(For COVID-19 safety, this year’s conference was all-digital.) Aerospace and mechanical engineer Jekan Thanga hosted a session titled “Lunar Pits and Lava Tubes for a Modern Ark.” (You can listen to the recorded discussion here, or just below we caught sight of the news via The New York Post.) Thanga presented the facets of a study he co-authored with five other scientists the most colorful detail in the talk involved shooting millions of specimens of reproductive material into space. According to The Sun, scientists dubbed it the global insurance policy. Nonetheless, it’s something scientists seriously consider and one wants to build a real-life Noah’s Ark to repopulate on the moon in the case of an apocalypse.

Proposed items to go in this bunker include seeds, spores, sperm and egg samples from various Earth species, according to scientists.

Whatever befalls us on Doomsday, survivors will have food to eat, cultural artifacts to treasure, sweet treats to enjoy, and maybe even pets to pamper. This past Saturday, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers hosted its annual Aerospace Conference. Doomsday scenarios often serve as popular subjects of fiction, be it movies, books, or video games. The moon is a proposed location for a vault. We have built vast storage vaults in the arctic and elsewhere, and scientists hope to build yet another one, underground, on the moon. At a recent aerospace conference, the group’s representative proposed sending millions of sperm and egg samples to the Moon. In fact, the scientific minds at the University of Arizona have suggested using our lunar nightlight as a sperm bank. News video on One News Page on Friday, 12 March 2021. They propose to build an underground vault on the moon as a sort of global insurance policy. While the Moon isn’t an ideal candidate for permanent residence, it may serve as a storage unit for invaluable resources. Scientists Propose Building a ‘Doomsday Vault’ with 6.7 Million Sperm Samples to the Moon: In an. The CLV might not be the only backup plan needed to ensure the survival of agriculture in the event of a Doomsday situation, and scientists have come up with an out-of-this-world idea for an additional backup facility, a plan C, as it were. The idea is similar to the Svalbard 'Doomsday' seed vault in Norway, that stores over a million seed samples from around the world. This 'Lunar ark' could be a global insurance policy for mankind against natural disasters and other catastrophes. Preparing for a doomsday scenario, scientists have proposed building an underground ark hidden in a network of tubes on the Moon. Thus our continued fixation on the habitability of planets like Mars likewise, strategies for relevant uses for our old friend the Moon. Scientists want to build an 'ark' on the moon, filled with 6.7 million sperm samples. Scientists are pulling inspiration from Noahs Ark in a new lunar proposal that they call a global insurance policy. Given the increasingly precarious state of things on Earth, some scientists have begun devising plans to commence human life elsewhere.
