Overview
Douglas Knox was a scientist and a member of the International Aeronautics and Space Administration. He was a childhood friend of fellow scientist John Crichton and graduated high school with him. In 1999, DK was part of the control crew behind Crichton's experimental flight aboard the Farscape-1 space module. John was suitably nervous about the mission, feeling that something "huge" was about to happen. DK monitored John's test flight and warned him about an approaching electromagnetic wave. He warned John to abort the mission, but it was too late. He lost contact with Farscape-1 when it entered the cloud and was pulled through a wormhole to a distant galaxy.
