I don't want kids, but I do want my legacy to live on. On my death bed, I'd like to launch hundreds if not thousands of vials of my semen into space, in the hopes that they seed life on the habitable planets I direct them towards (assuming affordable and reliable launch technologies have been produced by then).

Would it be at all feasible for life to evolve from my frozen sperm, assuming it landed on a habitable planet?

I like the idea that in four billion years there could be an intelligent civilisation built from my semen.

Your gametes themselves will never seed life. They exist only to join with the female gametes, the ovum.

I think in order to make this work, you will have to let the semen go a bit fetid, to ensure that bacteria is mixed through the sperm cells. These bacteria then may go on the seed life, with your semen as food.

This however, will still fail, as all life must be seeded from phytobacteria which gains energy from the sun. The bacteria in your semen will not be of this kind, and will quickly die once the semen nourishing them runs out.

In short, no, this plan is not feasible.

eating pinaple makes your sperm taste like pineaple so if you were to eat pinaple leaves could your sperm photosynthesize then>

Semen, when frozen at a rate which does not immediately kill the sperm cells, usually still remains valid for ~20 years.
OP, I'm not against your proposal, I mean you'll never find a human woman so your best chance is with the void of space, but be reasonable:

How are you going to get your dickwhiz to a habitable planet within 20 years?

Well I wasn't necessarily expecting the sperms themselves to survive, but I was kinda hoping organic matter in general may serve as a catalyst and I want that organic matter to be my jizz.
