Blockchain Tech Confirms Historic Moon Landings

In February 2024, NASA and its partners Lonestar, a Florida computing company, and the Isle of Man will dispatch a Moon mission with “data cubes.”

Using blockchain, the data in these containers will be validated on Earth.

In 2025, when NASA launches Artemis 3, its second crewed mission, blockchain technology will conclusively demonstrate that humans landed on the Moon.

Artemis 2 will launch in November 2024, resuming the Artemis mission at NASA. Four astronauts will depart Earth, orbit the Moon, and return to Earth on that crewed mission.

Artemis 2 is anticipated to be the final test mission before the United States deposits humans on the Moon with Artemis 3.

As part of the numerous scientific missions of the Artemis missions, Lonestar and the Isle of Man are constructing infrastructure-free, solar-powered lunar storage devices.

According to the BBC’s Science Focus, the test will produce “digital franking” digital signatures for storage in the Moon’s data cubes.

After installation, the data will be verified via blockchain to ensure its completeness and integrity.

Due to the immutability of blockchain, future Moon travelers could use data containers to check in.

The blockchain could authenticate the astronauts’ interaction, ostensibly debunking Moon landing conspiracy theories.

The chief of innovation at Digital Isle of Man told Science Focus that NASA found it “unexpectedly challenging” to deny that it conducted six crewed moon landings between 1969 and 1972.

Even if conspiracy theorists continue to believe in the lunar landings of the 20th century, the blockchain should serve as an irrefutable record for the next people to appear on the moon.
