Taking cloud computing beyond our atmosphere.
on Monday, Lonestar Data Holdings announced that it had secured an additional $5 million in funding as it marches ever closer to its ambitious experiment of running data centers on the Moon.press release last year"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," he added.
"Earth’s largest satellite, our Moon, represents the ideal place to safely store our future."Lonestar — which seems like a strange name for a venture based in Florida rather than Texas — successfully tested its experimental data center in December 2021 in microgravity conditions, or what's essentially zero gravity, aboard the International Space Station. With that under its belt, plus some extra cash to boot, Lonestar's now equipped to give the data center a shot on the real thing. But it isn't exactly shipping six foot servers — that'd be too inefficient and costly. Instead, Lonestar will try out a mere two pound data center packing a 16 terabyte capacity, Stott said in anrocket as part of the upcoming IM-2 mission from Intuitive Machines, a NASA contractor.
