While this might seem like a suggestion straight out of science fiction, the scientists behind this proposal have calculated that sending the cryogenically-frozen samples of sperm, eggs, spores, and seeds of some 6.7 million species to the relative safety of the moon might well be a feasible operation.
"Earth is naturally a volatile environment," said study author Jekan Thangavelautham in his presentation on the paper, titled "Lunar Pits and Lava Tubes for a Modern Ark," adding that an Earth-based repository of samples would still leave specimens vulnerable to getting destroyed in a massive disaster. In honor of this historical moment Paper press Use a mixture of news and government and other. Some construction is already scheduled to take place on the. Scientists want to build a doomsday vault on the moon Science. Svalbard Global Seed Vault with crescent moon, Svalbard, Norway, October 2010. This lunar ark, the researchers said, could help the earth repopulate if a catastrophic disaster - such as a deadly epidemic, a supervolcanic eruption, a large-scale nuclear war, widespread drought, or an asteroid - were to occur. Scientists want to create an underground structure to store materials that can save us in case of an apocalypse-style situation. Scientists say that 250 rocket launches would be required to transport about 50 samples from each of 6.7 million species to the moon.

The team of six researchers from the University of Arizona presented their idea at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Aerospace Conference, where they said their proposal would protect mankind from extinction. According to a New York Post report, this would be similar, conceptually, to the "Doomsday" seed vault in Svalbard, Norway, which currently holds more than a million crop samples originating from almost every country in the world. 'Doomsday vault': Scientists Propose To Build Huge Solar-powered Ark On Moon To Save Earth Species A team of researchers from the University of Arizona have made a proposal to build an ark, as a 'modern global insurance policy' for 6.7M species from earth. Engineers want to build an underground lunar ark, filled with millions of seed, spore, sperm and egg samples from Earths species to provide a genetic.
