Makes no sense...
So you send criminals into space on what would be multi billion dollar space crafts... to do some crucial science for Earth (discover if you can harness energy from a black hole or something?)... and then of course murder, rape and suicide happens because you actually sent degenerates into space?!?
Usually space missions are manned by extremely competent men and women in the top of their fields. Ok... so not everyone is going to put their hands up for a suicide mission but there are plenty of people willing to go on one way trips in the name of science and adventure who are not suicidal, raping murdering civilians...
What a trash premise in the first place. Even in a grim utopian world criminals would not be jettisoned on one way missions into space via billion dollar space ships, they would just be exterminated.
And so then one pilot ventures near a black hole and dies because they went to fast? And the two at the end go to a 'new place' because they took it slow? Lol...
And what about the doggo spaceship? Didn't these ships need a regular 24hr check in report to keep life support going?
"... this is Spot reporting.. .. all systems normal... crew are getting restless from lack of doggy treats end report " lol
Trash in trash out.
