Following years of planning by the International Lunar Exploration Working
Group (ILEWG), replicas of historic assets had been transported by Lunar
ark in order to preserve humanity's culture in the event of a civilization
stopping asteroid impact with Earth.
But the plans had failed to anticipate the risk of
Mlosh alien pirates pulling off an asset-stripping raid.
The President confirmed that a repeat mission was planned for the Fall,
when additional security forces would mobilize under the command of
Lieutenant S.D. Bob
"Snake" Plissken.

reports: in 2007 Jim Burke of the International Space University in France
said people should plan to preserve humanity's culture in the event of a
civilization stopping asteroid impact with Earth. A Lunar ark was proposed.
Subsequent planning may be taken up by the International Lunar Exploration
Working Group (ILEWG).
Snake Plissken is a fictional character played by Kurt Russell in the
"Escape from.." movies.

Imagine what would be, if history had occurred a bit
differently. Who says it didn't, somewhere? These fictional news items
explore that possibility. Possibilities such as America becoming a Marxist
superpower, aliens influencing human history in the 18th century and Teddy
Roosevelt winning his 3rd term as president abound in this interesting
fictional blog.
