1	Awesome moments in ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''.
2	----
3	* D.E.C.A. and Alpha get one in "Satellite Search". The Rangers are chained down in a DeathTrap with a giant monster about to eat them...and Alpha orders D.E.C.A. to form the Megazord, then fly down and hold it off. While they don't win, they manage to hold it off long enough for the Rangers to get free. Andros even congratulates the two for a good job before [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating the crap out of the monster and throwing it into a volcano.]]
4	* Bulk, Skull, and the population of Angel Grove, and their re-enactment of the IAmSpartacus scene.
5	** Followed shortly by another SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Bulk and Skull when they lead the citizens to enter the fray, fighting alongside the Rangers against quite frankly impossible odds. Bulk throttles a Quantron with one hand to protect Zhane and Skull pulls a Piranhatron off of Ashley.
6	** During the night before Astronema's attack, some of the citizens gather to discuss the ultimatum she's given: if they hand over the Power Rangers, she'll spare Angel Grove and its people. One woman has lost faith in the Rangers and suggests that they surrender, but Bulk and Skull remind everyone of how the Rangers have always been there for them, and they can't give up now. The next day, that woman is among the first to join the others in resisting, proudly declaring that she's the Yellow Ranger.
7	** The fact that the rangers morphed in full view of the public in the above scene. It can be taken as an awesome emergency action, or, more likely given the context, a sign of respect: On that day, '''everyone was a ranger'''.
8	*** The finale: holy hell, Earth's been enslaved by the bad guys and ''Bulk and Skull'' are the BigDamnHeroes! And the rest of the episode was just as awesome, even without knowing any of the context beforehand.
9	** There's also the scene where Bulk very nearly wards off a monster by convincing it that a toaster is some kind of deadly weapon. Unfortunately Professor Phenomenous has to open his mouth and ruin it, but that took balls.
10	** And Bulk, Skull, and Phenomenous blasting off in an experimental rocket to try to stop an asteroid from hitting the Earth. Man, they became awesome this season.
11	* Both times Andros and Astronema fought one-on-one ("The Secret of the Locket" and "Countdown to Destruction") and the entirety of "The Rangers' Leap Of Faith."
12	* Can we just discuss how awesome from a villain perspective the Psycho Rangers are? Their first episode alone shows how badass they are, easily beating the rangers without breaking a sweat. To put this in perspective, they ''Almost KILL'' the Power Rangers in their first episode!
13	* Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}}: Andros is walking down the hall, happy because ThePsychoRangers have been defeated--but look! There's Psycho Red, coming right at him! After a quick, heart-stopping fight, Psycho Red removes his helmet--it's [[SixthRanger Zhane]]! Who scared the living crap out of his best friend just for the hell of it! Go Zhane!
14	** This only happened a few episodes after Zhane messed with the Psycho's heads as Psycho Silver, too.
15	** Andros' form of payback is pretty good too.
16	* In "Silence is Gold", thanks to there only being three Psychos left, the Rangers manage to, for the first time, outright ''beat'' the Psycho Rangers in a straight fight by double teaming each of them and using really good team work.
17	* In "The Enemy Within", Psycho Red has Andros dead to rights...when the [[BigDamnHeroes Astro Megazord arrives to distract him]] and let Andros blast him away, thanks to Alpha.
18	* The scene in "The Secret of the Locket" where Astronema zaps one of her own Mooks in order to prevent it from attacking two kids and their mother, due in large part to the audio. During the fights leading up to it, there's a lot of generic fighting music playing, but the minute Astronema kills her own Mook, there's absolutely no music at all playing. It reflected the shock and confusion that viewers (not to mention Andros, Ecliptor, and ''Astronema herself'') were experiencing.
19	** Following this, in "The Rangers' Leap of Faith", Astronema does TheMole turn to GambitPileup proportions, giving the Rangers a tip that leads them into a trap and then turning in a room full of mooks. She tells Darkonda to [[NeverSayDie destroy]] the Rangers and once he readies to strike he is blasted and falls down, just like in the above scene. Darkonda is then finished off by some beams from a wounded Ecliptor, who fights his way through the mooks and supports his surrogate daughter in her HeelFaceTurn. Meanwhile, the Rangers form a circle around Astronema and Ecliptor and hold off a now angry mook army that wants to tear their BigBad apart. Ecliptor does a HeroicSacrifice, holding off a few dozen Quantrons and the like so to allow Karone enough time to escape.
20	* Carlos' return from his {{Ten Minute Retirement}}, where he anticipates the same position-switching trick the {{Monster Of The Week}} fooled him with earlier and jumps off Adam's shoulders to nail it with his staff.
21	** From the same episode, Adam morphing with his damaged original morpher. With a familiar yell of "MASTODON!", he becomes the black Mighty Morphin' ranger one more time, risking his life to do so.
22	* Ecliptor's several-minutes-long fight with Darkonda in "Astronema Thinks Twice," including resisting the merging spell he'd been subjected to in an earlier episode through sheer force of will.
23	* Alpha and D.E.C.A. (the Astro Megaship's computer) in "The Impenetrable Web," fighting off Ecliptor with HomeAloneAntics after he breaks into the Megaship.
24	* OneShotCharacter Waspicable deserves one for his {{Heel Face Turn}}, taking a hell of a barrage of energy blasts from his former king and even running against them to get his own hits in.
25	* Despite being a major TearJerker, the ultimate defeat of nearly all the evil forces and the ultimate sacrifice of Zordon during the climax of the "Countdown to Destruction" GrandFinale has to be, by far, ''the'' defining moment for Power Rangers as a whole.
26	** Zordon didn't just volunteer to perform a HeroicSacrifice, he ORDERED Andros to shatter his tube.
27
28	* The sentient cars Storm Blaster and Lightning Cruiser escape from Divatox (who captured them at the end of the last season) without any help from the Rangers. Even when Lightning Cruiser is recaptured, it's treated like a HeroicSacrifice to let Storm Blaster escape
29	* The first part of "From Out Of Nowhere" (yes, ''the first part'' of the ''very first episode'') was spectacular. It sets the stage and tone for the entire season. In particular, the sequence that starts as soon as the Rangers' shuttle is docked with the Megaship outside of their control is simply astounding. They find themselves on board an [[NothingIsScarier empty ship, traversing the deserted corridors and even finding just-made food that has been abandoned]]; it's the kind of thing you'd expect from an ''Film/{{Alien}}''-esque blockbuster movie.
30	* In "Wasp with a Heart," a good-hearted monster was shot and wounded by another monster, while shielding Cassie from the blast as she'd been overpowered and was helpless. When Cassie spots the injured monster, who she had grown to feel sorry for, in immense pain she turns down-right scary. At that moment, Cassie could have probably taken down Ecliptor and Astronema by herself unmorphed.
31	* The first CurbStompBattle between the Space and PsychoRangers was absolutely awesome. And then T.J. actually uses strategy to fight back. The only reason the Psycho Rangers didn't kill the team was because Astronema's plan wasn't yet finished.
32	* Another one for Ashley. After being captured, she survives and evades both Psycho Pink and Psycho Yellow (when all the rangers had trouble holding their own one-on-one). She also remembers an injury Pink sustained earlier and gets the team to target that area, becoming the first ranger to lead the take down of a Psycho ranger.
33	* Dark Specter's death is one for him: he tanks a planet-busting missile from Darkonda, disappears in multiple explosions... Then he ''reappears, '''takes a second missile in the face''' to protect Astronema and Ecliptor, and '''eats Darkonda and his ship'''''. Only then he actually dies.
