Re:  UFO defenses and the name of the organization.

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...)
