The birth of Jackie imposes some chronology. It is unlikely a pregnant woman would be allowed on Alpha by Earth's space programme, due to the risks of radiation and space travel. Jackie was either conceived shortly before September 1999, or some time after, so this episode is perhaps May-June 2000 or later.
0 fatalities, but we learn of Jack Crawford's death some time previously. There is one new Alphan: Jackie Crawford
There is a flight of 3 Eagles, unnumbered
When Alan's Eagle drops down to the lunar surface, the passenger pod has grey stripes - it is a repainted Rescue pod. In subsequent episodes the model was weathered so the painted over stripes were less visible.
None.
