LONESTAR DATA CENTER FEATURED IN FAST COMPANY STORY ON AI BOOM

In an article exploring how the AI boom has unexpectedly benefited architects, reporter Nate Berg discusses how some companies are looking to outer space for data storage, highlighting the lunar data center designed by BIG for Lonestar Data Holdings. The 3D-printed payload, whose design reflects the profiles of U.S. astronauts Charlie Duke and Nicole Stott, will travel to the Moon on an upcoming NASA space mission. “As we prepare to return to the Moon to stay, it is important that everything we do these coming years of lunar settlement is done with intention and care,” says Bjarke Ingels. “Even if modest in scale, this data center is one of very few artifacts designed to remain part of the lunar landscape for years to come.”
