Private Enterprise- To mars

Traveling outside of the solar system in search of Earth-like planets id the primary mission of this space station, or cosmic Arc if you would like. The Exodus Project if ever done on this scale, would be able to sustain and nurish the generations of human kind that bravely accepted this life style.

This exact theme was a TV show back in the 80ies. The ship was comprised of “biospheres” and had various independent societies representative of earth, (which in many cases didn’t even know about the other ones). For example one biosphere was an Amish community, which didn’t even know it was on a space ship. The theme of the show was that the navigators of the ship had been killed and the ship was adrift in space. One group was trying to get all the biospheres to work together to get the ship back on course.

So there it is again. The “fiction” comes first, and then if it’s vision is “true” then the next generation of scientists see it as a possibility and begin to make plans on how to built it. But it never happens until someone brings forth the possibility. You get all the technical plans together here, and I'll try and turn it into a screenplay, LOL. Instead of a "Death Star" maybe we could call it a "Life Star", LOL. In my humble opinion there is no other option. If it takes a planet of six billion to get mankind to the moon, then maybe we're "underpopulated". If we don't get mankind off of this rock soon, we just may be the next species to go extinct. Keep on posting HereForNow. A "Space Arc" is exactly what we need!
