The dark side of the Moon could potentially be the perfect location for building powerful cryogenic facilities in the future. Hypothetically speaking (since transportation costs would currently be astronomical), this could make sense as an alternative to cooling cryonics patients on Earth. The dark side of the Moon maintains a temperature of around -173°C, with far more thermal stability due to the absence of an atmosphere. It’s also isolated from Earth’s pollutants, and with only 1/6 of Earth’s gravity, tasks like transport and storage would become more efficient.

However, a major issue would be the lack of energy. Solar energy would need to be transported from the Sun-facing side, but nuclear reactors could offer a better solution for powering these cryogenic operations.

In the future, the dark side of the Moon might become a useful resource for us all, as we could see developments in cryonics that might allow for the freezing of individuals in such a place. Perhaps, in the future, the owner of ThePolak will be able to afford to be cryogenically preserved there.

There’s no dark side of the Moon.

There are some craters in polar areas with a permanent shadow inside.
