IS IT LUNACY TO PUT A DATA CENTER ON THE MOON?

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

One of the payloads on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launch today is an Intuitive Machines mission that will stay on the surface of the moon for approximately three weeks before returning to Earth. The lander contains a mini data center belonging to Lonestar Data Holdings that weighs just 1 kilogram and contains 8 terabytes of SSD storage. Moon-based data centers would be protected from Earthly hazards such as natural disasters, war, and other disruptions. They would also not be subject to the laws of any nation, allowing them to accommodate a diverse customer base. These data centers could be powered entirely through solar and naturally cooled through the environment.
