Scientists want to store them in a solar-powered vault too. They said this could help mankind repopulate in case of a catastrophic disaster.

Scientists suggested that humanity could buy into a “modern global insurance policy” by storing 6.7 million sperm samples on the moon.
This will involve sending the ova and sperm samples of 6.7 million species on Earth to the Moon through multiple payloads. Then, the samples would be stored in a vault beneath the lunar surface.
New York Post reported that this solution is similar to the Doomsday seed vault that is holding over a million crop samples that originate from almost every country around the world.
The idea was present at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Aerospace Conference by six researchers from the University of Arizona. According to the researchers, this would protect humanity from extinction.
They said that the lunar ark could help mankind repopulate in case of a catastrophic disaster like a supervolcanic eruption, a deadly epidemic, widespread drought, a large-scale nuclear war, or an asteroid.
The study author Jekan Thangavelautham stated in his presentation, “Earth is naturally a volatile environment,” and that samples stored on the planet still remain vulnerable to massive disasters.
The scientists behind the study have also calculated and found it’s feasible to send eggs, sperm, spores, and seeds of about 6.7 million species to the Moon. Thangavelautham said that the samples can be sent to the Moon in 250 flights. To compare, building the ISS involved 40 trips.
To prevent the samples from welding together or freezing beneath the lunar surface, they suggested that the facility run on solar panels. Doctoral student Álvaro Díaz-Flores Caminero said projects like this are bringing mankind closer to achieve a space civilization and we may soon settle down on Mars and the Moon.
“Multidisciplinary projects are hard due to their complexity, but I think the same complexity is what makes them beautiful.”

Losing one's crypto money can be disheartening after making a wrong crypto investment. It takes a lot of support from family and friends to bounce back into life, that is why I'm grateful to my sister who connected me to a recovery team that recovered my money even when I thought it would be impossible. Thank you Mr Jerry from the recovery team. He was the personnel that was handed to me to handle my case. and i must say the experience was a smooth one, like i was carried along and it took him within 80_100hours to get my money into my wallet. Thanks once again Chrissy. I love you to the moon and back. Thanks for always looking out for me. AND thank you to HACKING PROFESSIONAL3 AT GMAIL DOT COM for answering to your amazing review. why not use their services when you find yourself in the same situation. I bet you they will deliver.

You can not tell anyone how to spend their earnings or money, but I'll use this opportunity to create a witness on how I was being swindled of my hard earned savings to a so called Profitable Bitcoin Investment, This bogus company took over $80,000 from me, thanks to the review recommending about the BACKEND RECOVER TEAM I was directed to reach out to them. It was within the 73rd hour of interacting with them that I got 90% of my bitcoin and other crypto assets back into my portfolio wallets, I was amazed and had to praise them whenever I can, for the job well done. BACKEND RECOVER AT RESCUE TEAM DOT COM is their mail to reach out to them.

I was repeatedly duped in my desperate search for prompt help to recover my money following an online cryptocurrency theft. Even after paying all of the fees and charges that were consistently asked, I was unable to retrieve any of the $77,000 USD that I had invested, let alone the profits. Two weeks later, I came across a review on Recovery Expert, a hacker who, given the right information, could break into the scammer's account and retrieve money that had been pilfered. I sent him an email at [RECOVERYEXPERT at RESCUETEAM dot com] as soon as possible. I was shocked that he was able to get my money back from the swindle. In less than 48 hours, he assisted me in getting the money I had lost. Please get in touch with him for his best-ever performance.
