The basic premise of the show that an explosion at a nuclear waste dump could produce enough energy to push the Moon out of the Solar System to wander the galaxy is an interesting product of its time. Concerns over the power of nuclear explosions was high and casual access to knowledge about the plausibility of such a scenario was somewhat limited.
There's a fan driven update called Space: 2099 that improves some of the more dated aspects of the show, including showing the Moon enter some type of portal or wormhole to make suspension of disbelief easier. While the Special Edition releases of Star Wars often suffered from updating certain aspects, especially special effects, the Space: 2099 changes were generally good for the show. Too bad they're unable to fund raise enough and get permission to do the entire series.
