Heartwarming / An Entry with a Bang!

• One of the things the various space agencies do is take some of their Astronauts (or equivalents) to the Moon. This includes the crew of Apollo 13, with Eugene Kranz being CapCom. The only one missing is Jack Swigert...
• When one of the mechs defending Mecca is crippled, an old man among those who rush to help the pilot asks Allah to take him instead of the pilot. His wish is granted.
• The moment where a mercenary company from a predominantly Muslim colony makes planetfall on Clancy-Earth... and sets eyes on Mecca, which in Battletech's backstory was obliterated in a nuclear attack. (For those not familiar with some of the teachings of Islam, there is no parallel to the spiritual significance of this city, not even Jerusalem or Bethlehem.) No matter your faith or lack thereof, their joy, relief and gratitude is deeply touching.
