A giant asteroid is set for a collision course with the Earth. Humankind has 5 days to get its act together. Fortunately, you have constructed a space vessel just in case this sort of thing were ever to occur. (Needless to say, you are very meticulous and paranoid.) Your fully stocked spaceship is gassed up and ready to set sail for Mars.
The vessel seats 10, meaning one seat for you (I would assume) and 9 seats for whoever you want to bring with you.
1. Who will you invite aboard your space ship? In other words, who will you choose to repopulate and reconstruct humanity on Mars once Earth has been demolished?
In addition to room for foodstuffs, you can bring 1000 lbs. of other stuff on the ship.
2. What will you bring with you to your space colony?
Let's assume that, being the genius captain and engineer that you are, you safely land your ship on the red planet.
3. What institutions will you instate to govern the colony? Will you try to create a lasting constitution for what you hope will be the burgeoning population of [enter sweet colony name here]? Or will you be more flexible? How will you go about sowing the seeds of a prosperous settlement, both in the short run and the long run?
(My thoughts on the issue are forthcoming...)
