Ascension Official Trailer #1 (2014) - Syfy TV Series HD - YouTube
The SyFy mini series Ascension premieres on Monday, December 15. There are total 6 episodes and they will air two episodes each night for three consecutive nights.
I am digging the premise.
From wiki:
"Ascension is inspired by the real-life
Project Orion that existed under the administration of President John F. Kennedy. The show sets up an alternate version of reality in which, in 1963, President Kennedy and the U.S. government, fearing the Cold War will become hot and lead to the destruction of the Earth, decided to launch a covert space mission. They sent 600 men, women and children into space on a century-long voyage aboard the USS Ascension, a massive, self-sustaining generation ship. Their mission is to colonize Proxima Centauri, assuring the survival of the human race. Nearly 50 years into the journey (i.e. in the present), as they approach the point of no return, the mysterious murder of a young woman — the first homicide since their departure— causes the ship's crew to question the true nature of their mission."
