From my recolection, the Moonraker story was that one of the shuttles that 
the criminal wanted to used needed replaced, so they stole the shuttle from 
the ferry 747 by igniting the engines, but they didn't go into space, just 
to where he was going to launch the other 5 shuttles of people.  Was part 
of this crazy story about going into space too???
