                                                                                                       It was a nice day, sunny with clear skies. I was standing in my office looking out the window across the Nasa base. We were making excellent progress of our new hyper drive, When we complete is we will be able to travel twenty times the speed of light. Suddenly there was a knock on my door.                              "Come in." I called. Our lead advanced spacecraft developer opened the office door and entered.                               "Director Hollwarth, we just discovered that the sun will be leaving the main sequence in 6 years!"                             "What? I thought we had 200 more years!"                            " Apparently we were wrong. 10 years, on the dot. We need to search for a new planet to live on.."                             " Organize a board meeting in two hours." 
                           After a few hours you finally put together the meeting, placed in room 5c, 2 stories up in a quiet room. It took a while to get all of the men and women together to sit still and to put their lunches away. No one was particularly happy with the inconveniences you caused, but us living from our sun ready to combust is- We need somewhere else to live! With such little time we have, we need to find an EXOPlanet to inhabit before we all become an obliterated, bloody, charred mess!                              You walk into the board meeting room as a scientist, named Freddie , pushed up his glasses and scoffed,                          " Alright guys, we have five planets that could potentially work. They are all in the habitable zone as well."                         " Woah, woah, wait! What's the habitable zone?" Your genuine confusion pushed Freddie to explain what the ' habitable zone' was.                          "The habitable zone is the distance from a star where things will be just right, not to hot, not too cold. You could also call it the Goldilocks zone. Since the porridge Goldilocks liked wasn't too hot or too cold, it was just right."                         " Oh, that makes sense! Okay go one." You screw your brows in, thinking about it for only a moment. You then nod to reassure your thoughts.                         " The first choice is Kepler 440b. The gravity is two times as intense as earth, which is not too bad, but, there is no water on this plant, making it nearly impossible to inhabit the planet. Second choice, Gliese 185g. It is a manageable planet, it is promising, but there is three times the gravity as earth. It is also warmer then earth, but again, it looks promising. Third choice is, Kepler 186f. The only issue with this planet is that it is very far away from from us, being on earth. Fourth choice is, HD209458b. It's most likely too hot to inhabit but we will have to look at the planet a little more to make sure we could possibly live there. Fifth choice is, 51pegasib. It also may be too hot to live on, just like HD209458b... We will have to do more research on the last two. I will tell you if I , we , find anything else about any of these planets." He fidgets with his coat pockets, trying to keep focus on this stressful situation.                         " Alright, sounds like a deal. So, How's the hyperdrive going along?"                        " The Hyper drive prototype is actually done. We are ready to test to the moon, but we need to find a remote location. You also understand that this is government work? Do NOT release this information."                        " okay, okay, okay, I won't say anything.. but, okay what about the desert? People will justs spread rumors that we are aliens leaving the earth."                         " Good idea," Freddie laughed, fixing his glasses again, " that is actually a good idea! We can start the launch earlier today, or tomorrow?'                        " Tomorrow, I guess. It's already been a long day. We should take a break from working for today since we have the information we need." Freddie nodded at my response and went one.                       " Sounds good. " He pushed his coat away from him, as it falls back to him. He walks out of the room and quickly runs off to do more research on the planets. Well, you think he's doing research anyway...


((((( this is something im writing for class. not done yet... its for a science based fiction non fiction thing to save the earth based on scientific facts bla bla bla. hope its okay because im writing with someone who CANT WRITE AT ALL.))))
