Earth (which is seen on the horizon over the base in the pilot episode "Breakaway"), making travel to it and back easier, and the nuclear waste on the far side, away from Earth, wouldn't the explosion propel the moon towards the Earth, thereby dooming Alpha to certain destruction?

Movie Nut

Answer: Not necessarily - The gravitational fields of Earth and the Sun could have deflected the moon away from the solar system.
