For many years, science fiction writers and scientists have spoke about man one day living on the moon. There has been plans for a moon base and
pictures on NASA FTP site on what a moon base could look like.
But the new interest in a moon base or moon city would help man to continue after a dramatic event like a nuclear holocaust, etc.
news.bbc.co.uk
The European Space Agency's chief scientist has said that there should be a Noah's Ark on the Moon, in case the Earth is destroyed by an asteroid
or nuclear holocaust.
Speaking exclusively to BBC News at the British Association Science Festival, Dr Bernard Foing said that the ark should be a repository for the DNA of
every single species of plant and animal.
Dr Foing is head of Europe's Moon missions, so his thoughts on matters lunar should be taken seriously.
He is concerned that if the Earth were destroyed, there would be little or nothing left of the rich diversity of life on the planet.

This might be seen as a chance to save mankind if we ever encounter a horrorifc event. Personally, I do believe that the moon might provide a
Sanctuary for man in the future.

..... it's incredible, instead of not getting into situations that WILL brigna us to an eventual nuclear holocaust, we are thinking of the moon as a
"sanctuary".... we invent cures for viruses that do not exist unless we create them.

Why would the Moon be a better repository for human DNA, than, say, an ultra deep cave in granite in the middle of a very stable tectonic plate.
Afterall, the Earth will eventually recover and then people can go back out onto the surface. It's kind of hard to prosper on the Moon.

The moon would prove to be better, we could learn a lot of new things and also it might help us grow as a space race

I can think of far better reasons for visiting the Moon than to setup a repository of DNA in some cockamany sci-fi scheme to preserve the human race
in case of the total annihilation of human existance on Earth.

One ex-military member of Steven Greer's disclosure project was willing to testify to congress UNDER OATH that he has personally seen photographs of
a base on the far side of the moon, which was allegedly seen in the 1960's:
 In September 2000, US Air Force Sergeant Karl Wolfe testified while working at a National Security Agency facility on Langley Air Force Base
in Virginia in July of 1965 -- he was shown photographs taken by the Lunar Orbiter -- of a base on the backside of the Moon. 
Perhaps they are slowly introducing this subject into the public.. a deconditioning process.

The article says, "He is concerned that if the Earth were destroyed...". I'm assuming that he means an impact so massive that earth would never be
able to recover. I imagine that nothing we build here could survive something like that... no matter how deep.

If the Earth were destroyed, essentially shattered, the Moon would likely undergo some massive gravitational distortions of its own.

As long as the moon isn't hit with any debris from the impact on Earth (which is unlikely), then any "repository" on the moon would probably have a
better chance of survival. However Taibunsuu, as you've pointed out, there probably wouldn't be any survivors left to do anything with the
repository anyway lol.
If the Earth were "destroyed", what WOULD you do with a repository of DNA?

Maybe the hope is that some alien species will be really nice and restart us someplace. Oh boy. lol.

You guys are so silly... everybody knows it's so we can quickly clone a sperm whale from it's moon-safe DNA when the alien probe returns and nobody
knows how to talk to it besides the whales -- who by then wouldn't exist on earth due to us hunting them into extinction.
Sheesh. Next you're going to tell me that you don't know what dilithium crystals are for!
