NASA plans to establish a blockchain data center on the moon to store classified national information.

According to BlockBeats news on September 26th, NASA plans to send a batch of data to the moon next year to test the possibility of backup storage on the lunar base, in response to threats to Earth's data security. The mission is part of the Artemis program, and NASA's partners include Lonestar, a computing startup based in Florida, and the autonomous British Crown Dependency of the Isle of Man located in the Irish Sea. Both parties hope to use blockchain technology to ensure data security, prevent tampering, and prove that the information in the archives is authentic. This will be the first time that blockchain technology is used on the moon. The test mission is scheduled to be launched from the United States in February 2024. In the future, data centers may store more sensitive national data, including any cultural information and financial records related to human health, such as genomic data used for drug research.
