The 'Other' Rocket List

Following on from my top 10 people I'd like to see blasted into the Sun on a rocket, I thought it only fitting to do the reverse; list 10 people I'd make sure were saved from an extinction-level event.

Of course, I'm not citing these people as the only 10 - you'd obviously need a whole ton more to viably sustain the race, and breed elsewhere - but if I had to pick 10, this is who they'd be.

Naturally, my family and friends are already on the first rocket off this doomed rock :)

Apart from them, in no particular order, it'd be :

1) Barack Obama
2) Faustino Asprilla
3) Will Smith
4) Denzel Washington
5) Patrick Stewart
6) Sir Ian McKellan
7) Carole Vorderman
8) Arnold Schwarzenegger
9) Isla Fisher
10) Chow Yun Fat
