Are they f$%^ing retarded?
This bunch of morons is supposed to be "the brightest ones"? Seriously? Scientists, engineers, technicians, doctors and so on, can't f-ing figure out that this ship is fake?
shareEver been to Disney? I went on the Mission to Mars ride where you sit in a seat inside a capsule but due to movement and screen visuals your senses are "fooled" into thinking you are actually taking off from your location.
The people in this show had no reason to doubt they were on a ship.
I've been to Disney and attractions like it, but never been fooled. One could get lost if they were in a maze, i.e. become disoriented, but eventually they would figure a way out. The whole point is for Christa to evolve, but the smart people would've figured it out that they weren't in space way before that. Some people today think that we should colonize Mars when it is a terribly inhospitable planet, so people will believe anything.
shareI wouldn't be fooled either if I'd paid admission to a theme park attraction.
shareThey had plenty of reasons to doubt it. For one thing: the stars were projected onto a screen which was only a few meters away. That's an instant giveaway to anyone looking out the window.
shareWhat I've been wondering is if these characters, the XO for instance, were born on this ship, how have they earned campaign ribbons or medals displayed on their uniforms?
Oh yeah, it's just a movie. Excuse my nit picking.
I know you're being sarcastic but that's not very hard to explain, is it? They could've changed the meaning of them?
Anyways, I liked Ascension and nitpicking is fun. And you're excused.
But if they've (supposedly) been in space for their whole lives, what could the "campaigns" even be? Do they get medals for banging the most stewardesses or something? Which still wouldn't seem to be much of an accomplishment, under the circumstances.
shareThat's why they have so many of them.
