Re: OT: future of a manned space exploration.
I've figured, for a while now, that a space elevator was part of the Space Yard Facility. It seems pretty necessary.

Re: OT: future of a manned space exploration.
I tried to find the original, but all I could find was a Google Cached copy. This is an article I read a while back about one company trying to commercialize the moon by storing backup data there:
http://216.239.37.104/search?q=Cache:2QflCJLJeooJ orage.ziffdavis.com/article2/0,3973,1201230,00.asp+data+storage+on+moon&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
My only concern: If I have to restore my data from the moon, don't I have more to worry about than my data?  I would think it would be more feasible to use the "four corners of the world"....  |

Re: OT: future of a manned space exploration.
Mr or Ms IT profesional. Is your backed up data really safe? Are you concerned about the impact on your remote storage facility of a catastophic disaster on a global scale? You should be. Call Luna Data Services and you can sleep better at night knowing that even if the human race is erradicated along with all organic life on earth, your company's data will be safe and your company will be ready to get back to doing business with the absolute minimum in down time.
