Space agency NASA, computer startup Lonestar and the Isle of Man are joining forces to spearhead a new data storage solution: using blockchain to safely store data on the moon.
“In history, we've seen several circumstances where perceived bodies of knowledge have been lost or cultures have disappeared,” head of innovation at Digital Isle of Man Kurt Roosen told BBC Science Focus.
“It could sit there forever,” explained Roosen to BBC Science Focus. This makes it more sustainable than storage solutions found here on earth. However, not all agree with Roosen. Roosen argued that the new solution is unparalleled as the data can’t be hacked on the moon because it would require the hacker actually being physically present on the lunar surface.However, Bentley said this wasn’t true. “Data breaches and hacking have nothing to do with proximity. If you can connect to it, and you can get past the encryption and security, then you can get the data,” he noted.
“[People often tell NASA] ‘You made up the moon missions’ and proving that they’re actually there is surprisingly difficult.”
