Disaster strikes when KLA is crippled by a faulty space launch; with its systems damaged and orbit decaying, the satellite tech attempts repairs, but is trapped in the airlock. Desperately, O'Shea radios for help, which arrives first in the form of Thunderbird 3, who extracts the technician. Alan attempts to force O'Shea into a space suit and out of the satellite, but O'Shea panics and refuses. Thunderbird 3 is forced to wave off as the satellite enters the atmosphere and Thunderbird 2 takes over. KLA is on a collision course with a large oil refinery and Thunderbird 2 prepares to destroy it when they pick up a transmission from O'Shea. Unable to radio Thunderbird 3 (due to a component needing to be changed in Thunderbird 5) and confirm O'Shea was clear, Thunderbird 2 is forced to destroy the satellite by non-conventional means (ie: diverting its crash path), convinced that they've killed a man. On return to Tracy Island however, it's revealed that Alan managed to persuade O'Shea to don a space suit (accidentally starting a tape of O'Shea's show in the process). Alan refuses to elaborate on how he did this or whether it's related to the impressive black eye O'Shea seems to have picked up.

Added DiffLines:
* AsYouKnow: While waiting on confirmation on where to (presumably) safely destruct the rogue rocket, professor Marshall explains the purpose of International Space Control to the launch operator, something which he is probably well aware of.
Added DiffLines:
* {{Hypocrite}}: Jeff makes a big issue out of unregistered satellites being a danger to other spacecraft, but conveniently doesn't seem to have a problem with his own space station (Thunderbird 5) and rocketship (Thunderbird 3), both of which are unregistered and shielded from radar (which means that while International Rescue is probably a great deal more careful than space pirates, there's still a risk of collision with other spacecraft who don't expect either Thunderbird 3 or 5 in their trajectory).

The pirate radio satellite KLA, with its star disk jockey Rick O'Chet, is a popular music source for the young and hip - especially Tin Tin Kyrano. Her obsession with O'Chet annoys Alan Tracy, who thinks himself unable to compete with the flashy DJ.
Disaster strikes when KLA is crippled by a faulty space launch. With its systems damaged and orbit decaying, the satellite tech attempts repairs, but is trapped in the airlock. Desperately O'Chet radios for help, which arrives first in the form of Thunderbird 3, which extracts the technician. Alan attempts to force O'Chet into a space suit and out of the satellite, but O'Chet panics and refuses. Thunderbird 3 is forced to wave off as the satellite enters the atmosphere, and Thunderbird 2 takes over. KLA is on a collision course with a large oil refinery, and Thunderbird 2 prepares to destroy it when they pick up a transmission from O'Chet. Unable to raise Thunderbird 3 and confirm O'Chet was clear, Thunderbird 2 is forced to fire on the satellite, convinced that they've killed a man. On return to Tracy Island, however, it's revealed that Alan managed to persuade O'Chet to don a space suit (accidentally starting a tape of O'Chet's show in the process). Alan refuses to elaborate on how he did this, or whether it's related to the impressive black eye O'Chet seems to have picked up.

*AlmostOutOfOxygen: Loman, the satellite's tech, suffers from this when he gets trapped in the airlock.
*BuccaneerBroadcaster: KLA is this, [[RecycledInSpace In space]]
*ContrivedCoincidence: the KLA satellite just happens to be in the same spot the malfunctioning rocket explodes.
*GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Alan does this offscreen to the terrified O ‘Shea. We later see O ‘Shea with a huge black eye, but he is nonetheless thankfull that Alan did it.
*OneNoteCook: honey crunch crispies are apparently the only form of breakfast on board the KLA satellite.
*ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Since we don't see the complete rescue, everyone believes O'Shea is indeed dead after the KLA satellite crashes. It's not untill later we learn he is safe back on Earth, and what Virgil and Brains heard over the radio was just an old recording.
*SadisticChoice: Brains and Virgil face one; save the oil refinary at the price of (apparently) blowing up Rick O'Shea in the process, or allow the satellite to crash on the refinary.
