cool $4.4 million you'll be able to partake of the one obvious way, the one
obvious location, the one obvious destination in which one can survive

I am a little confused. Does the $4.4 million include the "airfare", or
do you have to purchase that part separately?

Convince all of them to go up there, then when 2012 doesn't happen, we
don't let them come back down until they put on a televised match up
there! (Zero gravity bicycle kick!)

I think you wanted to end that sentence here - the remainder was utterly
unnecessary.

I'm in.
What the hell are they going to do with my 4 million anyway, since the
world has ended ?

Are you kidding ? That's the only thing they'll be showing up there.

I don't know about that. $4.4 million is a pretty small cost compared to
the typical price of getting to orbit. This is like booking a hotel room
for $100 and then asking if it includes airfare.

What makes you think being deep inside the Moon is any more exciting
than being deep inside the Earth, on a day-do-day basis?
Raymond Speer
The space excursions are better than what was plotted in the 2012 movie.
The leadership of the world keep news of the impending destruction of
the world secret from their people, and the only thing they do is build
large arks atop the Tibetan mountains. When the ocean dunks the
tallest place on earth, the world leaders expect the salt water to
recede & then they colonize a planet wiped clean of the unimportant
people.
Of course, the gigantic ships are designed so that the failure of a
barrel size rotor to spin in a room that closes a door somehow is
enough to keep any engine from turning any propellor at anyplace on the
ship. Yeah, having the whole ark be utterly inert and unpowered for the
failure of a barrel sized rotor sure is helpful for the action and
suspense of the movie's last 2 reels.
