In this week’s episode of Space Minds David Ariosto sits down with Chris Stott, Chair and CEO of Lonestar Data Holdings who explains how lunar storage could be humanity’s best defense against a digital catastrophe.
The discussions delves into the company’s efforts to establish data infrastructure beyond Earth, including the deployment of early-stage hardware and software in lunar orbit. Our conversation with Stott examines the challenges and implications of creating off-world data centers, and considers how such developments could serve both terrestrial markets and long-term space exploration goals.
Stott discusses the strategic and technical motivations behind the missions, including latency, security, and geopolitical competition—highlighting parallels with terrestrial data vulnerabilities and the growing scale of global data production. The episode also delves into the broader context of lunar development, the role of commercial space actors, and the evolving dynamics of global space policy.
