There are hundreds of lava tubes beneath the surface of the Moon. Preparing for a doomsday scenario, scientists have proposed building an underground ark hidden in a network of tubes on the Moon. An arctic seed vault meant to survive global crises has been. In particular, the Moon's lava tubes and lunar pits could be ideal places to construct a modern-day Noah's Ark, similar in concept to Svalbard's famous "Doomsday" Seed Vault, but in a place where the climate crisis can't reach the specimens. they propose to build an underground vault on the moon as a sort of global insurance policy. The Moon might not be an ideal location for ease of access but it has advantages beyond being removed from the "doomsday" scenario that may have befallen our planet. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault the so-called doomsday vault on Spitsbergen in the Arctic Circle currently houses 992,000 unique seed samples to protect against biodiversity loss. Hence, the "Lunar Ark" where cryogenically frozen samples of sperm, eggs, spores, and seeds of 6.7 million species can be protected in safety on the Moon. Presenting their idea at the IEEE Aerospace Conference held over the weekend, the team sees it as a "modern global insurance policy" against disasters that may befall Earthly civilization. Scientists Propose Another Doomsday Vault - on the Moon: Tuesday Ma12:58PM: Russia Partners With China for Lunar Space Station: Tuesday Ma06:43PM: Japan Billionaire Seeks Crew For Moon Trip: Friday Janu10:58PM Major Component Malfunction Ends SLS Rocket Test Early. Fowler is perhaps best known as the father of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, described by former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as an inspirational symbol. CBS News reports: Scientists are pulling inspiration from Noah's Ark in a new lunar proposal that they call a 'global insurance policy.' They hope to send an ark to the moon, filled with 335 million sperm and egg samples, in case a catastrophe happens on Earth. Scientists Propose Building Doomsday Vault on Moon. The proposal may sound like something out of a science fiction story but it is surprisingly realistic. a seedling on the moon, taking another lead in science development for humans. At it would take to create a repository of life - not just humankind but animal and plant life - far away from the risks that our planet faces, whether natural or due to human activity.
