If you look in the photo section under Gym you'll see I posted (jeez
March 2006!)some framecaps showing the window/viewport in the gym. I
reckon it's just a blowup of the standard photo of the interceptors
in their launch bay - if so that means you can work out exactly where
the gym is in relation to the bay. Personally I think there is much
more underground sections than we see in the show. There must be
sections adjacent to the bays for storage of spares and missles.
Perhaps when they jump down the chutes it takes them to below ground
level where they are deposited into a chair which whisks them along a
track to the bays. The flat area in front of Moonbase was meant to be
for landing heavier vehicles (loaded with supplies/missles?) I reckon
these would be taken into the structure that extends out and perhaps
carted around various underground corridors to where they were
needed/kept.
Regards,
Barry
ps I think in one of the comic strip stories the large lighted areas
in the launch bay were portrayed as large viewing windows like in
2001.
