The team’s model for the underground ark includes solar panels, at least two elevator shafts, and cryogenic preservation modules (Source: University of Arizona) Yes, the moon was once a very habitable place, quite similar to Earth. They are about 3 to 4 billion years old, in a time where there were volcanos on the moon. These 200 lava tubes beneath the surface of the moon have been discovered in 2013. The only good thing about the project is a network of tunnels in the shape of rounded tubes which could be used to build the vault. The average temperature on Mars is about -25 degrees Celsius (-15 degrees Fahrenheit), and the lack of breathable air makes it even more difficult to build. The cold temperatures can make the metals that are used during the building process can break or even freeze to the whole structure were not necessary. The lunar Arkīuilding such an ark or vault is not as difficult as it may seem, the difficult part is building it on the moon where conditions are unfavorable. Such an ark or vault would be the backup plan for a number of things, not just an inevitable apocalypse. Many species are going extinct and by year the number keeps on growing. It is not just the future, but something that is happening right now and has for the past 200 years. Another interesting reasoning given by the team is that in the future biodiversity will decrease significantly. There are many other reasons that are mentioned by the research team from a Climate Change perspective. “As humans, we always had close calls throughout history” and “Earth is naturally a volatile environment.” ( Quote by Jekan Thanga) Even Professor Thanga mentions the historical reasoning for this project by stating that: The vault that the team of scientists has conceptualized would be a lot bigger and it would not only house seeds but also frozen human sperm and eggs as well as the egg samples from 6.7 million species on Earth.

The head of the research team named Jekan Thanga who started this research had been inspired by the biblical tale of Noah’s Ark.
Based on historical events, and the fast multiplying factors that put this world in danger, a team of researchers from the University of Arizona have developed a plan B that could save humanity. This planet that we live on has an expiry date which will be most likely man-made, so why not have a plan B? If the recent events that have occurred during 2020 have not taught us that nothing is impossible, I don’t know what can open the eyes of society. With the sort of weapons that are available today, we come closer to the destruction of our own world, as if Global Warming wasn’t doing enough damage.

The point that I am trying to get across is that our world has been full of conflict which is something inevitable, meaning that we will most probably end up seeing another war soon enough. If Arkhipov wasn’t going to stop a nuclear missile from hitting America we would all probably be dead now. If Napolean had the weaponry that is available today we would all probably speak French. If Roman Emperors had the technology we do today they would probably nuke most of the world. There was always a fear that people would kill one another until nothing was left, but we like to think that the world leaders from 1000 or even 2000 years ago had more sense.
Within the last 20 centuries, our world has seen a lot of war, destruction, and suffering.
