No, no, the moon base sent out THREE space craft with 1 missile each. Name: S)upreme H)eadqurters A)lien D)efense O)rganization Defenses: Interceptors 1, 2, and 3. These were based on the moon, and were launched from three circular lifts from below the surface of the moon. Sky/Diver. This was an interesting combination of a submarine (the back half) and a water-tight jet fighter (the front half). It was based below water, and when the earth was threatened, the pilot of the fighter slid into the front half of the submarine and the whole sub tilted about 45 degrees and lanuched the fighter. It had a "Sky/Diver" logo on its side, and when the fighter launched, it had the "Sky/" half on it, and Diver had "/Diver" on it. Tank(s). This is the only other defense that I can remember (it's been a while, but I remember this much becase it was a good show). The tank(s) [I don't remember seeing more than one, but there might have been...] were armed with a turret on the top for shooting the UFOs. Transportation and other misc rememberings: Shuttle. Not as we think of the shuttle, but this one was launched for the moon base from the tail of a plane flying as high as it could in Earth's atmosphere. From there, it would head for moon base. I remember the Interceptor pilots getting into their craft by grabbing this rail above a slot in the wall that looked like a garbage chute and jumping into them. From there, they'd slide into the cockpit. The Sky/Diver pilot entered "Sky" in a similar manner from "Diver". Wow, I'm suprised I remembered THAT much, as I've not seen the show since it was on (I don't even remember when that was...)
