[Men in Black] Does MIB have a presence in space.

Movie or comic I dosen't matter to me where you draw your answers.
Anyways I was watching the first movie again on Netflix and I was wondering were there no defenses against that battlecruiser? Does the MIB not have bases on other moons or planets or starships to defend Earth? Due to the nature of Thier work and all the technology they get access to I would think that they should.
Thanks in advance for answering. Also I still haven't seen the third movie. But spoil it if you have too.

Spoiler for MIB 3: They do have a moon based prison, yes, which means that they also have ships capable of getting prisoners and guards there.

However, an alien battlecruiser is a completely different kettle of fish to whatever space-dinghys the MIB team might have. We're an extremely small fish in an extremely large ocean, and whatever technology we have has either been confiscated from criminal aliens or given to us by friendly ones. We're not that smart ("human thought is so primitive it's thought of as an infectious disease on some worlds") to invent something that a belligerent alien race couldn't easily defeat. Really, making ourselves a neutral place where various aliens could meet was probably our best bet to avoid being destroyed by a passing alien's whim.
