Here's a spoiler theory. No actual spoilers, just my theory on the plot based on the trailer.
Spoiler!
One of the crewmembers turns into a "space jockey" after tampering with genetic material they find. Fascinated by his transformation, he intends to infect earth with whatever changed him by firing off some genetic superbomb through the cosmos. Hence the jockey sitting in a chair with a big gun looking thing.
The jockey as we know it at the beginning of Alien is dead, killed by a facehugger/chestburster.
Somehow the crew of the Prometheus, having no obvious means at their disposal to defeat the traitorous/insane crewmember, figures out stuff about the xenomorph lifeform, chucks a facehugger into the chamber with the crewmember-cum-spacejockey, and it stops him.
We already know stuff about xenos are in the movie, because one of the still frames from the trailer shows a sculpture of a xeno, or perhaps even a xeno itself.
Anyway, the crew of the Prometheus escapes, and earth is saved. But now they have knowledge of this amazing, almost invincible lifeform. Surely Weyland-Utani might be interested in it for their weapons division...
