bullet::::- "lost in space" (1965–1968), television series created by irwin allen and variously directed. the astronaut family of professor john robinson, accompanied by their pilot major donald west and a robot, strikes out from an overpopulated earth in the spacecraft "jupiter 2". the crew is frozen in suspended animation for the five-and-a-half year voyage to a known habitable planet of alpha centauri, on which they are to found a colony. the ship is lost in space due to sabotage by an enemy agent, dr. zachary smith, who is trapped aboard the ship at launch. hurtling on into deep space, the "jupiter 2" crash lands on an unknown planet. although remote, this lost world soon becomes a stopping-off point for practically every space-travelling alien or monster in the galaxy, each episode seeing the arrival of some new visitor. (see "lost in space", the film, below.)
alpha centauri in fiction
the game plays in fictional alternative reality in the future, several hundred years ahead. the game starts when the name-giving space ship, the "ironseed," flees a theocracy on mars. the ship is manned with a disembodied, digitized only crew of rebels originally scheduled for termination. in hastily fleeing, the ship suffers damage and gets lost in time and space. the crew finds itself in unknown space somewhere in the milkyway with a badly damaged ship and nearly depleted fuel reserves. first objective is therefore finding resources for ship repairs and fuel while gathering intelligence about the surrounding space and also their own history. after encountering other alien species and learning about some greater threat, the ultimate goal becomes to forge an alliance of several alien races to counter this threat.
