The bricks of life, the carbon, hydrogen, et cetera, they were produced by the death of previous stars.
So this is how they were produced.
And stars like our sun started to form 10 billion years ago.
That doesn't mean that the sun is the only kind of star that
produce life or enable life, but actually was produced 10 billion years ago.
Now, what you're talking about is a little different.
Right now, there are many...
many efforts to do the type of thing you are talking about, which is to put our DNA on whatever kind of substrate and preserve it in vaults, either in different place on earth or on the moon.
Some people are already thinking about putting DNA on the moon.
As far as brains are concerned, it's drawing towards transhumanism, which is the enhancement of who we are through AI and machine learning.
Of course, having backups is a good thing.
For me, I would say that taking care of our planet and going back to a place where we are in equilibrium with our environment would be also maybe the best backup possible.

Right now, we are like teenagers with enough brain to create cool tools, but we don't have enough brain to understand yet the consequences of what we are doing.
And right now, we are paying for this.
