Facts and Bloopers:
Drax's space station cannot be observed from Earth because of its radar-blocking device. How could he build such a city in space oblivious to intelligence sources, when the device was not yet in use?
Moonraker's battle inside a Venetian glass factory was originally written for The Spy Who Loved Me, set in an Egyptian antique museam.
This scene was discarded due to time restrictions. In Moonraker Drax conducted a board meeting with his industrial cohorts in the blast chamber of the shuttle.
