"Data is the greatest currency created by the human race," explained Chris Stott, Founder of Lonestar."We are dependent upon it for nearly everything we do and it is too important to us as a species to store in Earth's ever more fragile biosphere. Earth's largest satellite, our Moon, represents the ideal place to safely store our future."

As the Moon is tidally locked to Earth, one side of it constantly faces Earth, which lends itself to direct line-of-sight communication between machinery on Earth and on the Moon.Last month, Lonestar announced it had signed contracts with NASA-backed aerospace firm Intuitive Machines to launch prototype hardware and software aboard two lunar landers. Intuitive Machines will send Lonestar's first mission, IM-1, to the Moon aboard one of its Nova-C landers near the end of the year.

, Stott said the company has plans to launch servers capable of storing five petabytes in 2024, and 50 petabytes by 2026. The hope is that they will be able to transfer data to and from the Moon at a rate of 15 Gigabits per second using a series of antennas.that the data centers could be placed — with the help of robots — in lunar lava tubes to protect them from radiation as well as the Moon's highly fluctuating temperatures.
