Overview:
Season 2 starts with the repaired Jupiter 2 launching into space.

Priplanus is being destroyed by a series of cataclysmic earthquakes.
The Robinson family crash-lands on a strange new world.
They become planet-bound again for the season.
Constraint Check: I need 160-220 words. The provided synopsis is very short.
Problem: The provided synopsis is only about 45 words. To reach 160-220 words without inventing facts is impossible.
Re-evaluating instructions: "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES." If the source is too short to meet the word count requirement without inventing facts, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules over the word count requirement, or attempt to expand using only the provided context. However, the instructions say "factual 160-220 word summary". If I cannot reach that length without violating the "never invent" rule, I have a conflict.
Wait, let's look at the sources again
