PRINCIPAL (OVER)
This is no laughing matter, Mrs.
Robinson. Will is terribly gifted. His
little time machines, though pure
fancy, are the products of a truly
brilliant mind.
The Principal's body has become Twiggy's. Now that of an ape. Maureen
pulls open a closet. Will sits inside. Grins.
WILL:
The changing shape of education.
MAUREEN:
No more monkey business.
Will shrugs, adjusts his deck. The Principal returns to normal.
PRINCIPAL:
The boy is starved for attention. Was
there no way his father could have
attended the science fair?
EXT.-HOUSTON - DAY
Probably Austin and Dallas too. Texas has become a giant urban sprawl
spreading into Mexico and beyond. Immense industrial air purifiers hang
in a dark, wet sky.
EXT.-HOUSTON SPACE COMMAND-ESTABLISHING
A giant dome topped pedestal towers ever the skyline.
INT.-SPACE COMMAND-MISSION CONTROL-DAY
A MAN stands before a large viewscreen facing the throng of PRESS.
He's a little uncomfortable with all the media attention. This is
PROFESSOR JOHN ROBINSON.
JOHN:
Once we have landed on Alpha Prime our
on board robot will begin construction
of a hypergate.
ON SCREEN a hi-tech orbital gate is highlighted and expanded.
JOHN:
By then, technicians here on Earth
will have completed a companion
hypergate in our planet's orbit.
ON SCREEN an image of an orbital gate now under construction.
JOHN:
Once both gates are complete, ships
will be able to pass instantaneously
between them. The Jupiter can bring
the Dimondium back to Earth without
the ten year delay of a return trip.
REPORTER:
Why can't you just use the Jupiter's
hyperengine to zap straight to Alpha
Prime?
JOHN:
As you know, hyperspace exists beneath
normal space. If you try to enter
hyperspace without a gate
ON SCREEN a graphic spaceship appears randomly in the corner of a
turning schematic of the galaxy.
JOHN:
Your exit vector is random. There's no
telling where you'd come out.
REPORTER:
Professor, how is Captain Daniels
recovering from the flu? Will we still
be able to pilot the mission?
John glances to the doorway where a uniformed GENERAL stands.
GENERAL:
Ladies and Gentlemen, you came to get
a look at the Jupiter One. Don't you
think you've waited long enough?
John hits a button and the room darkens. A giant monitor reveals...
INT.-LAUNCH DOME
A giant saucer sits connected to its launch pad by loading belts,
steaming fuel tubes and spindled gantries.
REPORTER (OVER)
Professor, how does your family feel
about leaving the Earth behind....
JOHN (OVER)
They couldn't be more excited.
CHAPTER 3:
Goodbye!-------------------
EXT.-ROBINSON HOUSE-ESTABLISHING
A suburban colonial, the launch dome towering in the distance.
