'Doomsday' Vault

Moved. :)
Interesting topic, kind of like the ultimate time capsule - I wonder if they'll go down the road of storing animal genetic material as well, or would that be too controversial?
 
I knew that Kew Gardens in London was collecting seeds from plants all over the world for something like that, but not that other countries were doing the same thing, nor that there was a big vault for it in Norway. I think it's a good idea, as long as it's done properly.
 
Very true. I'm glad that there are some forward thinking people in this world. It gives me a little hope, at least.
 
I'm doing a short presentation on this next week... which I really should start writing at some point. If I come up with anything interesting, I'll post it for you:)

or people! Has anyone read Ben Elton's - This Other Eden? This could be the start of a biosphere.
 
Yup, though it was quite a while ago, so I can only remember vague plot outlines. Elton's books all get a bit mixed up - the focus of my presentation will be what this vault bodes for other such structures - for animal, or even human genetic tissue. Very sci-fi;)
