The 'Doomsday' Seed Vault Is Meeting Its Doom Sooner Than Expected. There are similar programmes, such as the Global Seed Vault which houses over 1 million samples of seeds on Svalbard, an island between Norway and the North Pole. The scientists didn't just propose saving a slice of life on Earth. 'Earth is naturally a volatile environment,' said researcher Jekan Thanga, a professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering in the University of Arizona College of Engineering. Because human civilisation has such a large footprint if it were to collapse, that could have a negative cascading effect on the rest of us.” 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.
“As humans, we had a close call about 75,000 years ago with the Toba supervolcanic eruption, which caused a 1,000 year cooling period and, according to some, aligns with an estimated drop in human diversity. The researchers said the project is dependent on advancements in cryo-robotics technology to be cryopreserved, the seeds must be cooled to minus 292 Fahrenheit, while stem cells must be stored at. Through building this doomsday vault, they hope to protect the world’s microbial. “Earth is a naturally volatile environment.” Jekan Thanga said, a professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering at the University of Arizona, in a statement. Scientists are looking to create a vault that will hold samples of human poop from around the world. The scientists labelled it “a modern global insurance policy” for over 6 million species found on Earth, acting as insurance against the decimation of our planet. These would be cryogenically frozen, stored away in tunnels underneath the moon’s surface, CNN reports. The Doomsday Vault examines how scientists. This time, nine different institutions have.
Proposed items to go in this bunker include seeds, spores, sperm and egg samples from various Earth species, according to scientists.

Scientists want to create an underground structure to store materials that can save us in case of an apocalypse-style situation.
