50 years after his disappearance, A long-lost hero returns. 25 years after World War K, An admiral wants Jeb... Dead and alive. And, after all these years, an old foe returns once again. From the stellar studio of DarkOwl57 Productions, comes the finale to the infamous War quad-logy..... Qualogy? A DarkOwl57 production.... In Conjunction with Just Jim Studios... (Maybe- depends on what he says). This is.... The Final Stand [Title pic coming soon] Contents First off, I'd like to thank everyone who's encouraged me from Day one of my writing. Myself. My mom. One of my teachers (Interestingly not an ELA teacher). Second, this is going to be..... different from the other stories. Expect uploads sporadically on the weekends, as I'll be having pictures and shtuff. Now, this project... really wasn't supposed to happen. Or if it was, it was supposed to be next Christmas. As in.. Late 2018, if at all. But, I got ideas. And they formulated... And I got to thinking, and thinking, and thinkingthinkingthinking. And now, I feel it's time.. After all, it's Christmas! So, I hope y'all enjoy. I hope you guys like it as much as I do . Coming soon™.

We are a very harmful species. We have basically ruined this planet the way we've been treating it. Unless we fix something fast, we most certainly will have to leave it, without turning back. But what if it's more than Earth that we have to leave? What if it was the Solar System, and we would have to find a new system to call our home? I have thought about it for a while, and I truly wonder what we would do. Would we unite to save the species? Would we just fade out, the world dying forever due to a final conflict or just us not willing to save ourselves? I feel like it's a question to be asked. For example, Evacuate Earth, a Nat Geo docudrama, explores the possibility of us leaving the solar system during a present day time. Conventional fuels such as Plasma or LH2+LO would not work, as the target (one that probably does not exist mind you) is over 8 light years away. The proposed unorthodox methods of travel, such as a Solar Sail, one that would not work in interstellar space as it requires solar particles pushing on the sail. Finally, the Orion project comes up. Nuclear weapons blasting on a spring shield, pushing the ship forward. They claim they can reach 7-8% the speed of light, making the trip faster than any other type of propulsion. The habitation for the 1/4th of a million people chosen to leave live in an O'Neill cylinder, a 20 mile long tube with it's own ecosystem, almost like a planet itself. Amazingly, the global powers unite to harvest the nuclear fuel and resources to peacefully save the human race. Sure there are terrorist attacks and protests but it does not disrupt the project enough for it to fail. Watch to find out the rest (sorry if I spoiled it, most docudramas have happy endings anyways). Most of you know Interstellar, and how the Now they use the Hybrid Variable-impulse Chemical/Plasma Engines (12) (http://interstellarfilm.wikia.com/wiki/Endurance) to power the ship towards Saturn and later the solar (more like black hole) system. After 25-ish years, they find the planet where some person is, and they realize it's not what they wanted. To get to the final one, they sling around that black hole. Not saying anything else for the sake of spoiling. Now these are two scenarios about us needing to leave the solar system (Interstellar is really just leaving Earth, although they leave the solar system). Two questions. Will we ever have to leave Earth? Secondly, will it ever happen like Evacuate Earth or Interstellar, or will it happen differently than the two I mentioned?

Velocity was approximately 12,000 mps upon impact. I watched the altimeter, and it reached 0, so the asteroid actually crashed into the Earth. It was a "large", which, in RSS terms, probably means "we're all screwed". First time that happened to me, so naturally I'd make a joke about it.
