@ERROR_WTF@chaos.social There's no such thing as a small data centre, and the moon is a lot further away than Geosynchronous Earth Orbit. There's also the problem of access: the moon isn't visible in the sky over one part of the Earth (such as the USA) all of the time, so that means multiple ground stations, which means connected infrastructure — which is vulnerable. Another consideration: after our nuclear war bumps us back a few thousand years, how many millennia will it take for us to get access to that data again? And will it even be understandable to future humankind? All of these considerations are reasons to become a multiple-planet species sooner rather than later. Stuck on one planet (that we really don't seem to appreciate) means one idiot with the nuclear codes could undo everything. Depressing. @jodmentum@apobangpo.space @sundogplanets@mastodon.social
