How do we know how long a body can freeze?
We didn't even know when we took off with that damn thing. We had a research lab onboard and some people on ice that were most likely going to be ... recycled.
Living conditions were difficult, but we made it work. There were many species that we had the dna for, lots of different seeds... we didn't really know what we were doing.

Horse\Car Trainer
This whole idea started with a dream. I think I have to use myself as the main character (but younger). I think I want to try and write it in a way that anyone could see themselves as the protagonist, and it could just as easily be switched from male to female.
In the future, vehicles become banned, except for renegade groups. Some are in the water like modern pirates, roaming through flooded cities in boats and jet-skis.
The kid training the horses wants to do something bigger with his life, so he discovers a secret group that's being paid by the government to develop a new cop car. The cop car is an automated self driving car... maybe even a cross between a "big dog" robot and a motorbike. The kid is training them because he's the best driver they've found... maybe it starts with him escaping to a modern day arcade, (he uses skills he developed while horse riding.)
There's a big competition, all the winners have their best driving skills programmed in to the AI.

The David Ark Ages (theory)
I was thinking of the name David Ark, or Raymond Ark, possibly something like the Diamond Ark because has "dark" in the title. (Dark Ages)
So this is based on the idea that leaving the planet would cause an environmental melt down as a reaction to all the pollution.

One thing running through my mind is, "What if this has happened before?"
What if life dropped us off and took some resources with them? Maybe when they left they took out the dinosaurs... As a story idea, what if they hunted the dinosaurs?
We could write all of this happening in a futuristic world but the viewers themselves can figure out the analogy to previous times. History repeats itself.
So... basic plot:
- Earth becomes too full
- Cars become banned
- Horse industry takes off
- Horse trainer notices horses refuse to work with humans
- Start building ark
- Things start changing, animals working with humans, plants grow better, fish are more populous, etc.
- Leave planet, the planet enters a "dark age"
- Get to new planet
- Hunting alien dinosaur type species on new planet
- They're forced to leave the planet because they fuck up
- Some humans are left behind on new planet.
The idea is to leave the notion that this has happened before, that long ago, "human like species" may have discovered Earth and just hunted the dinosaurs for sport.
When they left, they try to leave messages with us but the wake of their alien rocket engines destroys anything they leave behind, forcing us to rediscover the universe.

Noah's Ark
What if the story of Noah wasn't about a tale from the past but a premonition about the future?
It's a story that's been told before except with names like Gilgamesh instead of Noah, and maybe in countless generations before.
We can't know for certain that we were created and put on this planet. Maybe we were from another planet and we took that story from our ancestors but we lost the technology. The story of putting life on a giant space ship and taking it to another planet.
Maybe the flood is a warning about filling up your planet with any type of destruction. Could be global warming, asteroid, etc. When the story was told in the past, a flood was probably the simplest way to understand it.
(At some point we're going to reach our population cap. The higher our population limit is, the lower the variation of species.)
We need to get as many different animals as we can in a space ship and fly them to another planet. Two by two. Which ones would we choose?
I've been thinking of this science fiction story where that is the overall goal.
Based off this dream I had, it's about a horse trainer in a new future where cars are banned and the horse industry takes off. In the dream, the horses were becoming harder and harder to break. The plot I've been thinking about is a metaphor to the animals that "magically listened" in the story of Noah's ark. When the world starts actually building this space ship, the animals start working together, like all of life wants this goal.
How could we build a space ship that could contain as much life as possible?
Where would we go?
One dilemma I was thinking of is where people on the planet don't want to build it because the process would cause too many greenhouse gases.
I think it's an interesting conflict.
How do we really know that solving this problem isn't a quest from God?
If one ever did exist
Maybe there were multiple "Gods", maybe when these stories were told they were referring to the "people from the past".
It makes me think about how the technology of the past could have been lost. Like, if there was a space ship that had the capability to keep on going, maybe our "creators" left to discover new lands.
As a plot development idea, when we discover a new planet, we have a scene where they're picking and choosing what plants/animals will go where, and about making a paradise for the people.
One giant plot twist could be that we discover our former selves (where their space ship ended up)
Our future selves are more like robots. In the story they could be at times an antagonist, at times a warning about our future and maybe in the end, a helper.
