There are a number of challenges associated with surviving in outer space: the current human need for oxygen, water, food, waste management, heating, as well as space's lack of gravity, being unable to hear what is going on outside, and other issues all make space life a difficult proposition. Any Casual Interstellar Travel drive requires an hour to "warm up" and is the most fragile thing on the ship. A single pebble travelling sufficiently quickly could kill you, or at least destroy one of those important life-support systems; these systems are either very-high-maintenance or require the use of an AI to keep everything under control. If you were to send a Distress Call, the nearest help would be a week away. And the interior of your spacecraft is designed to look as cold, clunky, mechanical, and minimalistic as possible — it might as well be a flashy Haunted House. And that's when things are working correctly. Now throw in a malevolent or malfunctioning AI that controls all of the above, or hostile aliens that you have never seen before trying to use you for breeding. But you can't go outside without taking on even more risks, such as getting a puncture in your space suit or the doors locking. Everyone but you has died, and realistically your problems cannot be solved by simply shooting them. There aren't any other sentient beings within years of your location, but it doesn't matter since In Space Nobody Can Hear You Scream. Perhaps you can start an Apocalyptic Log so that when people do arrive, they know what you've been through and how to prevent the situation from happening again — it also allows you to talk to, and fill your days with, something, which might help prevent you from going mad from the isolation. Still, you will likely consider your slow, lonely death by maybe starvation, maybe suffocation, but probably not suicide as you don't even have the implements to end it all. You're alone, in the cold depths of space, without hope of even seeing another human or your home before you die. You may not know if you die, because space already looks like oblivion. For story purposes (especially in the past when hard sci-fi wasn't prevalent due to lack of knowledge) the deep sea works just as well, since it has similar conditions for survival and similarly severe risks for going outside. In some ways it is worse, given how any people that could help are no more than a few miles away, but usually cannot be contacted. Sub-Trope of Sci-Fi Horror. Compare Eerie Arctic Research Station and Eldritch Ocean Abyss for more terrestrial counterparts. Functions by means of Enclosed Space and the Closed Circle. If the isolated people are instead focusing on their insignificance or the deep vastness of an unknowable universe, it's a Cosmic Horror Story — the two can overlap. |

Gravity: The fact that it happens on Earth's orbit matters little — there is no way to contact anybody, there is very little air, there are very few options to escape, the roaming debris going at hundreds of miles per hour destroys everything that gets in the way, and sanity begins to slip under such stressful conditions. It's probably a quick death if you get hit with that debris, but it's in no way merciful. | |

The Expanse uses this on the very first scene of the series, with Julie Mao waking up in a ship that is marooned in space, with failing power, communications that may or may not be working right, and eerily empty. And then it turns out that the reason why it's empty and losing power is because the protomolecule has eaten the whole crew and is syphoning juice from the reactor. | |

A major plot element in Thebe and the Angry Red Eye. After a ship with a crew of seven is severely damaged in a space disaster, the only survivors are Thomas, the protagonist, and a tomato plant he adopts as a Companion Cube. Much of the story centers on Thomas coping with his terrible loneliness and trying to avoid Sanity Slippage. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency: In the final battle, Kars is launched into space by a volcanic eruption. His attempt to return to Earth by venting air from his body backfires when the moisture in the air freezes solid and he drifts even further away from Earth. Even worse, his immortal Ultimate Life Form body can survive even in the vacuum of space. After an indeterminate amount of time drifting alone in space, Kars' mind can't take it anymore and he simply stops thinking. | |

The Ghostship series are Steam indie First-Person Shooter Survival Horror games set on an abandoned ghostship that has been taken over by insect aliens and zombies. They're mostly known for being highly non-linear with you being able to explore the entire ship from the start of the game, and for being incredibly janky due to being made by a single self-taught programmer as a passion project. | |

Wolf 359 has "Mayday", a Bottle Episode where Eiffel gets launched into space in Lovelace's ship. The ship sustained heavy damage in the explosion that launched him away from the Hephaestus, leaving the engines completely non-functional as he drifts off into space, with only radio static and hallucinations of his crewmates for company. He keeps himself alive by repeatedly cryogenically freezing himself and using his one functional engine to turn slightly every 72 hours, which would get him close enough to the Hermes-station to radio them for help. It's not until months into his trip that he realizes that it would take him about 6000 years to get close enough to the Hermes, at which point his cryo-pod breaks down due to lack of water. Fortunately, his final radio broadcast gets picked up by the Urania, and he gets rescued by SI5 and returned to the Hephaestus. | |

