After leaving the moon's orbit, the computer system fails to alert the astronauts of an approaching meteor field coming at them. In grave danger the spaceship is damaged by several strikes before the emergency alert system is finally activated and the computers take over emergency maneuvering. Under the emergency maneuvering computer-controlled flight, the Liberty One suddenly goes out of control pinning the astronauts to their seats and dangerously exceeding its designed speed limitations. Liberty One was about to self-destruct as it suddenly disappeared from NASA's satellite imaging.
