While the explosion is in it's own scene, hit the Shift All Keys button
under the Scene panel and offset the keyframes by an appropriate amount.
You may have to make a keyframe at frame 1 first for all objects, because
shift keys will not affect keyframes at 0.

You may also want to parent the entire explosion to a null object...it
makes precise placement of the explosion much easier once it's loaded
into the new scene...just parent the null object to your spaceship after
it's loaded and re-position it, if necessary.
