“The residents of a town displaced by an industrial accident agree to take over a failing mining base on the Moon as their new place to live and work. Their first big test comes in the form of a wave of radiation from a massive solar flare.”

A rather good portrayal of a possible long term lunar colony. The producers made the show as realistic as possible. Including an explanation for why everything looks like it’s in 1G, instead of 1/6G. Although I’m still trying to work out how you build a space station “half way” to Mars. They may have been referring to an “Earth–Mars cycler”. VHS copy, cleaned up and upscaled.
