Someone recently noted that the replacement of Eagle landers on Space 1999 was
not possible due to the fact that the base had very finite resources. He also
noted that the Enterprise could easily pop in to a starbase for repairs. What
puzzles me is that the 5 year mission of the Enterprise was "to boldy go .." etc
and therefore there shouldn't be a starbase in sight if they were chartering
unknown territory. Also, how come they knew the name of every planet they
visited? Surely they wouldn't have had a name if no-one had been there before.

Just a thought ....
