Jul. 16th, 2012 11:26 pmNearly 300 years from now, the calendar is turning over to a new year, and a new age. In 2300AD, humanity is attempting to claim the stars as his own. Despite nearly destroying himself in the Twilight War, despite all the wars since, humanity has held on, and kept the dream alive. 2300AD is the story of that dream, as humanity, reaches out to the stars.
Humanity is "he"?
Exploring Tomorrow: The First Baby in Space aka Space Baby
So having slagged most of the episodes I end on one that actually wasn't too bad. The woman having a baby in space is up there because she's in the military and that's where they sent her. She's also the one who figures out the solution to the technical problem presented.
One issue they raise but don't solve is the issue of re-entry accelerations. Given that it will need to be able to survive nine (?) gees, how old will the baby have to be before it's not obviously going to kill it to subject it to re-entry accelerations?
(The US must have ended up spending a ton of cash on that kid)

Threads is movie about nuclear war. It's not as upbeat about it all as The Day After.
(Anyone have an audio clip of that?)
