Establishing the ark would involve sending the 6.7 million samples to the moon in multiple payloads, then storing them in a vault beneath the surface, where they would be safe. We have built vast storage vaults in the arctic and elsewhere, and scientists hope to build yet another one, underground, on the moon. (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. University of Arizona researcher Jekan Thanga and a group of his students proposed the concept in a paper presented during the IEEE Aerospace Conference this week. We need to understand that genebanks are not seed museums but the repositories of vital, living resources that are used almost every day in the never-ending battle against major threats to food production, Bioversity International’s Frison said. This past Saturday, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers hosted its annual Aerospace Conference. The vault will officially open on February 26, 2008. At a recent aerospace conference, the group’s representative proposed sending millions of sperm and egg samples to the Moon. Moon and oldest of which, published in Pennsylvania, has stars faded. In fact, the scientific minds at the University of Arizona have suggested using our lunar nightlight as a sperm bank. This is, however, paid over to him exclusively for the purpose of buying a lot. and Estes Kefauver (D-TN) proposed a Department of Science and Technology. While the Moon isn’t an ideal candidate for permanent residence, it may serve as a storage unit for invaluable resources. Scientists want to store the DNA of 6.7 million of Earths species on a lunar ark as a backup. Newspapers tried to fan a panic with headlines about the Russian moon that. Thus our continued fixation on the habitability of planets like Mars likewise, strategies for relevant uses for our old friend the Moon. Among those giving the proposal serious treatment is Jamie Carter, a science writer for Forbes magazine, who in an article headlined Why We Need A ‘Moon Ark’ To Store Frozen Seeds, Sperm And Eggs From 6.7 Million Earth Species detailed some of the Svalbard vault’s supposed deficiencies. Given the increasingly precarious state of things on Earth, some scientists have begun devising plans to commence human life elsewhere. 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.
