Doomsday hypothetical...end of the World....

[adamsredlines]

So...say a massive meteor was headed towards earth, no chance of survival here. How many humans could we get out "into space" for the hope of re-establishing the human race. Say we spotted the meteor with 1 week to do anything possible and get people "out".
I now there's way more to it than just getting people out (supplies and such)...just a random thought that popped into my head.

Couple dozen at most into space and no way to get them anywhere they could survive.

The way things are today I would do my damnedest to sabotage any rocket going into space for the preservation of other than human alien worlds. Especially if anyone selected any politician anywhere or Hollywood types to go.

More chance of survival going underground or undersea

Illegal aliens would come rescue us

Let them go. Our science has not gotten to the point they would do more than live a few years slowly dying with no way to do more.

... selected any politician anywhere or Hollywood types ...

I wouldn't mind giving a few dozen of them all a head start.

I agree we should get them loaded up as quickly and as many possible

I'd light the match on a pile of explosives if they were piled on top.
