Project+SOS+(Save+Our+Species)



=‍Name of Your Project Proposal: //Project SOS (Save Our Species)//=

=‍Explain the Problem:= A "Big Freakin Comet" is gonna pown the world. We have a couple years to prepare, but the prospect of stopping such a "big freakin' rock" is dismally minimal.

‍Explain the Solution (sanctuary for 1,000,000 people): //Put 1,000,000 people in reinforced bunkers underground.//
The structures would be fully equiped with functional civilian barracks, a hospital, large food court, grocery stores, and many other amenities. There would be air-locks built by NASA at all entrances and exits just in case any noxious gases were present in the atmosphere. The ventilation system would be top of the line, considering that deep in the caves the temperature would be far below normal. The bunkers would be in excess of 300 million square feet, with a combined 9 miles of roads underground. Cars would not be present in the bunkers other than military vehicles in storage. Golf carts and bicycles would be limited but allowed. Rations would be given each and every day, however the food would be nearly unlimited seeing as how we would have enough food provided to keep all 1 million citizens alive for up to 5 years. Greenhouses with artificial lights will help create vital vegetation, necessary for feeding livestock and people as well. Life for the average person would be relatively easy, comprised of college level classes and above for the young adults present in the bunkers. Many people would have jobs and other things to do with their days. Part of the bunkers would be taken up by flora and fauna storage, laboratories, and military barracks. Martial law would take effect once the caves were populated by civilians.

=‍ Explain How You Would Choose:= We have chosen who would best ensure the continuation of our species following the impact of the comet. After much deliberation we have decided that only people between the ages of 16 and 40 would be allowed in to the bunkers, with some exceptions. Babies would not be allowed in the bunkers because their practicality is...nonexistent. The elderly would also not be permitted in the bunkers because they have lived long and hopefully fulfilling lives, and physical capabilities such as successful procreation and physical fitness would all be required to best repopulate and re-civilize the planet. The decision to not allow such a large percentage of the population is sad yet necessary. Children would not be spared, simply because they cannot yet fulfill the needs of society that would be integral to the success of maintaining humanity. The exceptions to the age limitations would be government and special skill officials. Probably around 100,000 of the million people in the bunker would be persons with specialized talents and education that would allow them to better rebuild the country. The best engineers, scientists, medical professionals, and government officials would all be included in the bunkers with total exception to age. A government would be in place in the bunkers, with 5 members of the House of Representatives, and 5 senators all placed in the bunkers with the current Vice-President serving as the President following the 2 year period of total lack of sunlight. There would also be about 10,000 soldiers present to keep order and ensure the safety of American citizens in the caves, and after they emerge from the caves. Some of the qualifications that need to be met to be accepted as a member of Project "SOS" is U.S. citizenship, employment, and at least a high school diploma. A clean bill of health and relative physical fitness are also strongly encouraged. Psychiatric evaluation will be given to any suspicious persons with interest in being apart of the project. No felons will be authorized to enter the caves, and people with misdemeanors will be highly scrutinized. Seeing as how procreation is an important factor in repopulating and revitalizing our nation and our world, married persons will be strongly motivated to have children in the latter part of their time in the caves. For instance, when there are only a few months left till people will start leaving the bunkers, reproduction will be looked upon with the highest satisfaction. This may come as a concern to people who don't understand why children cannot be admitted into the caves, but there is simply much work to be done in the two years underground that children just cannot do properly since they're not fully developed human beings. Marriage and childbearing within marriage will be strongly recommended since both disease and infidelity are such negative potential prospects of sexual encounters in the caves with multiple subjects. We want our society and our country to be one of health and morality, and seeing as how viruses like AIDS are so deadly and expensive, we wish to eradicate them by not admitting anyone in the caves with AIDS. However, it's very hard to know who has the disease, and performing 1,000,000 blood tests is unrealistic, therefore, we must urge people to refrain from promiscuity. Any other rules and regulations may be found in your "Citizen's Booklet". Each "CB" as they'll be called often, are wonderful sources of information for Project SOS life. We wish the best of luck as an official member of Project SOS, and on the behalf of the United States Government we thank you for actively participating in the preservation of our nation. Thank you for your time.

‍Explain Why This is the Best Solution Possible, Given the Conditions:
This is the best solution possible simply because it is the most practical and realistic. Although some facets and particulars of our plan may be viewed as cruel or inhumane, we simply cannot include all age-groups in our project. However, what we do have planned makes the most sense given the conditions and the situation. Any problem that may be encountered will be dealt with hastily and efficiently. We cannot tolerate "much" if we wish to one day be "much" once more. = = =‍Explain Why This Plan is FAIR:= Our plan isn't fair in terms of who lives and who dies. Yet it is fair to those who will come after us, to the humanity and the United States of tomorrow. We want to ensure our future, and we want to leave the Earth and our country populated once more. We want to be unfair today so that we may be fair tomorrow. Without authoritatively putting limits on today, tomorrow cannot be limitless. Our goal is simple, to continue our species and our nation. We are being as "fair" as we believe we can be without risking any sort of impediment to that goal. = = =The Basics of Our Plan in Terms of Selection:= -100,000 persons of indispensable skilled positions of the highest levels of expertise(ex: scientists, medical professionals, engineers...) (age without limit) -10,000 military personnel (age without limit) -1,000 government and administration officials. (age without limit) -889,000 American citizens (ages 16-40) : no felony records, no STDs, no terminal illnesses, no infectious diseases, mental diseases or symptoms strongly scrutinized and possible means for rejection, no contagions whatsoever. =‍Presidential Message:=
