 Dr. Smith was not supposed, nor did he want to go to Alpha Centuri with the 
 Robinson family.  Several hours prior to launch he entered the Jupiter 2
 and programmed the 'Environmental Control Robot' to destroy the ship   
 sometime after liftoff.  However, Dr. Smith, being the sort of man that 
 he was, decided that he had time to take a quick nap before the launch.
 So he pulled out a store away cot on the ship and went to sleep.  He did
 not awaken until just before lift off, and it was too late for him to get off
 the ship.  He decided he would steer the ship back to earth and played with 
 some controls which sent the ship into a frenzy.  Finally, he used a laser 
 pistol to blast open the suspended animation pod that Major West was in.  At 
 about that time the Robot starts to go nuts, following Dr. Smith's original
 sabotage orders (This eventually forces the Jupiter 2 to land for repairs
 in a latter episode).  The ship is off course, badly damaged, and the 
 Robinson family has the bad luck of dealing with Dr. Smith for the next
 three year's worth of episodes.
