Tonight we continue with Part Four, Heroes and Scapegoats. The Santa Maria is now hurtling toward Earth; a journey which in normal circumstances would take just over fourteen years. The crew fully believe it won't take nearly that long because word from Space Programme is that the new re-supply ship Nautilus will be intercepting them in only four years; delivering them to their homes and families by the year 2107.
Nevertheless that's still a healthy chunk of time. It will leave folks like B.J. and Captain Steinhart - for that matter, the majority of the crew - with little to do in the meantime but find ways to entertain themselves.
