Basically, Noah’s Ark but in space
Okay guys, this is kinda crazy but engineers from the University of Arizona have proposed a plan to literally back up all the genetic info on Earth to the moon – like it was a hard disk or something.

This will be done as a final measure to prepare for the unlikely chance that Armageddon hits!
You can check out the plans for the super ambitious project below:
