The Trip To Vega with Jeff Mills

"The Trip To Vega" is about a deep outer space odyssey that occurs in the process of traveling from Earth through the Cosmos to another "favorable" star system 25.3 light-years away.

The time is year 2097, Sept 23rd.

To this day, Earthlings have managed to dodge some of nature's more dangerous extremities, massive volcanic eruptions, Earthquakes, solar burst that knocked out the Planet's entire electrical grid for 3 years, numerous plagues of disease, food and fresh water shortages, domestic and International Wars, and many other life-changing operas, but for this event, what remains is a realization that has no remedy. The cause: Earth's physicality has changed. It is no longer favorable for living things.

It is the constant shifting of the planet's internal tectonic plates that has, unfortunately, produced an unexpected and impassable dilemma.

Because of the collisions deep within the planet's core, the planet is now producing an extraordinary amount of sound, including a specific harmonic frequency that erodes the natural senses of all life on Earth.

It is intensifying. It is intolerable and unlivable.

Yet, some humans prefer to stay, to “ride it out” like the Titanic captain going down with his ship. Some, in total disbelief, have concluded it is the second coming of Jesus Christ. But for most, the decision is clear. To live another day, leaving is the only rational choice.

At an increasing rate, scientific research shows that humans and most animals, excluding jellyfish, will eventually lose the ability to hear and suffer greatly from a range of other neurological and psychological effects. The sense of touch and taste, sleep deprivation, severe nerve damage, and constant hallucinations. Everyone will lose many of their cognitive abilities within an estimated 12 months.

On this day and every 7 days thereafter until all registered passengers have departed, the first of a fleet of massive spacecraft carrying approximately 1 million humans per vessel will depart Earth to begin the long and adventurous trek across outer space to a new home: Vega.

This is not a precautionary tale, as there is nothing to learn. Instead, a decision has been made, and a Trip To Vega is the consequence.
