Marc Zicree here. As a kid I loved STAR TREK, TWILIGHT ZONE, OUTER LIMITS, FORBIDDEN PLANET and grew up to write for such great shows as STAR TREK – THE NEXT GENERATION, DEEP SPACE NINE, BABYLON 5, SLIDERS and more.
I often hear fans say, “Why are there so few good sci-fi shows on TV, and why do so many go south?” I can tell you – frankly, most of the network suits just don’t get it.
But you and I do.
So when I recently got the idea of creating a new show inspired by the sense of wonder and possibility science fiction gave me as a kid, I realized I didn’t need a network or studio to make my dream come true -- just Kickstarter and you.
We have a great show we’re chomping at the bit to make – our video and website will tell you all about – and rewards that the geek in all of us would die for (especially the $250K rocket set).
Thanks for making it happen. Or I could just say, “Spacemen’s luck!”

Re: Space Command: A Retro space adventure movie backed by KickStarter
It does, I tend to stick actual products and/or games on KS, but I'm willing to contribute, want to see the reward tiers flesh out, and some character/story plotlines before I jump in. But the pedigree in who is behind this, as well as some of the vision gives me hope.
