Life Aboard... The JMC Red Dwarf Part I | Spaceship Breakdown

3 million years from Earth, the mining ship Red Dwarf. The crew are dead, killed by a radiation leak save for one survivor, his dead bunkmate and an evolved form of his pet cat. But let’s not get bogged down on that - we’re here to overanalyse tiny little details to work out what the day to day life of a Space Corps Astro would be like.

See, not every trip into space means you’ll be tripping the void into distant star systems, nor is it guaranteed you’ll be coming face to face with an alien monstrosity from the far reaches of the galaxy. No, sometimes a day working in space is just another day, flanked by ocean grey walls and waiting for your next paycheck to clear before settling in for another six months of flight time.

Such is life aboard the JMC Red Dwarf.

Forget the laser cannons, the made up technobabble and let's ask ourselves what the important questions are - how's breakfast, and where do I sleep?
