![]() ![]() ![]() Robots are used to excavate Amalthea to provide more protection in a project run by mining and robotics engineer Dinah MacQuarie. The ISS is already bolted onto an iron Arjuna asteroid called Amalthea, which provides some protection against moon debris. The Cloud Ark is to be based around the International Space Station (ISS), currently commanded by American astronaut Ivy Xiao. Each nation on Earth is invited to choose by lot a small number of young people to become eligible to join the Cloud Ark. ![]() It is decided to evacuate as many people and resources as possible to a "Cloud Ark" in orbit, including a "swarm" of "arklet" habitats that will be able to avoid the debris from the moon - both to attempt to preserve the human race and to give the remaining doomed inhabitants of Earth something to hope for, to prevent civil disorder from breaking out on earth before its surface is destroyed. A large number of moon fragments will begin entering Earth's atmosphere, forming a "white sky" and blanketing the earth within two years with what he calls a "Hard Rain" of bolides this will cause the atmosphere to heat to incandescence and oceans to boil away, and make Earth uninhabitable for thousands of years. As the shattered remnants of the Moon begin to collide with one another, astronomer and science popularizer "Doc" Dubois Harris calculates that the number of collisions will increase exponentially. At some unspecified date in the near future, an unknown force causes the Moon to shatter into seven pieces. ![]()
