will conduct a campaign, but to be eligible for the chair, they must present their respective CVs and any other evidence for their expertise. Additionally, the candidates must have a clean record and proof of impeccable health. After a thorough analysis of the documents, conducted by a commission established by the leaders of the project, the name of the candidates will be put on ballot papers. The prospective inhabitants will have to vote by sending the codes positioned next to the candidates to an encrypted address. Every measure is going to be taken to avoid any kind of cyber-attack that could potentially compromise the elections.
Marketing, Advertisement & Entrepreneurship The purpose of our marketing project is to prepare an informational campaign on Earth so that people on Earth who are willing to explore space become motivated and are well-informed of the challenges or risks they could face as well as educational and personal qualities they have to have in order to be eligible for flying to space. Demographics According to the United Nations Population Division’s World Population Prospect on 2019, below we can find the distribution based on age/sex indicator. United Nations Total Population Age Group age Total Male Female 0-4 years 8.79% 8.99% 8.59% 5-9 years 8.58% 8.79% 8.38% 10-14 years 8.25% 8.47% 8.04% 15-19 years 7.85% 8.01% 7.69% 20-24 years 7.74% 7.92% 7.56% 25-29 years 7.75% 7.9% 7.6% 30-34 years 7.76% 7.85% 7.67% 35-39 years 6.91% 6.95% 6.87% 40-44 years 6.35% 6.36% 6.34% 45-49 years 6.16% 6.15% 6.18% 50-54 years 5.66% 5.61% 5.72% 55-59 years 4.88% 4.80% 4.97% 60-64 years 4.07% 3.94% 4.21% 65+ years 9.06% 8.01% 10.11% We will conduct a survey for us to answer the question: “Do you want to go to space?” Building the panel of respondents We will choose the sample below of 80 respondents. The Panel was chosen to be distributed and be representative of the overall population, based on the distribution of percentages. As the overall population is 7.674 billions, our school project cannot build a sample based on the total population but we will work based on the distribution of percentages. When targeting the categories of people that will populate the Aphrodite settlement, we will not be discriminating based on race, sex or ethnicity, nor we will take into consideration whether they are married, have kids or are single. We consider that their intellectual, physical capabilities and strong motivation are all that matters. In order to respect children’s rights to freedom of choice of their profession and to be ensured that we send to space motivated people, fully aware of their decision, willing to assume both success and failure, we have decided to inhabit Aphrodite with adults over 25 years old. Furthermore, in children’s cases, medical problems might appear, as radiation is way more harmful in the developing stage of humans and for them to adapt from 3/8 to 1 g might be damaging as well. However, we will conduct survey on children as well to foresee whether they dream about flying to space one day and what we can do in order to help them understand what is expected of them and what education path they might follow so that they make informed choices. Moreover, we will not discriminate against the settlers’ origins on Earth as there is already proof that astronauts from all around the world who showed enthusiasm in exploration and vision, have already made a change in successful space projects.
