Life outside of earth is harder; an Ark it wouldn't be, that's a bad analogy.

Haha, anything to get funding, no? Big Grin | :-D

storing samples on the moon reduces the risk of biodiversity being lost if an event was to cause the total annihilation of Earth.
If a "total annihilation" occurs, what use is the spermbank? Aliens will destroy it if the need the moon, because it has no value to them.

Mankind would not be in that scenario, since "total annihilation of the Earth" implies that.

This is a man looking for funding, not someone doing science. It lacks the basics that non-scientists can point out.
