The versions start differently.

Original Broadcast Version:
The Original Broadcast Version begins with a Universal logo, followed by a computer screen that shows the definition of the term "Cyborg" being typed in. With the following shot of a plane, the versions are basically back in sync. (43.24 sec)

Please note: In the Expanded Syndication Version, the definition of the term "Cyborg" comes right before Steve's surgery in which he gets his bionics (please see 44:35).

Expanded Syndication Version:
Here, we see the regular opening of te show. Funnily enough, one gets to see Martin E. Brooks, who plays Dr. Rudy Wells, in the show even though that character is played by Martin Balsam in the first pilot (and by Alan Oppeneimer in the first 2 seasons of the show). Furthermore, the credits after the opening have Martin Balsam listed as "Special Guest Star".

Subsequently, after several exterior and interior shots of the space center, we see Dr. Rudy Wells. He explains the main premise via voice-over during the footage of the launching missile. Moreover, we get to see some credits.
Rudy (via voice-over): "It is very difficult to believe that three years have passed since I stood there that day, performing my function a spart of the space project Moonshot-XYZ. My responsability was the physical and mental well being of the astronaut Steve Austin. Weh ad met four months prior to the launching. The two of us had entered into the regions of space medicine together, the unknown of the space frontier and the unpredictable problems that we encoutered brought the two of us together. From what had begun as a purely scientific doctor-patient procedure developed over the years into a relationship of deep friendship. One that ultimately knew what it meant to stand upon the threshold of death. Space flight and the unforeseen effects it has on the human body and mind presents may mysteries in scientific investigation."
Then a guy over the speakers: "Cleared for launch. T minus 3 minutes 30 seconds and counting."
Rudy's voice-over continues: "There is still so much for us to learn in the field of space medicine. But there were deeper and more provocative lessons in store for me about human behavior. Lessons that little to do with space but were more concerned with the question of human physical strength and the question of the courage of man."

Now, a conversation between Rudy and Steve. The latter is already inside the rocket.
Rudy: "Steve. Are you nervous? Everything OK?"
Steve: "Feeling good."

Several shots of the preparations for the launch follow. Then the countdown: "Five, four, three, two, one, zero!". The rocket launches and the staff watches the launch. Subsequently, there are several rotational shots of the staff and Steve on his way to the moon. At some point, Steve lands on the moon. He radios in that everything was fine.
Steve: "Landing on the stand."
While transmitting the exact coordinates, the staff members are cheering because everything went well.

Steve leaves the rocket and sets foot on the moon. After a while, he returns to the rocket and flies back. Rudy watches him on a monitor. (468.87 sec)

With the now following shot of a plane, the versions are back in sync.
More or less because there is one tiny difference: there is no text ("20 Months Later") in the Original Broadcast Version. Since it has just started, it would not make any sense at all.

Expanded Syndication Version 425.63 sec resp. 7 min and 5.63 sec longer


Alternate Footage
08:54

Now the credits in the Original Broadcast Version. Since the Expanded Syndication Version started with the opening of the show and further credits appeared subsequently, there is no need for any more credits in the Expanded Syndication Version. Other than that, the footage is the same (no screenshots).

no difference


Alternate Audio Track
10:15

After a short conversation between Rudy and Steve, the Expanded Extended Version contains another one of Rudy's voice-overs.
Rudy: "Steve Austin made two more trips to the moon after that first time. In a manner of speaking, I went with him on those trips, every foot of the way as it were, constantly checking for any signs of mailfunction, physically or mentally. But his was a body of superior physical strength and a mind of incredible perseverance. After his third flight, Steve was re-assigned to special duties for the U.S. Air Force. Cut with his orders were my instructions to stay with him and to be completely responsable for his health."
Basically, the footage during the voice-over is the same. Except the shots are insignificantly longer in the Expanded Syndication Version. The additional footage is completely irrelevant though.

Steve prepares for another test flight. Again, only the Expanded Syndication Version contains Rudy's voice-over.
Rudy: "The strangest premunition came over me as I stood there that day. It was a feeling of fear, one that I had never known. Always I had followed Steve during his Moonshots with complete confidence of his success but I shall never forget that day at the airport, prior to takeoff, when I stood there, pervaded with anxiety and this tremendous sense of helplessness, waiting for that terrible event waiting to play itself out. My entire life was changed in a period of ten minutes."

The footage is identical in both versions.
