The first edition (BPv1) was demonstrated and released at Origins in 1997 to critical acclaim, receiving a nomination for the Game of the YearOrigins award.
The rulebook, weighing in at just under 350 pages, is almost a worldbook, with about five-sixths of its length dedicated to the alien setting. In keeping with its environmentalist theme, the game was dedicated to Jacques Cousteau.
The game received criticism for its overly involved character generation system and extremely lethal combat system.
A second edition of the game (BPv2) was published in 2000 by Fantasy Flight Games. This used a new role-playing game system, referred to as the Synergy Game System. The rules and modules were released in several books.
There was also a GURPS Blue Planet conversion of the original product released in 2002 by Steve Jackson Games.
The intellectual property of Blue Planet passed back from Fantasy Flight Games to Biohazard Games in 2004.
Partially filmed from orbit during space shuttle missions, the film is about the planet Earth. The changes and constants are highlighted, and the film attempts to show how fragile and unique Earth is. Origins of the planet, how it has changed, what man's role in change is, and other issues are discussed. The film features footage that was filmed from space, underwater, computer animations based on satellite data, and a variety of views from the surface to illustrate the topics.
National Aquarium Denmark, Den Blå Planet (Danish:Den Blå Planet, Danmarks Akvarium) is a public aquarium in Denmark. The original aquarium was located in Charlottenlund, but this facility closed in 2012 and most of the animal collection was relocated to the new and much larger aquarium Den Blå Planet (lit.: The Blue Planet) in Kastrup, a suburb of Copenhagen. The National Aquarium Denmark, Den Blå Planet opened to the public in March 2013 and is the largest aquarium in Northern Europe.
The main purpose of the aquarium is to disseminate marine information, help science projects, and help improve educational institutions.
The former aquarium
Denmark's Aquarium in Charlottenlund started construction in 1937 and was opened in 1939. In 1974, this aquarium was expanded to feature five large landscape aquaria and a biological museum with theme-based exhibits and aquariums. In 1990, the facility was further expanded by a new front hall, café, improved toilet facilities and a schooler service. In the final years before the closure of the aquarium in Charlottenlund, it had about 1,000,000 litres (220,000impgal; 260,000USgal) of water in about 70 aquarium tanks.

Let's Play Blue Planet - Entry 1 - Unexpected (1/5)
Welcome to Blue Planet my friends! This is a mod for Freespace 2 Open that takes place several years after the Freespace 2 campaign. Upon finding a way back to Earth, our battlegroup returns and finds things are not at all what we expected. In this entry I do two missions, the first being, ""A Blue Planet," wherein our flight does recon around Earth itself. The second mission, "The Dragon Awakes," kind of goes how you might expect with a name like that, but still, it's fairly chilling. This game is doing a great job of creating atmosphere and tension, and coupled with really good writing and voice acting, I'm finding myself really drawn into what's happening, as well as the people things are happening to. Well done, mod. :)
