The Foundation Stone for saving Mankind starts here now...

You may be wondering what it is I am talking about here – then let me explain.

How long do you think it took our forefathers to build a Cathedral.

You may not be surprised to find that the answer was about 100 years.

It may have taken about 50 years to build the pyramids no one can be really sure.

The beginning of the long-term planning for CERN -

the European Laboratory for Particle Physics started in 1954.

The point I am trying to make is, that at some point in the design of something that is going to evolve over a long period of time – there has to be a starting off point before that design can be completed.

In other words, there has to be long term planning.

We all know that mankind could struggle to survive the next 100 years.

We could be destroyed by wars (there is certainly the nuclear capability), we could be ruined by famine or sickness. The earth may even be destroyed by a comet. The shortage of resources as populations exceed sustainable levels , all these sorts of things may just end up in the ruination of mankind.

If the Mayans calendar is anything to go by then the end of the world could just be in December of this year 2012.

But lets be positive – lets assume that mankind survives all these destructive elements – then what is the problem.

The problem is our sun.

The sun comes to the end of its life in about 5 billion years, when it slowly emerges into a red giant, and hence extinguishes all living life on the earth.

Cripes that’s a heckofa long time away I hear you say – got nothing to do with us, let somebody else worry about that.

But isn’t that exactly the problem.

Mankind usually lets things drift, until about the last week before it is all too late, and then whoops better get a move on and do something about this. Cripes it was too late.

If mankind hasn't reached the outer stars, if he is not capable of finding the propulsion to propel a Noah’s Ark into the heavens then how can mankind survive.

Well lets for a moment decide that our children's children are important to us. The care of our descendants has been handed to us.

Lets do the long term planning of building our cathedral ship. Lets start now and lay the foundation stone for that to happen.

It is only if enough people make this desire heard, that any important department body is likely to take notice of what we are saying, and start to do something about this.

Let this be the start of the foundation project for saving mankind.

People will need to invest knowledge and ideas into looking to reach for the stars and populate new planets.

We already made a start, we have gone to the moon, but its time to move forward we need a specific project in place. A distinct project to save mankind has to be started.

So today I am starting this project and laying the first foundation stone.

I will call it the PHOENIX ARK.

You too can add to this. Simply add your feelings, desires, ideas, knowledge, or simply your approval of the idea to the comments section of this hub to get things started.

Who knows, maybe one day in 5 billion years time, someone may thank us all for starting this when we did.
