Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Christopher Stott, the CEO and founder of Lonestar Data Holdings, joins us to talk about putting computer storage in space! Chris explains how Lonestar managed to place a data storage device on the moon (with more to come), why nation states want lunar data backups, why space’s natural cooling and solar power provide optimal conditions for these mini data centers, and why backing up humanity's data off-planet isn't sci-fi but reality.

**Notes:**

• 8TB storage in 1kg device tested on moon
• Next launch: 1 petabyte to low-Earth orbit
• 15 petabyte system planned for Lagrange point
• Launch costs dropped to <$10K per kilogram
• 300 petabytes already pre-reserved by clients
• Insurance costs 60% of space mission lifecycle
