Scientists have discovered a new planet, Hero. They are very confident that human beings will be able to live there, as it has water, light, oxygen and the temperature and air are similar to those on Earth. They have done tests and known that plants can grow there. They have not seen any alien life there, but they cannot be sure that it doesnt exist. They have decided to send a spaceship of people there from Earth, to start a space colony and a new human society. But there is space for only six people. These people will have to stay there for the rest of their lives. No one else will be able to join the space colony for at least a hundred years. They will take enough food tablets for five years, together with four guns to protect themselves, and blankets, space-tents, etc. The spaceship will be controlled from Earth so there will not be a pilot. The journey to Hero will last about ten weeks. The organizers have asked for volunteers but unfortunately, only ten people have volunteered.
