Wasn't this a poorly made 1970's sci-fi program? Doesn't the moon explode breaking away from Earth's orbit and hurtling through space?

I remember that one. But I think it was a big chunk of the earth- about half of Africa IIRC, that broke away and went into orbit as a second moon.

He’s thinking of “Space: 1999”, where the nuclear waste storage fields on the moon blow up, hurling the moon out of the solar system.
