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.

My wife and I had doubts but fell in love with the show. With all the great reviews I cannot believe they are not making a season 2. Freaking bummer!!! And a load of crap

Should have not ended all weird, with more questions than answers.. but, oh well.. I guess. Ascension has far too much of a cliffhanger ending for me. Other than that, I was entertained pretty much the whole time.
