"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."
We're already working on a DNA "ark" of endangered species. It shouldn't be terrifically difficult to put a copy of it on the Moon.
Incidentally, this scenario is very much like that depicted in Jack Williamson's "Terraforming Earth" -- only his plan called for cloned humans to oversee the post-apocalypse restoration effort.
