In 2026 the world will be destroyed by an extinction event involving a massive asteroid far larger than the one that wiped out the dinosaurs and paved the way for the eventual rise of homo sapiens to the top of the food chain. Earth will have nearly two years--666 days, to be precise--to prepare for the inevitable. What will the world do in an all-out effort to prevent the seeds of humanity and all traces of once glorious civilizations from being relegated to the ashes of history? That is the premise of this all too plausible short story that details some plausible efforts with existing technology to provide a chance for the survival of humanity's seed in the hope that it may yet once again take root elsewhere in our solar system.
