spaceship

The stories behind sci-fi props can sometimes be as fascinating as the props themselves. Let's take a look at the Nostromo spaceship from Alien, which was left under a tarp on a driveway for two decades until it was rescued and restored.

“Red Dwarf” follows the adventures of the spaceship of the title, a six-mile-long, five-miles-tall, four-miles-wide vessel adrift in deep space.

Trapped aboard the ship, Scouser Dave Lister is the only human left in the universe after a radiation leak three million years earlier.

The thrust of the early shows is Lister's desire to return home.

The lead actress of the show once complained “The script writers weren’t even aware of the capabilities of the spaceship!" And that spaceship would be the Phoenix Five which is on a mission to patrol the outer galaxies and to capture Zodian the humanoid whom with the aid of his computers Alpha and Zeta endeavors to become dictator of outer space.
