Breakaway Lost Scenes

Scenes filmed on Friday 14th December 1973 and Thursday 20th December. It represents scenes 129 to 140, switching between Main Mission, Alan's Eagle cockpit, and special effects shots. The description of Mare Cantabrium exists in E C Tubb's novelisation (they aren't real lunar features, but the "Mare Cantabrium" exists on Earth, better known as the Bay of Biscay off Spain).

Crew: "This is one three two take one, no clapper."
Director: "Action"
Crew: "One, two, three, shake!"
Helena: "I can't move."
Bergman: "We're moving. The Moon is accelerating."
Landau: "Now I start to move across. I'm struggling, I'm struggling, I'm struggling. I finally get ...to the console... Carter. Carter, can you read me?"
Alan: "Yes"
Koenig: "This is John Koenig. Our G-forces have been affected. Can you determine what's happening to us?"
Alan: "Commander. That explosion. It tore a tremendous piece of the moon away. The far side, it just tore it away."
Koenig: "Tore it away?"
Alan: "All of Mare Cantabrium is gone. The Great Lunar Sea. All the Alta Mountains. I can see it from up here. It is impossible to believe. The Meta Probe! The entire Space Dock is breaking up,"
Koenig: "Carter, get back here. Get back here, Carter."
Alan: "The Moon is going out of the Earth's orbit!"
Koenig (quiet): "We're going out of orbit." (loud) "Get back here Carter... before we lose you too."
Alan: "I'm holding. But only just."
Koenig: "Hold on, Carter, hold on. Feels like we're decelerating now. Don't lose power, don't lose any ground, keep on full power, Carter." (quieter) "Think he'll make it?"
Bergman's reply is missing. Koenig continues: "We have our power back. Ouma says we're down to three ..."
Indistinct chatter and buzzer sounds.
