Breakaway (Space 1999, #1)

Moonbase Alpha is Earth's supreme achievement. The dark side of the moon, once so mysterious, now stores containers of smoldering radioactive waste, refuse from Earth. Then, in 1999, the serene satellite is ripped apart by a thermonuclear explosion and the 311 inhabitants of Alpha whirl through space on a runaway moon where survival is a game of chance with the life forces of the universe.
