Mystery on the Moon

plot
On Earth’s moon, a man named Berridge threatens to destroy Space Headquarters using a powerful laser beam if he is not sent a freighter loaded with gold.  His hideout has a covering of roxite metal, which is resistant to laser fire.  However, the roxite must be pulled back in order to fire the beam.  Professor Haggerty has a large sheet of roxite coated in reflective paint attached to the Galasphere, which reflects the laser and destroys Berridge’s hideout.

notes
By the year 2100, Earth’s moon has been colonized.
