(All the volunteers walk across the border. They split up into two groups. Once they arrive at the camp, the first half of the group starts attacking the guards. Meanwhile, the other insects sneak into the camps through the ventilation pipes. Once they arrive at the middle of the base camp where all the missiles and bombs are held, they start destroying these nuclear weapons.
The allegory of apartheid is obvious from the start of District 9. It opens explaining how humans first came in contact with the alien ship above Johannesburg and eventually housed the aliens in a camp known as District 9 where they are oppressed. There a black market is established between the local Nigerian Warlords and the aliens trading cat food which as a drug-like effect on the aliens for weapons. In the present day an MNU is tasked with controlling the aliens and an officer named Wikus van der Merwe must manage the transportation of aliens to a new camp. While searching the shack of an alien named Christopher he uncovers a cylinder which squirts black liquid on his face.

The Independent, in an article about a documentary on the Hindenburg airing on Britain's Channel 4 on Thursday, explains that Jem Stansfield, a British aeronautical engineer who led a team of researchers at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas, blew up and set fire to models of the dirigible to rule out possibilities including a bomb and exploding paint. They Independent reports that the actual chain of events, discovered by the scientists, unfolded as follows: The airship had become charged with static as a result of an electrical storm. A broken wire or sticking gas valve leaked hydrogen into the ventilation shafts, and when ground crew members ran to take the landing ropes they effectively "earthed" the airship. The fire appeared on the tail of the airship, igniting the leaking hydrogen. "I think the most likely mechanism for providing the spark is electrostatic," said Mr. Stansfield.

On the other hand, “Meteor” is a story written in 1956 by John Wyndham and it’s about two planets Forta and Earth. The story is set in the present, and it talks about the creatures (aliens) living on Forta who come to planet Earth in order to find a better place to live in. The story is split into two parts, one being from the point of view of the humans, and the second from the point of view of one of many aliens that came onto Earth.
The United States army’s chief of the Manhattan Project, General Leslie C. Groves, said that fluoride was essential in creating the atomic bomb (Bryson, 2004, p. 46). It was used to pull electrons off of Uranium to make it unstable, going from U238 to U235 (Murphy, 2008, p. 8). However, the staff of the Manhattan Project could not escape the toxicity of fluoride, and neither could neighboring communities. Farmers complained that “something is burning up the peach crops around here” and of poultry mysteriously dying after thunderstorms, of fields strewn with dead cattle, and of vomiting all night after eating produce they had picked (Bryson, 2004, p. 70). Thus was born General Groves’ biggest problem, which resulted in a solution that would soon become our biggest
Every village destroyed, brother killed, livestock murdered. North Vietnamese got new soldiers ready to plant bombs
These aliens, though they created superior technology and a society as much as humans, then get treated like less than nothing. By the end of the film one scientist, Wikus van der Merwe (played by Sharlto Copley), is bent on learning the inter-workings of alien weaponry. He ends up exposing himself to alien DNA and begins to mutilate. Soon the human and alien distinctions blur and he becomes trapped as one of them. Now Wikus experiences almost racist threats from humans as he searches for a cure, doomed exist as an Alien for the rest of his life.
Firstly the main goal of the American government was to land on the moon before Russia did. This was to do the with whole arms race that was going on throughout the “Cold War”. The American public strongly believed that once man had landed on the moon, they would start to build colonies up there. While the public were dreaming of dome houses and moon cities the U.S military had other ideas. Project Horizon was the plan to establish a military base on the moon, one with minimal personnel required to function.
