> Some parts of the moon are permanently shadowed and therefore extremely cold, as low as -173 °C. This means that no energy or water would need to be expended to cool the data center.

That doesn't sound right to me. If there's no air, then only black body radiation can be used to cool the data center. That means a massive radiator, a lot larger than a heat-to-air radiator+fan used on earth.

They've got it all figured out, you just don't understand. Basically, the plan is:

1. Put data on the moon

2. ???

3. Profit

This is as big a scam or waste as those solar mirror people. Throwing a USB stick out the lunar rover window and calling it a data center. Data centers usually do stuff other than sit in the dust.

Feel free to invest though, perhaps if you feel good about discarding hard drives on the moon I could interest you in space mirrors and for a low low price I'll lease you the spot where your harddrive lands for 100 years.

Okay, so here me out: the ultimate cold storage for someone like Iron Mountain. You'd have to understand that you'll need a minimum of 96 hours for retrieval time, and it's gonna be expensive to get that retrieval rocket there and back. Or, build a big dish and send the data via satellite signals.

"you'll need a minimum of 96 hours for retrieval time"

We can't even get people back from the ISS in 96 days.

That's because of the incompetence of the manufacturer of the craft used, not humanity's inability to make this happen. So this isn't even close to being a fair comparison.

Are you suggesting that we "simply" build an entire space transit system so people can come and go to the moon on short notice in order to support hard drive archiving?
