Lexx (1997)

S4E19 Haley's Comet

The Lexx crew stumbles upon a space capsule occupied by a group of politically charged twenty-somethings: Haley, Amber, Ryan, and Josh. They assert that their mission in space is to broadcast a message addressing the issues of a deteriorating Earth and the effects of globalization. Thanks to Haley's trust fund, they managed to secure funding from the Russians to launch their ambitious journey into the cosmos.
