Earth has been declared uninhabitable. Name some real planet that we need to be transported to, how many needs to get there,  and how we can reach that planet.

It's funny, I'm having my Astronomy class working on that problem right now. It involves an unnamed planet in a nearby star system; a crew of 20,000 to assure sufficient genetic diversity, and a generational ship that will make the trip in 50 years or so.

"I've found the perfect new home! Wonderful climate, friendly inhabitants, truly advanced science and progress..."

"Great! What's this planet called?"

"Krypton!"

"You realize that we are seeing it the way it was 3,000 years ago."

"Maybe, but can it really change that much since then?"

The "cosmological dark age", between about 400,000 and 10^9 years after the Big Bang.  A snapshot from that era would give potent (and all but unavailable) clues about structure formation at early times.

NT: Subtle signs the consultant making your retirement plan is out of their mind.

 

"This is actually simpler than most people realize, because once you make the correct Lutz-Bogolyubov transcription corrections of the Dresden Codex texts, it turns out the baktun rolls over in July 2029, and the world will end then.  So our goal here is to end with exactly zero dollars balance on 1 August 2029."

One concept: SIMPLE plan 

 

NT: You have been timeported 150 years into the future. What is the main thing that you do?

Promptly asphyxiate in the atmosphere with far too much CO2 and not enough O2 in a biosphere that died a hundred years prior.

 

NT: Subtle signs that you bought tickets to the wrong movie to share with a parent.

The day that the dinosaurs get wiped out. So I can watch Adric die.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthshock

OT (In Whoniverse): Adric can do Block Transfer Computations, the most powerful mathematical discipline in the Universe that can shape reality itself, in his head. Not even the most intelligent of Time Lords can do that. Matthew Waterhouse wouldn't want to hear it, as he pretty much gave up on acting, but a ticked-off Adric having gone to some random point in the universe and nursing a grudge against the beloved mentor who left him spiraling through time and space to die could make a good DWRPG adventure.
