The DARPA Proposal
The DARPA document outlines Biosphere Project development concepts.
This document was submitted to DARPA in response to a request for proposal for the starting of the 100 Year Starship Project.
The Biosphere concept was indirectly related to the Starship Project and sent to DARPA to bring awareness of the "Ark-2" (Biosphere) project.
The projected timelines in this document were approximations and some of them have been proven to be inaccurate. The concepts however are believed to still be applicable.

ReplyDeletePhilosophy of the Starship Biosphere
The understanding of Excalibur Network Group is that deep space exploration will be
possible and necessary in the not too distant future for the purpose of spreading human species
and Judaic Christian culture to the Cosmos. This will be particularly important in the event of
massive population growth after a period of Global Tribulation.
There is a concern that the whole process of Off Earth Development (OED) will only be
practical after major Earth based human problems, including political, military, and religious
confrontations , are resolved. It is believed that such resolution will involve massive upheaval on
the Earth and, that it will include country to country warfare , within the constraints of some
systems of alliance and , internal social unrest type conflict, within countries, that may provoke a
number of ongoing Civil wars. Both of these types of warfare will be based on cultural and
ideological differences among world populations.
It is believed that these emerging wars will be more specifically based on the differences
between those that support Judaic Christian principals , and those who oppose such principals and
belief.
Due to the wide range of demographic differences in the Western World, it is believed that
if warfare external to Western countries develops , such a process will invoke internal wars .
If such conflict begins to emerge soon, say be mid 2012, then at some point, military
strategists and planners may be motivated to ask the following questions :
1. Is a World War going to emerge?
2. What are the alliances going to be for this World War?
3. Will weapons of mass destruction be tactically or strategically used?
4. If such weapons are used (as in 3) , then what will be the logical outcome in regards to
damage to Earth’s Atmosphere and Ecosystems?
5. If there is projected to be widespread damage, due to conflict, will it be necessary to
build an above ground Earth Habitat (or Sanctuary) which would be self-sustaining for at least
200 years , while Earth ecosystems are refurbished by natural and man assisted processes.
The Starship Biosphere as a Modern day Noah’s Ark
It was in the context of the above concerns that conceptual planning was prepared to
define the parameters of an earth based Biosphere Dome City , a modern Ark of survival , that
would act as home to a Remnant of Earth Species, for a period of one hundred to several hundred
years. The City would be man made, partly plant, animal and machine, and it would also act as a
partial fulfillment of Christian Biblical prophecy, in regards to Tribulation, and the emergence of a
new Heaven and a new Earth.
The Concern about Conflict
If one believes that the times which we live in are prophetic, because of emerging
powerful technology, shifting ideological beliefs, false media abstractions, unprecedented
demographic challenges, resource limitations, and economic upheaval , then it may be understood that clearly conflict will emerge.
