Researchers calculated that freeze-dried sperm could be stored for up to 200 years on future orbital outposts. Humans may have to redistribute their genetic resources to outer space in the event of a disaster on Earth. When it’s time to migrate to other planets, the diversity of genetic resources must therefore be maintained. Not just for humans This includes pets and other animals as well. However, it is still necessary to examine the effects of space radiation on frozen female eggs and fertilized embryos before humans advance into the space age.
