He's asking how young the girls in space are, and they're thinking about all of the Sci-Fi movies where the Earth blows up and astronauts have to watch it go.

    Not a movie, but a music video for a great song

    I have a book sort of like this. SevenEves by Niel Stephenson.

    The book blows up (or gets hit or something). The dist will make earth uninhabitable within a few years. I want to say Seven Years. I remeber the SevenEves title has many possible "meanings" and I think years to collapse was one.

    They basically work to get as many people as they can, which isn't many, into space working with the small crew of a (larger than ISS but not huge) space station. Including all of the logistics of food and housing.

    They also have to manage it in a way as not to cause a panic because billions of people, will die. Because they literally cannot send everyone.

    The first two thirds are pretty good, the lattwr third jump to the future and fallout and I hated that part, but the first part is good.

    Like most of Neals books I found this book long and meandering, so I dropped it after a while, just wish he could better edit and pace his books. I enjoyed snow crash but every book of his I've tried since I could not finish.
