...but some engineers are now proposing a different kind of archive on the moon.
DNA.
Because while it's expensive to transport it to the moon, once it's there all you have to do is put it in a lava tube, and you have perfect storage conditions. The idea is to collect DNA from as many species as possible (as well as a nice variety of human DNA). They think it would take 250 launches. It would be solar powered.
Doesn't seem like something we can do tomorrow, but is it a good idea? Perhaps.
(It's also major story bait).