Duskers is set in a Derelict Graveyard universe where you are apparently the last person left alive, and must explore the crumbling, monster-infested derelicts to learn what happened to humanity — and scavenge the supplies to survive. Like many other genre examples, the interface and the nature of the threats are evocative of the first Alien movie. | |

A key part of the horror of the Dead Space series is that, aside from a voice in his helmet, Isaac is utterly alone against various nightmarish monstrosities, in a situation with no chance of escape or rescue. This is particularly pronounced when you enter the vacuum of space — Space Is Noisy is strongly averted, leaving you drifting inches from disaster, reliant solely on your eyes to see any threats. | |

The third Don't Escape game takes place on a spaceship whose crew have all been horribly murdered save the protagonist, who starts the game about to be jettisoned out the airlock. Since he murdered them while possessed by a sentient crystal, it was trying to kill him before he could solve the mystery and warn the incoming rescue ship. Unlike most examples, the ship actually seems quite pleasant to live in. | |

The Martian might take place on the surface of Mars rather than in space per se, but it still has all the trappings of this trope. NASA astronaut Mark Watney is marooned Robinsonade-style on a barren planet without a breathable atmosphere, one sufficiently serious equipment failure away from dying in a variety of unpleasant ways and with a very limited supply of food and other consumables. A rescue mission would take many, many months to reach him even if the rest of his crew and Mission Control didn't think he was dead, and the outpost's communications were irreparably trashed during the same accident that got him into this mess so he can't send a distress call. Oh, and he has nobody to talk to but his diary. Though unlike other examples, he takes his troubles in stride, and is ready to science the shit out of his problems. | |

The Breach: The game apparently takes inspiration from every space horror franchise from Event Horizon to Space Hulk, so naturally it takes place on a derelict space ship whose crew are either dead, zombified, or fused with insectoid lifeforms. And as the game progresses the ship starts merging with the alternate dimension responsible for everything. | |

Dr. "Bones" McCoy has a healthy fear of this, as he mentions in the beginning of Star Trek (2009). He goes on a lengthy diatribe of how dangerous it is to fly around in spaceships like shuttles and what may happen if they malfunction, how alien diseases are horrifying and how space in general is a collection of Death Worlds with an equally dangerous nothing in between them. | |

This is the ultimate truth behind the Penrose Program in SIGNALIS. A single human Gestalt pilot and a Replika android are sent out in a small spaceship into the deepest reaches of space, tasked with mapping the stars to find a planet suitable for colonization. This is effectively a Suicide Mission, as the mission only ends when a planet is successfully found, the crew runs out of supplies or the ship breaks down. Ariane willingly signed up for the program to get away from a society she didn't fit into, but she eventually regretted that decision. She may have had her beloved Elster to keep her company, but even that was not enough to stop her gradual Sanity Slippage from a lack of stimulation, being unable to ever leave the ship and radiation poisoning due to the reactor starting to leak. There's a reason why the Penrose manual recommends allowing the Replika to perform a Mercy Kill rather than suffer a prolonged death, which Elster's emotional attachment to Ariane sadly prevented her from going through with. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): The episode "The Lonely" is about a man stranded on an asteroid somewhere far from settled space, placed there to serve out a life sentence alone. A passing cargo hauler takes pity on him and leaves him with a female android, whose company he initially rejects before coming to accept it. At the end, his sentence is commuted, but the ship that came to pick him up can't take both him and the android, and he refuses to leave his only lifeline behind. The captain of the ship, with great reluctance (it's implied he's seen this before), shoots the android in the head, revealing "her" wiring, and tells the man, "All you're leaving behind is loneliness." | |

Subverted in Red Dwarf: Defied by Holly in the first episode. Recognizing that Lister will probably suffer this eventually, being the Sole Survivor of an Everybody's Dead, Dave scenario and trapped, alone, on a spacecraft the size of a small city and a million light-years away from the nearest human, Holly uses the ship's hard-light technology to recreate Lister's 'best friend' aboard the ship (i.e., the person he interacted with the most) — his insufferable boss, Rimmer. While free of the isolation, Lister isn't much in the mood to celebrate. At one point, Lister's main reaction at looking out of the cabin porthole into the awesome and terrifying infinity of Deep Space is how bloody arse-achingly dull and boring it all gets after a while... |

In "The Nothing Equation", a scientist named Green is left alone in a one-man observation bubble that has had catastrophic effects on his predecessors.

