Already this year, the first data center will appear on the moon.

The TO2-IM mission has just received the green light and funding from NASA. As part of the project, startup Lonestar will send a small 16 terabyte data center to the surface of the satellite. This is only the first of the missions - in the future, it is planned to build an entire data infrastructure on the moon. Initially, Lonestar is offering storage on the Moon to large corporations as a safe haven where information won't disappear due to accidental deletion or natural disasters. In the future, data centers are planned to be part of the infrastructure of lunar missions.
