🌍🚀 A “Seed Pyramid” on the Moon – Humanity’s Backup Plan
Alongside a suite of scientific instruments, the Blue Ghost lunar lander has delivered something truly unique to the Moon: a pyramid containing life’s seeds and Wikipedia encoded in DNA.
This project was developed by the biotech company LifeShip in collaboration with the Arch Mission Foundation, an organization dedicated to preserving human knowledge for future generations—or perhaps even extraterrestrials. If life on Earth were to face extinction, these seeds could potentially help revive it.
This is the third lunar library sent by Arch Mission Foundation, adding to their efforts to safeguard humanity’s legacy beyond Earth.
🔬 What’s inside the pyramid?
🌾 100 types of plant seeds & DNA from 500 plant species
🪴 Essential crops, iconic ornamental plants, and sacred medicinal herbs
🌲 The tallest trees on Earth – coastal redwoods
📀 Images of 100 plants preserved on ceramic plates by Cerabyte, designed to last for billions of years
A small step for @science, a giant leap for planetary backup. 🌱🌕✨