Love, Death & Robots: In "Beyond the Aquila Rift", Thom is trapped in a monster's colony somewhere far away in space. Since he's beyond where anybody travels, he has no hope of rescue and can only choose to accept the fantasy provided by "Greta". In "Helping Hand", gets stuck drifting in space with no propulsion and damaged oxygen tanks which will run out before help can arrive. In "The Very Pulse of the Machine", Kivelson is Almost Out of Oxygen on Io, with no way to call for help before her air runs out. She seems to slowly start going insane, though it's ambiguous how much is the Mushroom Samba and how much is real. |

Steven Universe: In "Bubbled", Steven is stranded in a bubble in space with Eyeball. He tries to get along with her, but she's intent on killing him. Eventually, he has to throw her out of the bubble (something that haunts him over the next season, though she does eventually get picked up by Homeworld), leaving him alone. Briefly opening the bubble to throw her out uses up most of the remaining oxygen and warmth though, so Steven curls up in the fetal position and the bubble shrinks around him as he waits for the end, and the camera zooms out to show the vastness of space. Luckily, the Crystal Gems find him just in time. | |

Mothership RPG by Tuesday Knight Games, follows a party of high strung teamsters, marines, scientists, and androids at the edge of space, with rules that expect your characters to be high stress and running out of oxygen. The module Dead Planet especially leaves your characters stranded with little hope of rescue in a system which disables hyperdrive, among other things. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, this happens to Trowa after Quatre accidentally blows up his mobile suit. He floats around in space for some time, but evidently gets rescued. It has a profound effect on him, causing him to go into a state of Trauma-Induced Amnesia and have flashbacks of cold and darkness. | |

Black Mirror: The ultimate fate of Robert Daly in "USS Callister" — his mind is trapped in the game, unable to exit with all the controls disabled, in an inert spaceship cockpit floating through the infinite darkness of the deleted game, with nothing to do but rant and flail impotently at the controls. Given an offhand comment implying that time doesn't flow the same way in-game as it does in the real world, Daly might be stuck like that forever. Honestly, serves him right for how he treated those sentient game characters. | |

Dark Heresy is built to facilitate this type of story, following Interrogators of the Imperial Inquisition in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It really hammers home what a miserable place the Imperium is, on a level that the main game, with its focus on simple battles, cannot. | |

Downplayed and discussed in Interstellar: Dr. Nikolai Romilly in one scene reveals to Cooper that he has no love whatsoever for being inside of the Endurance and the fact that a few inches of aluminum and titanium are all that is keeping him away from the endless, airless void of space and there's no sounds except for those of the life-support machinery doesn't helps him sleep. When he has to spend several years on his lonesome inside of the ship because of Time Dilation, the fact he spent most of it in cryo or focused on doing scientific work only barely kept him from Going Mad From The Isolation. | |

The Butthole Surfers song "The Last Astronaut" is an astronaut reciting what he sees to Ground Control, set to discordant music. Where it falls into this trope is when the astronaut realizes something horrific — implied to be nuclear war — has just annihilated humanity, leaving him trapped in orbit with no one to contact and no way to get home. | |

Outsider: At the climax of the prologue, Alex Jardin discovers that he's floating in space, having been thrown clear of the wreckage of Bellarmine as it was being destroyed. Not only is he utterly alone, he's been losing air through a crack in his helmet. After patching the crack and figuring that he has about a half hour of air left, he starts broadcasting mayday messages in both English and the Loroi Trade Language. As his air starts to run out, he yells out a defiant vow of vengeance against whoever destroyed Bellarmine, and starts to go unconscious as the Loroi cruiser Tempest discovers him. | |

At the beginning of Avengers: Endgame, Tony Stark and Nebula are on the Benatar, Starlord's spaceship, following the Snap when it breaks down and runs out of fuel, leaving them stranded light years away from a civilized star system. After they run out of food, Tony records a message, saying his goodbyes, though he mentions the possibility that since they're floating so far from Earth that the message may never be heard by anyone else. Luckily, Captain Marvel manages to find the Benatar and brings them back to Earth. | |

Moon: The protagonist is stuck on the far side of the Moon all by himself, with very little communication with the world and the claustrophobia starting to drive him loopy... this is before finding out just how horrifying the Corrupt Corporate Executive cabal he works for truly is (without going into spoilers, suffice to say he's more expendable that he expected to be). | |

