It’s the year 2080 and WWIII is coming to an end. Numerous countries have been destroyed and the nuclear fallout is at its peak. Fertile lands wrecked, beautiful towering city’s obliterated and Mother Nature is filled with so much radiation that it is now nothing more than an toxic wasteland. Only 9% of the earth is estimated to still be able to support life! However this percentage is shrinking by the week as the nuclear winter approaches. Scientists have predicted that in 1.3 years the surface will be unable to support life.
Out of the ashes of the ruined countries two major powers have emerged. The Southern Alliance (SA) and the Northern United Nations (NUN). Both powers desperately sought salvation from the oncoming tribulations. NUN sought …show more content…

5 years ago deep within space SA scientist discovered a collapsing dark star that warped the temporal and dimensional space surrounding it.

SA sought to send a transport ship with 500,000 of humanities best and brightest in hopes that they could utilise this anomaly to travel 200 years into the future while only ageing a minimal …show more content…

My wrist HUD came to life “Crescent get you ass down to the lower deck and fix the 8th engine, we’re gonna need it to get out of this shit storm or you might as well say goodbye to ever seeing earth again.” I watch on with dead eyes as the first officer ordered me around like I was a servant. In game I was a slave to an information guild, restrained from ever gaining a sliver of power. Now not only was I treated worse than shit in game but now I was treated like a servant in reality. As I stubbled forth with my unenhanced body, I dragged my feet over to the diagnostic panel of the 8th engine. “Cracked plating, damaged directional thrusters ahhh crap damaged external combustion thrusters. Are you kidding i have to go into that shit storm.” My eyes followed another wave of energy as it striped off more plating from the hull. As I mechanically got into a space suit and grabbed my engineer kit I thought to myself why the hell am I risking my life for those losers still comfortably sitting in their luxury VACs. Then I realised I just didn’t care any more. I’d had enough of being deceived into slavery, treated like trash and having to put up with abuse on a daily basis. To hell with it if I succeed good for them, if I die well I wasn’t living a life worth living in the first place. With a burst of courage or perhaps hopelessness I hit the red tinted airlock button.

“How to Poison the Earth” by Linnea Saukko was written as an assignment for a freshman composition class. This essay details a process that humans could take to ensure the definitive destruction of earth. The writer explains that this process might be difficult, due to the fact that the earth has ways to continuously cleanse itself. The first process suggests that large amounts of lethal substances, such as uranium-238 and plutonium, should be produced and then injected into the earth. We would start by building more nuclear plants to help generate more plutonium.

Their uniform look and precision high-kick routines are recognizable around the world.

The assignment took us past the city of Kiel where we were fired at and must have taken a hit in our fuel tanks. I didn’t know we were hit at the time. It wasn’t until we were on our way across the North Sea that my plane showed I had no fuel. I just barely managed to make an emergency landing and survived safe and sound. Strangely though, I never thought about not surviving; despite the fact that command didn’t want you flying more than the threshold limit of thirty missions because the odds then turned against you coming home.

For many, death was the only option to end their misery. Likewise, the repercussions of resistance were bearable, but so brutal. “The rising was suppressed, bloody punishments dispensed,” Rediker stated (Rediker, 19). The moment they were caught jumping overboard or trying to rebel against the ship’s company was the moment the punishment began.

“Yes, sir, he gives me enough, such as it is.” The colonel, after ascertaining where the slave belonged, rode on; the man also went on about his business, not dreaming that he had been conversing with his master. He thought, said, and heard nothing more of the matter, until two or three weeks afterwards. The poor man was then informed by his overseer that, for having found fault with his master, he was now to be sold to a Georgia trader. He was immediately chained and handcuffed; and thus, without a moment’s warning, he was snatched away, and forever sundered, from his family and friends, by a hand more unrelenting than death.”

The moon: a ball of rock orbiting earth. Although the moon has been thoroughly researched, countless mysteries still remain. In addition to theories about the moon 's composition and interior structure, the most important question remains unanswered: "Where did the moon come from?" In an attempt to better understand the origin of the moon, the Capture Theory, Fission Theory, Impact Theory, and, the most logical, Sister Theory, have been discussed. A video of the moon landing, in addition to further geological evidence, has been collected and used as challenging points towards questioning its originality.

Part of the reason astronomers are looking for exoplanets, particularly exoplanets similar to earth is to determine whether there are other planets outside of earth that can sustain life. To accomplish this goal, an exoplanet must meet a few requirements. One of this requirements is for a planet to hold life similar to that on earth, it needs to sit in the habitable zone of its host star, in what astronomers refer to as the ‘goldilocks zone’. This is the area in space in which the planet needs to orbit its host star that is not too close nor too far from its star. This will allow it to have optimal temperatures, gravitational pulls and hopefully, liquid water.
