#planet colonization

Ok, but like....Look at how flipping barren and demolished the planets surrounding Yellow Diamond’s current location are. It’s no wonder that the crystal gems reacted so strongly to the hologram plans for earth Peridot showed them. IT’S BRUTAL!

OK. So here we go. I hope someone out there will get some enjoyment out of this. And hopefully this will give me a place to bang out this long-time dream; put it down in black and white.

About the time I turned 15 I began to have the following dream. I am offered a large area of land on another planet. I am suppose to plan and decide what to take with me. I usually have this dream roughly once a month since. So it and I are close friends.

Here are the guidelines of what I will receive on the planet:

50,000 hectacres

Some help in setting up the homestead (ie first house, barns, processing buildings)

water

open lands (ie not any trees imagine the great plains)

Here is what you will receive while on Earth:

transport to planet (Weight limit about the size of a small freighter or a couple of big barges the ones they push down the Mississippi River)

Financial help (as in getting the items you would like to take with you)

Some help in planning and Training for new Things you may be doing there which can be taught here.

Satellite information for that last 100 years of the weather patterns on your area.

Soil information and such

The Rules:

You can use and take anything on Earth you want with you. You just have to make it fit into your plan and explain why you are requesting it. 

You must have a 5 year plan, a 10 year plan, and a 15 year plan. They figure if you are still thriving after 15 years you are pretty much set. If you aren't thriving you will be absorbed by another land holder who could use your help or experience.

Once you leave you can't come back.

All land areas are around or near a town or sub-town (ie think of the coach stations in the old west)

After 5 years if you are in better shape than when you landed you may receive another drop of items, about the size of what came with you only no live stock this time. But you can have more people come. Again another 5 years after that a drop last one.

You may take up to 100 people with you, if you can find someone which don't want there own hectacres. Close family - meaning all the way to 2nd cousins (because they don't qualify for their own land after you are accepted) 

For each person besides yourself you get another 10 large shipping containers of cargo.

There must be a constitution set up for the people who are willing to come with you -- there is no slavery or serfs

Other information needing to know

travel time from Earth to Planet-X is roughly 4 to 6 months. 

Everything is put in like a shipping containers. They load an unload easily almost like a puzzle.

There is no centralized government on the planet. 

There is kind of a standardize trading on the planet. (mostly thought if you need it you produce it)

Can trade with other land holders is even encouraged.

So anyway this is the gist of the dream - The offer, and the planning, and the searching. The Dream usually ends with the last of the support crew leaving and me overlooking the compound. 

So here is what I want to Blog about; What I would take and why I would do so:

Food

Animals

Clothing

Machinery (small as needles large as dehydrators)

Plants

Miscellaneous items

So life is still in transition but books still must be read!
