About this show

In 1963, the U.S. government launched a covert space mission sending hundreds of men, women and children on a century-long voyage aboard the starship Ascension to populate a new world. Nearly 50 years into the journey, as they approach the point of no return, a mysterious murder of a young woman causes the ship’s population to question the true nature of their mission.

Quantum physics states that the state of matter at the quantum level changes as soon as it is observed. Some physicists are now hypostualizing that these changes also happen in the macro world. I think the mere fact that accession was being observed would adversely effect the results. Was a good watch though.

Love this show. Suppose to be six episodes. This is only show three episodes plus two short behind the scene. Totally disappointed. Also pretty cliffhanger since its end with many mystery and lot of questions still unanswered.

No wonder it didn't become a show. I thought it would be like BGS, but instead they're on earth the whole time. Not a spoiler alert, because they reveal this in the first episode.
