Alternate Universes

Whilst commenting on Kronette's story "Back To Life" ( http://kronette.livejournal.com/270886.html#cutid1), we started discussing parallel dimensions and wondering why the original Ace, coming as he obviously did from a dimension where the human race has survived, didn't offer to take the Red Dwarf crew with him on his interdimensional travels.

My comment was as follows:

Thinking about it, your story raises an interesting question - why didn't the original Ace at least offer to take Lister with him?  (Apart from the obvious answer that the show's not about the adventures of Ace and Skipper - although I'd watch that!)

I know Wildfire's cramped, but they could have taken Rimmer as a light bee and temporarily dismantled Kryten (as I believe they did in one of Veronica's stories).  Surely they'd eventually have found a dimension where the human race isn't extinct?
