Episode 1 (Pilot) Redo

After a chat with my teachers we discussed that the episodes need more happening than just the facts about each of the planets.

Episode 1 Synopsis:

The team is assembled and after saying their good-byes they are ready for take off, after a final system check the crew blast off into space! To ensure all of the equipment is completely accurate the first mission is simple; to scan data from all of the planets in our solar system and to gather energy for the first interstellar expedition. Along the way we find out many interesting facts about our neighboring planets and their moons, and unexpectedly the ship intercepts a mysterious transmission from an unknown origin but unable to recieve anything but static they continue with the mission. Then finally with the mission complete and energy at full, the crew are anxious but ready to test the prototype propulsion technology to blast off towards the next objective, Alpha Centauri - 5 lightyears away.

Hopefully this should be enough for the pilot episode. There's already quite a lot of information to squeeze into the double episode, the whole solar system is a big thing to cover in one episode! Later episodes should have more room for more drama.
