Doomsday vault on the Moon would hold back-up of Earth's plants and animals

Sir (f’rexample), this is just a Starbucks with an unusually large live plant selection.

I mean, that’s on the surface and core of the moon probably, though there’s probably a low-initial-shielding-mass transgalactic restore process to try, and I haven’t even sampled the ‘500000000 year Button’ https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2022/6/14/sta-sugaharas-500-million-year-button-manga-gets-anime-adaptation In which you get $7500 and I guess your youth back for enduring that, and no XP or memory. (CG Anime last season.)

Yeah, there are Turks somewhere doing the experimental astrophysics version with little native rad resistance and all moving detonating and…maybe the farming part is less primordial forces and more seed coating and drillin’? Hey, spinning up restore moons 5-13 and Earths 15-73 and virtual earths 98365-396927, see you next interval. Yeah ‘Oops, All Belgium’ is in there, why?

Is there a RESTful way? Easing Uranus into a sparky refinery loop and seeing what trans-Oort worlds can light up and sidle by that mass gratefully? [My memory pokes me to remember the Gundam or DBZ movie which first 1/3 is Ball (but why not Capsule? Aw memory!) space pod survival.

The moon is a dusty jerk; gonna keep lobbing regolith bedpan restore-o-kits to Earth until one takes, whether your farm was going great or not. Is this not a reasonable place to park a rainforest? No, not Cafe, Rainforest.

So Harlan Ellison producing Outer Limits ep. in 1964 was a real thing, wow.

Seeds have been flown to space and back on a lot of missions for decades

It’s possible to buy chilli seeds that allegedly originate from seeds sent into space on Chinese missions- they’re sold as Hangjiao peppers.

Look, everyone knows that in that kind of scenario, there would be a secret high tech enclave, probably worshipping the great god NASA (or ELON for modern audiences) who have been literally religiously maintaining a space going vehicle of some kind throughout the Event and the post-Event “Unpleasantness”, etc.

Together of course with all the necessary infrastructure and equipment to get to the moon and back and recreate all the species from the centuries old data and samples on the Moon.

Therefore all our hero needs to do is escape the marauders, make it to the enclave, persuade them he is the awaited Techno-Messiah and/or steal the Upgoer.

[FGD135]

There are several craft beers that are made with hops that have been to space and back.

@L0ki

Secret? It’s, like, at the South Pole; everybody knows that!

Made with liquid that’s been around the “water cycle” a few times too.

And while poking around on the Moon, they activate the seeder cycle for the Doomsday vaults from 65 million years ago.

@Shuck

All these fantasies about letting climate change run unimpeded and then reversing both it and the total collapse of the environment which allows our current civilization to exist, fill me with dread, as they’re all about brainwashing us into allowing the irreversible to happen, while pretending it’s reversible.

If i may be extra cynical, who would be surprised if the Institute received an anonymous $1,000,000 donation (small change in the petroleum industry), with a note, “We really love stories about moon colonies!”

[Shuck]

The whole thing is so utterly ridiculous, it’s hard not to be very cynical (and even conspiratorial) about it.

[awfulhorrid]

Haven’t I read this story already?

In the end, even the high tech Enclave weren’t able to pull off the spaceship part of the societal preservation program. Plus I wouldn’t fancy my chances at talking my way into their good graces; fairly rigid and uncompromising lot.

[L0ki]

Sure. It’s a premise that only works in fiction and fairly optimistic and handwavy fiction at that.