The Magnus Archives features the crew of the Daedalus Space Station, described in episodes 57, 106, and 135. The expedition was funded to put the three man crew through a series of psychological tests about fear and isolation while in space, only for supernatural occurrences to begin to occur. Carter Chilcott spent between 3-6 months utterly without human contact, while Jan Kilbride had an encounter with some vast thing during a space walk. As for Manuela Dominguez, she was experimenting on a secret fourth crewmember, using a mixture of science and the occult to create the focus for a Ritual known as the Dark Sun, to blot out all light from existence. | |

Late into UQ Holder!, Karin is blasted into space as she tanks a spell meant for her comrades, sending her hurtling into the depths of space for 45 years. Since she's effectively completely immortal, she can't die and naturally being alone for that long really starts to get to her mentally, then she spots a sun that she's moving toward.... Luckily the protagonist Touta arrives to save her and she's spared the horror of being burned alive for a very long period of time. | |

Paperinik New Adventures: Issue #19 "Absolute Zero" certainly dabbles in the genre. Urk, Lyla and Paperinik travel to the rings of Saturn to investigate the disappearance of two astronauts, finding that their ship was abducted by an enormous alien starship. While exploring, they find that the ship is completely empty, save for a mysterious "Guardian" who stalks them throughout the dark corridoors. It turns out that the ship belonged to Xerbian refugees who sought to warn Earth of the Evronian Empire, but were intercepted and the crew abducted. The Guardian suffered the A.I. equivelant of a mental breakdown and had been trying to replace the crew he failed to protect, starting with the astronauts. The imagery of the issue includes empty hallways, rows of cryogenic pods and two solitary pods containing unconscious astronauts. | |

Firefly: In the episode "Out of Gas", the titular gas is oxygen, and running low (with a ship that is dead in the water) means sitting around waiting for a slow and painful death or, in a degree of scary that is hard to argue whether is lesser or higher, risking whoever finds you decides murdering you is more profitable (or more fun) than saving your life. | |

System Shock: The first game is an early FPS taking place on a space station taken over a murderous A.I., Shodan. System Shock 2 is likely the Trope Codifier for the genre in the modern video game space, a semi-non-linear first-person Survival Horror game in which you wake up on a spaceship whose security systems have gone berserk and whose crew have all either been killed or transformed into murderous mutants. |

Deliberately, the entire Metroid franchise is an example of this trope. The developers of the first game stated that it was their intention to make the player feel trapped and alone in a very hostile and alien world. The visuals and audio work to built the atmosphere of isolation. One of the series' main villains, Ridley, was even named as a Shout-Out to Ridley Scott, who popularized this subgenre with Alien. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was even criticized by some fans for not having enough of this, and feeling too much like conventional Space Opera — too many characters, too much easy travel, and just too wide a scope. |

Creepy Pastas: Lost Cosmonaut is about a woman who goes into space before Yuri Gagarin. She finds a "muttnik" capsule with half of a child's body orbiting it. When she threatens to tell, Mission Control blasts her into a higher orbit to starve or suffocate. In From the Cold has the protagonist alone in a moon base after the other astronaut died in an airlock malfunction. The dead astronaut tries to get back in... One has an experimental FTL engine fail, and the crew goes insane, eventually dying until the automatic return kicks in. In Thaw, sometime in the distant future, a man wakes up from his cryonic suspension onboard a spaceship, only to find himself only partially dethawed and trapped in his capsule, which seems to have failed. Then, he notices that the ship is on emergency lighting, and even that seems to be failing. THEN he notices that the other capsules in the room have also failed and either contains decayed corpses or blood splatters like someone bashed their heads open from the inside. Realizing that some sort of disaster has befallen the ship, he suddenly notices that they are still in orbit around Earth, having never left... except this Earth has a giant glacier of a new ice age covering most of the northern hemisphere, and no signs of human cities anywhere... In I Was an Astronaut and I Experienced Something Terrifying, the narrator has someone knock on the door of his capsule. He and his copilot are the only living things within several million miles... In some versions, "It" masquerades as his copilot, who begs him not to open the airlock. In The Lonely Stars, the protagonist and his space station is thrown back 1500 years in time by a Negative Space Wedgie. The story ends just as he begins to succumb to Space Madness. |

Partway through the original Gall Force, Luffy gives up her chance at getting back on the ship before it warps away, leaving her to drift endlessly through space.
