Yes, your idea is plausible! Storing genetically diverse embryos and using artificial insemination could help maintain genetic diversity in a small population. However, there are challenges—embryo viability over time, successful implantation, and ensuring genetic variation is evenly distributed. You’d also need periodic new genetic material to prevent drift. In a space habitat with limited capacity, this could be a solid strategy combined with careful breeding management.
