I think we maybe shouldn’t read too much into Bond plots in general, and Moonraker in particular, which was rushed into production because they were terrified Star Wars was about to make Bond look old fashioned and irrelevant. Nobody stopped to think for very long about how (or if) the story held together. The film borrowed the name of a rocket, the name of the villain, and a scene in which Bond escapes from beneath the rocket just before it launches, and basically nothing else.
