This story is begging to be found in Drudge's right-hand column. You've got to admit, it'd be one hell of a maintenance call:
However strange the idea may sound, TransOrbital of La Jolla, California is taking [installing data servers on the moon] and other proposals for marrying high-tech and the Earth's only natural satellite seriously. The company is getting ready to send a commercial mission to the moon and intends to send servers, data, handheld computers, and digital cameras along for the ride.[...]
So is there any point in storing data on a server on the moon? TransOrbital has had companies that want to back up critical data somewhere other than on earth express interest, and is working on ways to make the idea attractive. "We're trying to develop some wider bandwidth laser communications going beyond the communication protocols developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory that exist for use in space," Laurie says. "It is feasible to have electronic data on the moon, and to receive it from earth, although delays are implied."
[...]
Laurie is most excited about servers storing data on the moon, though. "The moon is a pretty safe place to store your data," he says.
We'll see how the green lobby handles the prospect of old Luna's beautiful, tranquil, pockmarked, dusty, star-sky, airless and lifeless horizon marred by those unwieldy, dense alloys of human commercial enterprise. If intrusive, stuff them in craters; plenty of craters. With increased traffic, will someone stumble on an old site - might we find out whether or not Alan Shepherd's ball stayed on the fairway? Until then, revel in the possibilities (and piquant asides) provided by spaceflight's customers finally numbering more than the federal government.
