hot.
They're S edition raiders.
lt's another
mutant suicide squad.
Here we go. Man-to-man.
Split them up.
Last one to kill a bad guy
buys the beer.
l'm gonna go through the gate,
get infront of him.
That's not standard procedure,
Don.
Better get inside his shields.
You gen-techs are ugly upclose.
Target lock.
Showtime.
Bogey One dispatched.
Don, he's right on my tail.
Damn! Can't shake him.
l've been hit!
Weapons are off-line.
l'm gonna jettison
the main drive core.
There you are.
Am l good or what?
Warning. Failure
in redundant drive systems.
Gate control,
this is Ranger One.
Engines will not respond.
Don, l'm falling
towards the hypergate.
Breaking thrusters won't fire!
lmpact in 30 seconds.
Ranger One, this is base.
Rescue craft
have been dispatched.
Grissom, those pods will never
reach him in time.
l'm going in.
Major West, you are not
authorized to jeopardize--
Never liked that station anyway.
Warning. Proximity alert.
Hang on, Jeb. l'm coming in.
Abort. Abort!
l'll give you a little kiss.
Don't take this the wrong way.
lmpact in five seconds.
Does this mean
we're going steady?
You're not getting out
of buying those beers that easy.
With intrepid pioneering spirit,
the Robinson family...
will journey to the distant
world of Alpha Prime.
What kind of future can
our children look forward to?
A future in paradise.
The Jupiter mission...
made possible by the Army and
Silicon Graphics Corporation.
S.G.l. Saving the future
for our children.
Give me a break.
Holo-call
from Houston middle school.
Hello?
Hello, Principal Cartwright.
What has he done this time?
He hacked our main power grid
to run his experiment.
The school was in chaos.
Yeah, right.
We didn't even have lights.
This is no laughing matter,
Professor Robinson.
Will is terribly gifted.
The changing shape of education.
His little time machines,
though purefancy...
are the products
of a truly brilliant mind.
No more monkey business.
l mean it.
The boy is starved
for attention.
l know your life is anything
but normal right now...
but wasn't there some way...
his father could have
attended the science fair?
As you are aware...
Alpha Prime is the only other
habitable planet...
yet detected
by deepspace recon.
My crew will sleepaway
our 10-year journey there...
in suspended animation.
Once we have rendezvoused with
the research colony on Alpha...
I will supervise
construction of a hypergate.
By then,
technicians here on Earth...
will have completed
the companion hypergate...
in our planet's orbit.
Once both gates are complete...
ships will be able to pass
instantaneously between them.
lmmediate colonization
of Alpha Prime will be possible.
Can't you just use
the Jupiter's hyper-engine...
to zap straight to Alpha Prime?
Hyperspace exists
beneath normal space.
lf you try to enter hyperspace
without a gate...
your exit factor is random.
There's no telling
where you'd come out.
Ninety-eightpercent of
the galaxy is still uncharted.
There's a lot of space
to get lost in.
How is Captain Daniels
recovering from the flu?
Will he pilot the mission?
Ladies and gentlemen.
You came to get your first look
at the Jupiter 1.
Don't you think
you've waited long enough?
Let's move into the launch dome.
One more question, Professor.
Now that the mission's
been pushed up...
how do your children feel
about leaving the earth behind?
They couldn'tbe more excited.
This mission sucks!
l don't wanna leave early.
l don't wanna go at all.
We will discuss this at dinner.
For the last three years, l've
missed everything training...
so l can spend the next 10 years
missing everything else.
I'm not staying home for dinner.
I'm seeing my friends.
Penny.
l'm going out to say good-bye
to my entire life.
Penny, l need you here tonight.
Wait a minute.
On this eve, before she's torn
from everything she knows--
kidnapped...
hurled into deep space
against
