That’s a thought actually - maybe more for the moon, but also for Mars. With no/little atmosphere, wouldn’t there be an issue with radiating heat away from computers etc in a future base?
I’m an interested non-expert, so this may be a dumb question 😁

Not a dumb question at all. There are a few startups pursuing in-space computing, and many of them seem to hand-wave away the thermal regulation challenges. I suppose geothermal (selenothermal?) could be possible on the moon, but I’m not sure it would be worth the effort.
Is it because they found water for their datacenters?

So, pumping heat into the rocks? Yeah, that seems like it’d be quite a challenge! Thanks 👍
