The first planet will narrowly miss Earth but will cause widespread havoc and destruction. The second planet will collide with Earth and destroy it. The only hope for humanity to survive is for a small number of people to leave Earth on a rocket ship and take up life on the first planet passing by. A large group of people take up the task of building the rocket ship and gathering important supplies, materials and living things needed to begin anew. One category of important items gathered is information.
Workers microfilm vital texts for their transport to the new planet.
The survival effort succeeds, with about 40 or 50 people making the journey to begin life in this new world. Class Project Students in each LIB 150 class will assume the roles of these survivors. Being a member of the class, you have been chosen for this important journey, and you carry with you the responsibility to make civilization over again and to contribute something of value to the new society. You must decide what your contribution will be, and preparing yourself to make this contribution will be the focus of your research . You've been given a limited amount of time to find and read the material you think will be most useful to you.
