Earthship Ark -
Huge spacecraft featured on the Canadian
produced science fiction series THE STARLOST/SYN/1973.
The "Earthship Ark" was designed to carry
clusters of domed-biospheres which enclosed some
3 million survivors of the planet Earth. Built
to save mankind when Earth faced extinction, the
spacecraft was sent into space on a course for a
new planet.
Unfortunately, an accident 100 years into the
flight killed its crew and caused the ship to
malfunction. Now 800 years into its voyage, the
Ark is on a collision course with a star.
Descendents of the Biospheres (who believed they
were actually living on the surface of a real
planet) penetrated the master computer room by
accident and thus activated the
voice-controlled computer
computer. With the help of the computer, these
survivors (Keir Dullea as Devon, Gay Rowen as
Rachel, Robin Ward as Garth) struggle to put the Ark back on course to its
original destination.
