Storyline
O'Neill and Teal'c test-fly the experimental spaceship X301, created from two captured Death Gliders. While they attempt a test run in the atmosphere, the craft flies into space. A message from Apophis plays to say that the traitors who took his property would die in the cold of space. Can the SGC find a way to bring them back, or will they die drifting ever further from Earth?

Trivia
In this episode Zulu time is used. Zulu time is the same world-wide and does not change based on time zones, it used by NATO and the military, especially in aviation (as do civilian pilots) so that all pilots, regardless of their location, are using the same 24-hour clock.

Goofs
It is stated that the death glider was traveling at 1 million mph. Even if Jupiter was at it's closest to Earth, about 365 million miles, it would take Teal'c and Jack just over 15 days to get to Jupiter. This assumes being able to travel in a perfectly straight line to intercept Jupiter at it's closest approach to earth. At the time that Carter says the time lag would be 3 minutes, this would already have put them almost 33.5 million miles away, or 1.4 days travel at 1 million mph.

While testing an experimental air fighter built from the two Death Gliders, Jack and Teal'c lose control and can not eject from the airplane that heads to the space. Out of the blue, the propulsion shuts down and they hear Apophis telling that the parts have a device to force the spacecraft to return home. Meanwhile Sam and Daniel try to find a means to rescue their friends. However they are short of time and the oxygen in the air fighter is exhausting. Will Jack and Teal'c be rescued in time?
"Tangent" is an episode with a different story. Instead of traveling to another planet, the SG-1 is testing an air fighter built from Goa'uld technology. However a problem happens and they need to find a way to rescue Jack and Teal'c. In the end, the plot is well-resolved. My vote is seven.
