Space Brain

These are effects storyboards for the episode Space Brain. These shots reflect the original script- a new opening hook was written later. See also Library Special Effects


Notably missing here are scenes of the foam around the Moonbase buildings, covering a launch pad, and inside the Eagle hangars. These were likely additional shots done later.
