Good points, Anthony,

and I suppose you mean "A Question of Priorities".
I wonder why the Alien in this ep stays with the blind Lady without
his helmet on if this is so dangerous to them. Furthermore I don't
remember another episode with a fast ageing Alien. Even the Alien
in "Computer Affair" hasn't the problem with it, if I remember right.

I am also not a fan of the idea of disappearing UFOs. Even if the
Aliens are quick enough to get out of Earth' Orbit before the
disintegration, I think the craft must be damaged in one way or the
other anyway. Because I can't imagine that the atmosphere destroys
the UFOs from one moment to the other.

I would like to know how solid the glass of a real spacehelmet is.
Could it be destroyed when an astronaut is falling onto the surface
(e.g. of the Moon)? Anyone on the list who knows this or have read
about this?

Thanks
Christian
