This is a picture of the Functional Cargo Block, part of the International Space Station, being built in Russia, is there something they're not telling us?
Anyway now some quotes:
Pilot
Ambassador Londo Mollari: I was there at the dawn of the third age of mankind. It began in the
Earth year 2257 with the last of the Babylon stations located deep in neutral space. It was a port of
call for refugees, smugglers, businessmen, diplomats, and travellers from a hundred worlds. It
could be a dangerous place, but we accepted the risk because Babylon 5 was our last, best hope
for peace. Under the leadership of its final commander, Babylon 5 was a dream given form. A
dream of a galaxy without war, where species could live side-by-side in mutual respect. A
dream that was endangered as never before by one man on a mission of destruction. Babylon 5
was the last of the Babylon stations. This is its story.
Season 1
Commander Jeffery David Sinclair: It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, ten years
after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent
another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences
peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs,
and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of
spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last,
best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations.
The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
Season 2
Captain John Sheridan: The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace, a
self-contained world five miles long located in neutral territory, a place of
commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens, a shining
beacon in space, all alone in the night. It was the dawn of the third age of
mankind, the year the great war came upon us all. This is the story of the last of
the Babylon stations. The year is 2259. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
Season 3
Commander Susan Ivanova: The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace.
It failed. But in the year of the Shadow War, it became something greater: our
last, best hope for victory. The year is 2260. The place - Babylon 5.
