	Most of the Eagles that crashed on the moon could be salvaged. It was
the ones that exploded that reduced the numbers. New supplies were constantly
being mined from under the base and (presumably) manufacturing new ships.
	Not that many people got killed off; an average of one per four episodes
at most so the population hovered around the 290's mark.
	The point made by constantly destroying their hardware and not the
people indicates that a message of lifes indisposeability was trying to be
conveyed. Concerning bug eyed monsters from other articles: Star Trek had its
share (remember the second pilot where the eyes turned silver) and the episodes
with Baloc and the Gorn? I'm sure that if the Horta had eyes they would glow.
