They said the vault could protect the genetic materials in case of “total annihilation of Earth,” which would be triggered by a major drop in biodiversity. Some construction is already scheduled to take place on the. Because human civilization has such a large footprint, if it were to collapse, that could have a negative cascading effect on the rest of the planet.”ĭubbing their project a “modern global insurance policy,” the scientists’ plan is to fill the ark with millions of seed, spore, and reproductive cells from Earth’s species that would be cryogenically preserved. The Lunar Ark is where cryogenically frozen samples of sperm, eggs, spores, and seeds of 6.7 million species can be protected in safety on the Moon. Scientists say that 250 rocket launches would be required to transport about 50 samples from each of 6.7 million species to the moon. Scientists have unveiled plans for a lunar ark on the moon containing genetic information on 6.7 million species to ensure their preservation against existential threats.

(CNN) Engineers want to build an underground lunar ark, filled with millions of seed, spore, sperm and egg samples from. “As humans, we had a close call about 75,000 years ago with the Toba supervolcanic eruption, which caused a 1,000-year cooling period and, according to some, aligns with an estimated drop in human diversity. Scientists want to store the DNA of millions of plants and animals on the Moon - in case of a doomsday scenario. Experts want to build a doomsday vault for Earths species on the moon. “Earth is naturally a volatile environment,” said researcher Jekan Thanga, a professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering in the University of Arizona College of Engineering. Fowler is perhaps best known as the father of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which former United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon described as an. Scientists want to build a doomsday vault on the moon By Amy Woodyatt, CNN 0 Engineers want to build an underground lunar ark, filled with millions of seed, spore, sperm and egg samples from Earth's species, hidden in a network of tubes on the moon to provide a genetic backup for the planet in the event of a doomsday scenario.
Preparing for a doomsday scenario that could destroy the Earth, scientists from the University of Arizona have proposed building an underground ark hidden in a network of tubes on the Moon that could provide a genetic backup for the planet, CNN reported. Scientists want to store the DNA of millions of plants and animals on the Moon - in case of a doomsday scenario, the Earth will have a back-up of its biodiversity.
