Surviving on Planet Niwrad You have been hired to assist in planning a space colony for a new planet that has been discovered in the galaxy. Its atmosphere and gravitational force are similar to Earth, and international space agencies have decided to create a colony on the planet, called Niwrad. Robotic probes have brought back information about the planet, and we need your help in determining the type of people and skills that will be useful in colonizing Niwrad. Niwrad has over a million lakes, each with hundreds of fish. The trees are 100 feet tall and sprout fruit at the top. The surface of the planet is covered with deep, soft sand. The planet is populated with creatures who seem peaceful. The creatures look human, but are 12 feet tall, have eight eyes, and speak a language unlike anything you have ever heard. Although the initial reports are optimistic, humans will face many challenges on Niwrad. In addition, there is probably more information you want to have before you send people to the planet. In the space below, make a list of challenges that you think are important for us to consider. Then, list additional questions you wish to have answered before you decide whom to send to the planet. Challenges Additional Questions What abilities or skills do you think would help people survive on Niwrad? |
