Plan B

Do you think it is too late?
Background research, thinking process:


 * 1.5°C Tipping Points and Feedback Loops and Existential risk
 * Civil disobedience, Open letter to Extinction Rebellion
 * Global Political Party

Make Climate Change great again.

 $1000 life-support capsule 

 Food + Water + Oxygen + Energy + Waste 



Initial target audience
We not only need to preserve humanity, but need to make it profitable.

Who will be the initial target audience? 1% who want to increase survival chances?

"hedge funders asked me the best way to maintain authority over their security forces after 'the event'"

Just like the military, Wall Street and Formula 1 being the predecessors of technological innovation to the masses.

Collaboration AND competition
Who will design it? Schools and universities.

Periodical checkpoints to compare the notes, do the scoring, allow less successful teams to catch-up and resume another round of collaboration AND competition.

More opportunities learn from each other and compare the notes. Sharing knowledge early on to maximize the impact.

Avoiding dead ends, putting engineering teams back on track.

Learning experience
We will solve many interesting challenges in the process.

We will get better at growing food and saving water.

We will provide a viable alternative.

Budget
$1000 is a round number that will be achievable in the future due to the economy of the scale.

Initially, the one-off purchase cost of materials surely will be higher.

If we were to account for

Meterials and technology
Now we have much more than just stone, wood, steel, glass:
 * superconductors, graphene, aerogel, carbon fibre..
 * GoPro suction - if you touch it with your hand it isn't even sticky, but on a flat surface...
 * Facebook 3D-printed drones beaming the internet through the lasers - so incredibly lightweight, staying up in the air for months
 * Sugru
 * Space blanket

Incentives
Deadlines. Milestones. Checkpoints. Metrics.

It's good to have a clearly defined goal.

Human ingenuity

 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Prize_Foundation
 * See Human Creativity for exmaples of infinite potential:

The goal is to invite engineers and scientists to work on a goal that is way more meaningful than "geek porn".

Plan B or BaseX
When sharing concept of "Plan B" with others, common reaction is - but that's something Elon Musk is doing, making humanity the interplanetary species.

SpaceX - mission to Mars. But who will design the settlement? See: Mars Colony

Also BaseX, decimal system, human have ten fingers.

XPrize has "X" in their name.

Copyright (fake Satoshi). Trademark. Patent. NDA. If you were to steal it runaway with it?



Personal circumstances
Having experienced various stages in life and economical cycles - it allows to put things into a perspective.

I'm definitely less judgemental.

Projects like this require solid support and financial backing.

Always assuming that I could be wrong, that's why not quitting my job just yet, this thing can fly in a fully decentralized manner.

Stretch goal
"minimal sustainable civilization"

The concept should be modular and create aggregate and use of common parts - 10 capsules coming together and making use of e.

Learning how to live on Earth before spreading out to other space. We will enable independent space exploration, a few decades from now you can just hop into the capsule and float in the space. You can float in the outer space and you can join an existing compound and use shared resources. Voting and governance TBD.

This is a big Vision but we need to start somewhere, a journey of the 1000 miles starts with a single step.

1.5°C Tipping Points and Feedback Loops MEH Civil disobedience maybe Global Political Party YES please, but it may take a lot of will, sacrifices, commitments. Plan B is supporting climate efforts. We are experimenting with materials, farming, energy and new models of governance, project management, collaboration and competition.
