Tech Titans Race to Establish Lunar Data Centers
Some of the world's richest and smartest people are planning to build data centers on the Moon.
They think it's a good place for computers because it's cold, has no air, and lots of empty space.
But there are also big challenges like radiation and high costs.
If they succeed, it could change how we connect and explore space in the future.
