Synopsis for "Mystery on the Moon!"

It is July 1969, and the United States is about to send the first manned mission to the Moon. Kree Sentry #459 has deemed that the mission to the Moon must end in failure and so rockets itself to the Moon in advance to insure that the mission ends in failure.
Learning of this plot, Reed takes Ben and Johnny with him to the Moon to battle the Kree Sentry and destroy the device it intends to use to destroy the Apollo space shuttle. After a battle against time, they manage to defeat the Sentry, and Johnny is able to destroy the device that is to be used against Apollo. Ben then carried Reed and Johnny back to the their ship and blast off for home, just as the Apollo space craft lands and Neil Armstrong says his historic words "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!"
