Dubbed the "global insurance policy", the project is planning on sending seeds, sperm and ovaries to the Moon. A solar-powered ark would then cryogenically store the frozen samples from some 6.7 million species underground.

"Conservative" embraced my values and political positions exquisitely. I unashamedly proclaimed myself to be Conservative....
