Asteroids, Platinum Edition

S1, E19: After the Racers are assigned to study an asteroid, nefarious nogoodnik Vulture gives Hawk a secret mission: place a retro rocket on the asteroid to change its trajectory. Keeping any kind of secret from his friends makes Hawk nervous, and Eagle senses something is wrong. On the mission, the Racers try to calculate the asteroid’s trajectory, carefully figuring out where to intercept it so they can study its flight path. After some trial and error they land on it, where Hawk attempts to complete his secret task…but his pals see what he’s up to and get him to spill the beans. Eagle and Robyn are baffled. What’s so special about this asteroid? And why does Vulture want to change its flight path? Analyzing the asteroid’s composition, the cadets are shocked to discover that it’s largely made of platinum! What’s more, the new trajectory has altered the asteroid’s course…aiming it directly at Vulture’s private space station. Now how can they foil his greedy plans?
