What would life be like, drifting aimlessly aboard a capsule in space? How could you live, work, and love under such conditions? And is it better to be the generation that spends its entire existence in space or the one that has to land on the new Earth ("Proxima," in Ascension-speak) and make a new life there somehow? The fact that Ascension bothers to consider such questions is interesting, and class wars between the upper- and lower-deckers on the ship are another point in the show's favor.
