"Waste of Space" is a comedically irreverant and
genre bending look at the crew of an antiquated cargo ship lovingly nicknamed The Cosmic
Cruiser. Captain Steven O'Rourke has succumbed to the monotony of repeated rock collecting
missions and is now an alcoholic slob spending most of each day passed out in his quarters.
Commander Roberta "Bob" Franz is a long time friend of the captain as well as the daughter
of a high ranking fleet Admiral. She transferred aboard the Cosmic Cruiser a few years ago
in an effort to get Steve back on track. To date, Bob's rehabilitation plan hasn't worked,
so now she's covering for him in order to keep them both out of hot water with fleet command.
To complicate matters half of the crew has transferred off the ship leaving only the
inexperienced and cocky Ensign Al Cook, his jovial yet half witted helm partner, Lt. Dana
Jones, and the brilliant, but deranged ship's engineer "Monty" Montgomery.
