These pits would provide a readymade shelter to the cell storage and will protect it from threats like meteorites and space radiation. The Earth based repository would leave the collected specimen vulnerable and that is why they proposed to store these reproductive cells in the recently discovered lunar pits where lava once flowed billions of years ago, according to scientists. “Earth is naturally a volatile environment,” aforementioned study author Jekan Thanga. They believe that it will protect mankind from extinction. They submitted their report, “Lunar Pits and Lava Tubes for a Modern Ark” at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Aerospace Conference. Scientists want to create an underground structure to store materials that can save us in case of an apocalypse-style situation. The lunar ark is like Noahs Arkwith samples of DNA and seeds from plants and animals on Earthbut stored in frozen capsules on the moon for safekeeping. This idea was presented by a team of six researchers from the University of Arizona. They want it to be seen as a ‘modern global insurance policy.’ The samples will be stored in a vault beneath the moon’s surface. Select from our newsletters below and enter your email to subscribe.

We would probably have a contemporary version of Noah’s story and this time we’ll have proof of it happening.Īccording to a New York Post report, scientists have suggested building an “ark” on the moon which will be filled with sperm and ova samples of 6.7 million species. Engineers want to build an underground lunar ark, filled with millions of seed, spore, sperm and egg samples from Earths 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. Scientists say that 250 rocket launches would be required to transport about 50 samples from each of 6.7 million species to the moon.
