Fly the Fools to the Moon! By Brian Simpson

First it was the plan to send out to possible aliens in deep space, information about the human race, so that they will come and exterminate us. Now, the plan by another set of space cadets, is to collect human and other DNA, put it in a biobank, and drop in on the moon, just in case intelligent life trots by. If there was any intellect at work here, the logical thing would be to save life on Earth, because super-advanced space beings are not going to be interested in a whole bunch of chemicals, especially from losers who wiped themselves out in nuclear war. The DNA will probably be destroyed just in case it contained any nasty bugs, like cosmic Covid. And of course, Elon Musk’s SpaceX is involved, naturally.

“SPACEX just launched a lot of human DNA to the International Space Station.

The Crew-4 mission blasted off on April 27 and part of the cargo was a biobank containing DNA from 500 different species.

One of those species was humans and there are now over 2,000 different DNA samples from lots of different people in space.

A company called LifeShip is behind the DNA collection.

It hopes to one day create an off-world genetic human seed bank on the Moon.

The idea is similar to the Global Seed Vault we have on Earth.

The Global Seed Vault has the capacity to hold 4.5million seed samples.

If there happened to be a global catastrophe and a lot of life on Earth was destroyed, the Global Seed Vault could help humans grow plants again or help a species come back from the brink of extinction.

LifeShip aims to do a similar thing, but with humans and other animals.

Its website states: “At LifeShip, we believe that humanity has an important part to play in continuing the cycle of life in the Universe and expanding life outwards from our planet.

“We believe in preserving the genetic blueprint of Earth’s incredible biodiversity as it is today for future generations.

“We believe in furthering the human story into the cosmos so that we leave a legacy and are never forgotten.

“We believe that we can achieve this by taking small steps towards seeding life beyond Earth and extending humanity to the stars.”

Sending human DNA to the ISS was just a “demonstration mission”.

The plan is for human DNA to be sent to the Moon in 2023.

LifeShip wants a “genetic time capsule” to be put on the Moon’s surface during Nasa’s Astrobotic lunar lander mission.

The company isn’t 100% sure what will happen to human DNA in the distant future.”
