Preventing Earth's Destruction! NASA Plans to Use Blockchain to Store Critical Human Data on the Moon.

With the increasing incidents of severe data breaches this year and the growing threats to human survival on Earth, a weekend report by the BBC has pointed out that some are looking to the skies for data security. The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is set to send a spacecraft loaded with data to the Moon next year to test the possibility of backup storage on the lunar surface as part of the Artemis program.

Using blockchain for data security, NASA is collaborating with the Florida-based cloud computing startup Lonestar and the Autonomous British Crown Dependency of the Isle of Man, located in the Irish Sea. They plan to use blockchain to ensure data security, prevent tampering, and prove that the information stored in the archives is authentic.

The test mission is scheduled to launch in February 2024 from the United States mainland. After the data-carrying cube lands, the partners plan to digitally filter the data at the Lonestar data center to prove its origin on the Moon. Then, this data will be transmitted back to Earth and integrated into the blockchain to demonstrate that the data has been verified.

Kurt Roosen, Head of the Isle of Man's Innovation Department, stated: "This is a very interesting challenge, not only for us but also for NASA. People often believe that NASA faked the moon landing, and proving that it indeed happened is very difficult."

The mission aims to preserve humanity's most significant discoveries and creations to prevent their loss in the event of a major catastrophe on Earth. Kurt Roosen mentioned that there have been similar cases in history, such as the legendary Library of Alexandria in ancient Egypt, which was said to contain vast archives of human knowledge but mysteriously disappeared around 500 AD.

It is reported that the cube that will be sent to the Moon to store data is a book-sized black rectangular object that can store 1TB of data. It is powered by solar energy, has basic data processing capabilities, and features internal solid-state drives. It requires no resource consumption or cooling technology.
