Although Hollywood Math is probably a better explanation. it may be that they have all been raised on inaccurate science fiction, and given inaccurate information about relativistic physics - or inaccurate information on the actual distance of Proxima Centauri - to make sure they don't question the nature of the ship. The twist at the end of the first episode shows that they are in fact under 1G, but you would think that the ship's inhabitants might question why their trip is so long. This may be an example of Hollywood Math however, as it only takes about a year to come very close to the speed of light if you accelerate constantly at 1G and their destination is around 4 light years away, which would make their trip 5-6 years long Earth-time, and 4 years ship-time (due to time dilation). Artificial Gravity: The starship is clearly intended to use acceleration gravity - it is structured like a tower, with "down" toward the engines and "up" toward the nose so if you accelerate constantly to the halfway mark, then flip the ship around and burn the engines in the opposite direction to slow down until you arrive, you could have a constant gravity all through the trip.
On the other hand he deeply cares for his people and his ship and is willing to risk his life for them.

Canada's CBC played the series as six episodes, airing once weekly, and online streaming services display the series in the six episode format, each named after parts one and two of three distinct "chapters" in the show. Meanwhile, back on Earth, the son of the project's founder is determined to keep the project going.Īscension was originally broadcast as three consecutive double-episodes, December 15-17, 2014, on Syfy.
After 50 years without incident, one of the colonists is found murdered, and tensions begin to rise among the colonists. The population is generally divided into two classes, the one living at the top of the ship in relative comfort, and the rest who are the ones who make the ship actually function. Ascension is a Syfy miniseries about an Orion Drive-powered Colony Ship secretly built by the United States at the height of the Cold War to establish a settlement at Proxima Centauri.
