The Continuity GuideMoonbase Guide
by Martin Willey
The Continuity GuideThere are 6 desks in a "U" shape, plus (from Missing Link) Kano's desk. The desks and Sorella lamps needed electrical cables, which were sometimes visible crossing the floor.
Breakaway: Main Mission is in the early layout with steps to the viewports (there is a slight change in Ring Around The Moon; the new layout is in Earthbound).
Black Sun: early layout
Earthbound: the steps to the windows are gone, and the desks open out slightly; but Kano still does not have a desk.
Another Time, Another Place: the wider layout
The later layout with Kano's desk, which first appeared in Missing Link.

Space Brain: including Kano's desk
Often wires are seen running on the floor between desks.
The desks move forwards and backwards in each episode, and sometimes foreground desks even disappear for particular shots.
Despite the electronics, staff frequently drink coffee at their desks.
