SCIENCE STUFF - you'll find I really like science.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Andromeda - the ship is The Andromeda Ascendant - The Systems Commonwealth's High Guard Starship
IF YOU WANT TO WATCH SOME GREAT SCIENCE FICTION - This is a great drama that uses the most fun of science.
Most of the science is right on so pay attention!
Dylan Hunt is a Leader of the truth - he uses science and technology to make the world a better place. He is the Captain of the ship.
The rest of the crew, in no order is:
Tyr Anasazi is following the science of Darwin. He is a Nietzschean (nee-che-an) they are a variant of human.
Seamus Harper follows technology he is a functional engineer. He really loves technology because he understands it and can build what he wants.
Rommie the avatar (interface) of the ships computer just one of 3 interfaces with the ship that looks like a person only this one has a physical body a very nice interface.
Trance Gemini the purple girl (at least purple for a while) she is just so cute you have to love her. She might just save your life when nothing else can.
Beka Valentine she was the captain of her own ship but realized that this ship might be enticing enough to join.
Rev Bem a Magog a race that is decidedly not vegetarian but that doesn't make them bad or does it? He is actually the face of religion for the show.
ok so - go buy the first season - don't start watching it on TV yet! you can buy the first season for like $43 for 24 episodes no commercials and 40 minutes each.
http://www.andromedatv.com is the official site but you can buy the 1st season at local stores - call first. or if you want you can borrow it from me - I WANT IT BACK though I also own season 2, 3 and most of 4 season 5 is on TV now. I haven't started watching that yet I'm still catching up for the last 4 years. I was told (by five different people) the Matrix was a movie that I had to see but this series is much more of the way I really am.

Celestia Program
If you can't wait to go to the store to buy Andromeda right now and don't want to spend any cash then this the program for you.
its a free program that allows you to explore the Universe for yourself!
It is a 3D program that has the solar system and the rest of the Universe loaded into it - try selecting just one of the stars - they are all identified as well and it has way more than the 9 planets in our solar system - there are like 153 planets that we have discovered - anyhow this is real fun even on an older computer give it a try its not a very big program and is lots of fun!
