The Clavius moonbase seen very briefly in 2001 has buildings arranged in a wheel shape around the central launch pad. Moonbase Alpha in Space 1999 is strikingly similar.
The original concepts for Space 1999 also included a central landing pad, protected with "an armour-proof cover which opens in sections, like the petals of a metal flower". |

Both 2001 and 1999 featured stylish molded white interiors. Unusual Italian chairs added to the stark style. |  |
 |
Keith Wilson's original designs for Moonbase Alpha include voice print security booths, like 2001. |  |
 |
Moonbase Alpha's speaking computer was intended to be a character in the vein of 2001's HAL 9000. The script of Black Sun included a sequence when Computer locks up Professor Bergman because it thinks is jeopardising the Moonbase. |  |
