Name of Your Project Proposal:
Plan - B

Explain the Problem:
A titanic comet is headed for earth, and the surface of the earth will be devastated. All people living on the surface of the planet will be killed, or die in the ruinous aftermath.

Explain the Solution:
Fortunately, the United States Government has developed an underground sanctuary for 1,000,000 people, this wonder of technology can carry one million people through the ruin of earth, and preserve its load for two years, when the earth is projected to be habitable again. The sanctuary only has space and resources for a set number of people, so the occupants must be limited and carefully chosen.

Explain How You Would Choose:
If no other factors distinguish two persons with equivalent qualifications, chance will be utilized.
 * Selection Process**: Qualified persons will be selected based on profession and experience, in addition to physical condition.Occupations will include a divide of 30% essential professions, and 70% important. Essential persons include Military/Law enforcement, Agriculture, Engineers and Healthcare. The remaining 70% will be selected from practical sciences/applications like biologists, psychologists, historians, skilled/specialized labor, etc. Any persons with purely business management and political experience will not be considered. Likewise, jobs that are purely for entertainment such as actors, artists, cosmeticians, or any other role that does not offer direct aid in survival and reconstruction, will not be included.

They must meet the following requirements to qualify. -Age: 17-40 -college/college bound education (exceptions in cases of specialized laborers with essential trades) -No health conditions that require ongoing treatment -Need to be in great health, able to perform hard manual labor efficiently. -no inheritable diseases. -psychologically sound The entire population will be even in gender distribution.

Explain Why This is the Best Solution Possible, Given the Conditions:
For two years, humanity must survive with an extremely limited amount of resources. We have to bring people who can survive the wait period, and the subsequent reconstruction,without extensive medical support that would drag down the entire effort. The successful forging of a new society afterwards requires a careful mix of people with the skills and knowledge necessary to preserve our modern life, and the human race itself.

Explain Why This Plan is FAIR:
Its not fair. Life isn't fair. What we are trying to do is have a back up plan for our race's survival. This is not a time to be fair and give everyone an equal chance of surviving. No, our very existence is more important than giving a bunch of fat guys and some terminally ill patients a chance to life out a little longer. It is hard to be as bunt as it is but for our races survival, we need the best of the best to ensure we picked the right people to live. We, the people selecting the ones to survive as well as the ones we know personally, would be excluded from the selection possess due to an indispensable bias. This will be the only fair thing about this.
