Todayinah Editor Editor says, what if Jim Burke's suggestion had been implemented by the ILEWG? Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect the views of the author(s). This story was published in the April 2011 edition of Changing the Times Magazine.

In 2007, striking an impressive pose at the launch site the Mission Commander for Lunar Ark 2 Lieutenant S.D. Bob "Snake" Plissken fielded a question about his intended handling of the protocols of interplanetary diplomacy by reassuring the world's media that he would not hesitate to pop a cap in a Mlosh butt should the alien pirates be stupid enought to make a second attempt to seize the Earth's cultural assets.
Robbie Taylor's novel "Warp" is available on Lulu

Moongoogle 2Ex-special forces commando/war hero in World War III turned criminal, he returned to active duty after apprehension and coercion by the United States Police Force who needed to secure top-secret material from the ex-cities turned maximum security prisons of Los Angeles and Manhattan.

The result of the desperation of this new mission was an even greater level of coercision. Tucked behind a deck of American Spirit cigarettes in the top pocket of his space suit he has a written assurance from President Larry Sweetgrass that Plissken would become the fifth face on Mount Rushmore.

Shortly after take-off, the ark is boarded by the Mlosh who had hacked into Google and watched the press conference with not a little amusement. Alien space pirate commander M'KolKa forces the boarding tube but is immediately confronted by Ark security. "I heard you were dead", says M'KolKa, to which Plissken retorts "I heard you were taller".

Todayinah Editor Editor says, 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.
Mlosh are the alien race of Robbie Taylor's Warp Timeline.


Readers Comment Jeff Provine commented on 2011-04-14 15:58:15 ~ I wonder what the intergalactic sales value for cultural items of a pre-warp civilization would be. Evidently worth their time, so their must be a market for collectors.

Readers Comment Eric Oppen commented on 2011-04-14 19:09:27 ~ Snake will win...he always wins.

Readers Comment David Atwell commented on 2011-04-14 22:15:00 ~ Google has the worst sercurity in a galaxy - everyone & their dog can hack into it!
