I've thought may times about a story about "Leaving Home," there have been plenty of cheesy sci-fi movies about the Earth being Doooommmmed and the scientists creating a huge rocket and shoving a lot of animals and "key people" into the 'Ark' and blasting off - leaving everyone else behind. I'd like to do this movie right... Instead of heading off to a new planet, the movie would concentrate on the hardships of leaving, living in space for a long time, and then the worst part, coming back to earth after some time to start living again.
