A small step for man, a giant step for no one
May 16 2008, 6:48 PM EDT The Moon is a great place to go. If you can get a rocket or are on a space station on Z-Day, ou are safe. Zombies can't fly, and probably would die in outer space. If you have about 3 years worth of supplies, try to head for a space station and take off. Don't forget your spacesuit. 5 out of 14 found this valuable. Do you? |

Don't forget your spacesuit."even when you get up there your bones would deteriorate and you would never be able to come back to earth. so id just make one of those floating raft city things like in the bruce willis movie "waterworld" (i think) just be in the ocean and float around until you run out of supplies then just get your boat thats hooked on to the floating city and sail to the nearest supermarket (unfortunately) and restock then get back on your raft thing and just chill but then you have to make it around the west coast for the lesser chance of hurricanes Do you find this valuable? |

May 17 2008, 2:08 PM EDT "even when you get up there your bones would deteriorate and you would never be able to come back to earth.This is absolutely correct (except Kevin Costner was the star of Waterworld). One reason (of many) that a manned mission hasn't went to Mars is b/c by the time the crew got there they'd the bones of a 90 year old. Plus if the outbreak is due to the "radiation" or "space dust" theory, and all it takes to make a zombie is to die - then you've just confined yourself with people who may turn. Then you figure in the training necessary, the ground crew you'll need (who I'll doubt will just say "bye folks, have fun in safety"), the math and knowledge of atmospheric conditions needed to calculate launch windows. The training needed to re-enter the atmosphere - otherwise you'll fry crunchy and taste good with ketchup. The moon is a bad, bad, bad (and so on with the bad) idea to the point of being ridiculously impossible. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: A small step for man, a giant step for no one
May 17 2008, 2:47 PM EDT "so is my waterworld idea pretty good or not haha"I'd definitely consider the option if I was on the coast and not the mountains (I'd have to travel, through some major cities -bad, and areas I'm not familiar with-also bad). May not be horrible to try in the lakes here, but sometimes you're only at a depth of 5 feet and don't realize it (which could mean an undead horror coming out of the water). I'd not go far from the shore though. You may not get hurricanes on the west coast, but the tectonic and volcanic activity underwater there could give you waves that would give you a very bad day.

May 17 2008, 7:47 PM EDT Anywhere off of the Earth would be a horrible idea. It is VERY complicated for the highly trained and educated Astronauts/Cosmonauts to survive in space, how the hell do you expect Joe Average to survive? Doing the raft thing or hiding in one of those Cold War bomb shelters made so you can survive efficiently for YEARS underground would be a far better idea. Also far more possible. Getting a space shuttle into space is not at all like pulling a car out of a garage. Unless that Jetsons technology comes around real soon, it is probably a more dangerous idea to go to space than to survive among zombies on Earth. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 18 2008, 11:32 AM EDT "so is my waterworld idea pretty good or not haha"I actually have the same idea, except replace rafts with cruise ships, aircraft carriers, and oil rig platforms. Have jetskis for scouting and resource runs. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: A small step for man, a giant step for no one
May 30 2008, 6:43 AM EDT Your bones would deteriorate if you stayed there for about a year, if you didnt excercise. Thats why people going to space have to excercise there. Do you find this valuable? |

Sep 27 2008, 2:20 PM EDT Instead of having to go to the moon and be doomed, why don't you just build a airtight station here on earth in some secluded area. You would be able to survive for years more then you would be able to on the moon. You could make it so that you get electricity from solar panels on the roof, and possibly wind turbine technology. And for air inside you could have many plants, gets rid of co2 and makes o2! for water you could have a 5000 gallon tank underground. And use reverse-osmosis to get rid of impurity, so you could reuse your water over and over. Another idea would be to have a way to collect any rain water and do the same run it thought the cleansing machines. One last idea if you dont want to have to go anywhere you could always put up a dehumidifiers on the roof, it would take water out of the air and you could let it drain off into the osmosis cleaner. All of that solves any problems of electricity, water, and fresh air. Since the facility would be air tight, the outward walls would be composed of sturdy materials that say zombies cant break through, and it would be resistant to mother natures wrath. There is one problem thought, you would eventually have to go outside to gather suppiles in the food area, unless you grew alot of things inside, which is bad because it means the area of the room would have to be very big. I suggest make an escape room that is an air chamber so you can get out onto the roof, once outside you could use any means of transportation to go anywhere. Do you find this valuable? |

Sep 27 2008, 10:16 PM EDT Y’all gots to give Richboy his due- If you could get a ship into orbit, ain’t no FUCKING WAY a ski job’s gonna follow you. PERIOD. Nuke the world, hole up on the moon or wherever for a few years, come back to a nuked-out, but healing, plaent and rebuild. I didn’t say it was a PERFECT plan, but it is one Hell of an effective one, if killing all the fucking skin jobs is your ONLY priority… Do you find this valuable? |

Oct 14 2008, 2:22 AM EDT HAHAHAHAHAHA I origionaly thought this thread was a joke., I would love to see any of our current site members attempt a launch. But apart from that 'small' flaw, its a pretty good plan. Does anyone know how much cargo space the average rocket-ship has? Do you find this valuable? |

this school can work pefectly.
Oct 14 2008, 1:58 PM EDT the P-CEP campus is large, already has basic school grounds fences, and consists of 4 (3 high schools and 1 gym building) easy to defend buildings. the place is stocked well enough to feed 2000 teenagers each for a week, there is a small but old forest near plymouth full of large and long trees which can be used for building purposes, and has two floors on each building but the gym. Plymouth is hard to get around in if you can't read, and is well segmented with thick metal fire doors that can be locked in place. it's only weakness is the glass to the stairs that are at the ends of the 3 large halls, but the doors to them are strong and there are internal ways to get to the second floor. all other glass doors are made to take bullet shots and shatter proof. and there are lots of tables and desks and chairs to made barricades with. it also has a backup generator made to keep power on for 24 hours, and is rechargeable using solar panels on the roof. Canton is somewhat old, but it has minimal window area reachable from the ground, and it has a metal shop designed to repair cars. the kids with that class often learn by fixing their own car. it has a feeding cap just as high as Plymouth, but this building is gas powered instead of an electrical based kitchen. Salem has no windows on the on the bottom floor anywhere but the cafeteria, and is extremly confusing if you don't know your way around, meaning that zombies if they break in will likely walk around in circles thinking they are getting somewhere. same food supplies as the other two. the gym has showers and other PE related things. nuff said. but the real seller on this place is that fact that there are old, unused sewer tunnels that are big enough to but a golf cart in that travel to each of the school's basements. and are not connected with the main sewer system of the city grid. they were, but they got scraped. but they were left there.
