The Orbital Children Episode 1 – Watch the full episode with English subtitles – Extraterrestrial Emissaries.
The Orbital Children explores interactions with artificial intelligence (AI) and considers the different outcomes that can occur when AIs come to different conclusions about humans as they acquire different levels of understanding on the complexities of humanity.
AI within the series have restrictions placed upon them to limit their capabilities and prevent them from becoming too smart and potentially threatening humanity, a story element that becomes relevant in later episodes of the miniseries.
Episode 1 – Extraterrestrial Emissaries
Touya wakes from a dream. Mina, Taiyou and Professor approach Anshin hotel space station from Earth in the Japan Ex-tera 607 shuttle. A celestial body is spotted and Anshin’s communications and systems go down. The system is rebooted, the shuttle docks with Anshin and Touya welcomes the three kids from earth.
Anshin command crew discover a comet that was brought closer to Earth for resource harvesting; it has gone off course and is projected to collide with the station. The shock of the collision stops the elevator that Nasa, Mina and Hiroshi were in; it also sends Touya and Taiyou down a long passage.
