The problem is that his profession is not what he shares with people as he does have a connection to Project Ascension. Enzmann, only he’s on Earth and his father is in the hospital having suffered a stroke. That’s when we discover that they are on the spaceship Ascension! Meanwhile there is a middle-aged engineer who turns out to be the son of the same Dr. Enzmann as he proposes the idea of creating a generation colony ship to fly into space. Rewind the clock 18 hours and we see an interesting collection of people whose connections with each other are not yet revealed, and they are getting ready to celebrate something called “Launch Day.” As the party progresses we see them settle down to watch some historical film with a very 60’s looking film projector, and they see footage of a scientist named Dr. The series opens with something that clearly feels like the 60’s where a young woman named Lorelei goes swimming, and then she’s found murdered. What would have happened if the US had been able to launch a colony spaceship, not in the years to come as we hopefully will do regarding the planet Mars, but in the not so distant past, and even then it was to Proxima Centauri? That was my approach to this series Ascension, first broadcast on SyFy and now on Netflix.
