The world’s population is projected to reach 8 billion on 15 November 2022.

The latest projections by the United Nations suggest that the global population could grow to
around 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050 and 10.4 billion in 2100.

Population growth is caused in part by declining levels of mortality, as reflected in

increased levels of life expectancy (the average period that a person may expect to live) at
birth. Almost 9 years have been added to the average life expectancy since 1990, bringing it to
72.8 years worldwide in 2019. The average lifespan worldwide is anticipated to reach 77.2 years
in 2050 as a result of further mortality decreases.
Climate change is a significant source of new selection pressures for adaptive evolution
since it affects both abiotic and biotic processes directly and indirectly. Climate change can also
have an impact on evolution by modifying gene flow patterns in landscapes, population sizes,
and hybridization patterns.Continuous climate change is anticipated to have significant and
pervasive evolutionary effects on wild populations given the abundance of scientific evidence
for rapid evolutionary adaptation to spatial variation in abiotic and biotic environmental
conditions analogous to that seen in changes brought about by climate change. Generalizations
about the rate and size of anticipated reactions are challenging to make for a number of
reasons, including the fact that phenotypic plasticity, migration, and many types of genetic and
ecological restrictions can prevent species from developing greatly in response to climate
change.When we refer to "overpopulation," we particularly refer to a situation in which the
Earth's ability to replenish the resources used by the population of the world each year is
compromised. According to experts, this has been the case every year since 1970, with each
year getting worse.
To help temper this wildly unsustainable situation, we need to understand what’s
contributing to overpopulation and overconsumption and how these trends are affecting
everything from climate change to sociopolitical unrest.
On November 15, 2022, it is predicted that there will be 8 billion people on the planet.
According to the United Nations' most recent estimates, the world's population may reach 8.5
billion people in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050, and 10.4 billion in 2100.
Declining rates of mortality, which are reflected in rising levels of life expectancy at birth
(the average time a person may expect to live), are a contributing factor in population
expansion. In 2019, the average life expectancy in the world was 72.8 years, an increase of over
9 years since 1990. The average lifespan worldwide is anticipated to reach 77.2 years in 2050 as
a result of further mortality decreases.
Since it directly and indirectly affects both abiotic and biotic processes, climate change is an
important source of novel selection pressures for adaptive evolution.
By altering gene flow patterns in ecosystems, population levels, and hybridization patterns, clim
ate change can also have an impact on evolution. 
It is expected that ongoing climate change will have significant and pervasive evolutionary
effects on wild populations given the wealth of scientific evidence for rapid evolutionary
adaptation to spatial variation in abiotic and biotic environmental conditions—analogous to
that seen in changes brought about by climate change.
2. Population
2.1Recruitment – Common People

The recruitment is one basic but essential need for the spaceship to work and function
properly. We need people that are smart and stable. The most important part before recruiting
people will be reading their applications. They need to prove that the person that applies to go
to space went to a higher form of education and has a level of B1 in English (minimum).
The big step in enlisting people is the APPLYING PHASE. Everybody that wishes to join
the settlement needs to know the following rules, requirements and details:
- We will welcome anybody with a degree, and those who will evaluate you and your
abilities will be really patient and happy to hear about you;

- You will receive plenty of questions, as in an interview; you will need to answer
them honestly, as it is a critical criterion of our policy. Any lies detected in the
further phases will be punished based on their severity; for instance, if a person lies
about their degree, mental state, family/health problems will need to pay an
expensive tax because they had taken the place of a possible better person;

- Every candidate will have their information stacked in a large server that will rank
everybody’s knowledge, aptitude and social skills with the help of AI and some
psychologists ;

- No criminal records;

- People in an age range of 18-55 (and possible children);

- Unfortunately, we cannot accept extremely sick people, people that suffer from
chronic diseases or disabled people that aren’t independent in order to form a
functioning society.

2.1.1 Interview (specialists will ask most of the questions while psychologists and sociologists
will assist the dialogue)
- The first 90.000 people that meet the interview requirements based on their
application will qualify to the next phase (intermediate);
 1. How would you describe your current life? Is it mostly chaotic or do you find yourself
a calm peaceful person? (people need to formulate an answer that isn’t too long but that
concentrate the whole idea)
2.How did SARS-CoV-2 affect your life? What would you do differently in a similar
circumstance? (the answer will prove that the person knows how to learn from the past similar
situations and probably past mistakes)
3. Are you your independent? How would you describe your responsibility of doing
work? Do you usually have time for them and for yourself?
4. Are you a sociable person? How would you react in a room full of people that are not
familiar to you?
5. How well do you think you know yourself? Are you keen on finding your true self?
6. What’s your dream job if money didn’t matter? How would you describe yourself in
this fictional situation (people’s true intentions are being pursued)?
7. How do you manage critical situations? What are your responses to a panic attack?
8. How do you think life will be on the spaceship? What do you think it’s the most
crucial thing you would learn on the settlement?
9. How was your relationship with your parents? How did you find a way out of your
fights and how did they manage the teen period of your life? (this is where the difference is
made between the people who are still affected and those who have learned from their past)
10. Regarding the Earth’s current state, how do you think the climate change and
overpopulation will affect our lives?

2.1.2 The intermediate phase

The qualified people will be the first 50.000 that meet the expectations of the
professional psychologists and sociologists. Our team counts on the mental state of the people
more than anything. We want a stable society that can express their opinion regardless of their
emotions and needs. To function, Sirius also needs people that can work under pressure. That’s
why we initiate a new phase of testing and keeping a track of people’s lives and routines. So,
we will be testing the qualified people for 2 years. They need to prove that they will be ready
anytime to go to Space.
Only the first 25000 people that passed the tests will actually go and spend the rest of
their lives on Sirius. Therefore, they need to show beyond doubt that they can manage going
through ups and downs. Also, they need to visit the doctors periodically.

2.1.3 psycho / physical

 2.2 Recruitment – Specialists
Our maximum capacity will be 45.000 people. Therefore, the rest of the population will
consist of doctors (1000), engineers and builders (5000), psychologists (500), psychiatrists and
sociologists (500) and biologists (3000).
These people will be the foundation of the society. They will be the best of the best
from all around the world. With no exception, they need to pass every test (physical and
mental) that every other person did previously.
