SFX footage from the World Backgrounds library. The library contains many alternative takes and longer shots (sometimes including clapperboards). A few examples have appeared on the Network DVDs bonus disc, but many have never been seen. Episode shots are outlined in red, all other shots from the library.
Capsules appear right and pass to left over Moon (revolving away from camera). 20 seconds. A completely different Moon to that seen in the episode
(HD) Hundreds of capsules floating through space, right to left. 19 seconds. Not used in episode. Over a hundred "capsules", much more than the 53 described in dialogue.
The capsules are diverted away from the Moon. A different take to that seen in the episode. 30 seconds.
