Scientists study freeze-dried mouse sperm in space to explore off-planet genetic preservation.

Researchers at the University of Yamanashi are studying freeze-dried mouse sperm stored in space to explore the possibility of preserving Earth's genetic resources on celestial bodies like the moon. This could ensure human survival in case of a catastrophic event on Earth. The team aims to create a system for conducting rodent in vitro fertilization (IVF) in space, potentially allowing for the reproduction of mammals off-planet.
