Water would boil on the moon, any ice would sublimate. You would be better off just compacting the regolith.

The regolith is 0.004W/m2K. Less than aerogel. Less than an open vacuum! Ouch! Although the regolith is only 4-5 meters thick, so you could probably just go under it and see what the subsurface is like with regards to conductivity.

Geological activity is usually a problem for geothermal cooling. Conductivity of lunar subsurface is your main problem. Generally what makes geothermal really effective is the monstrous thermal mass of solid and liquid material compared to

Heat pumps are typically 200-400% efficient. That is, they move 2-4x as much heat as they produce to move that heat. Although that is usually radiating energy to a fairly warm atmosphere. If they are pumping into an extremely cold environme

This reminds me of a comment I saw once. AI was supposed to automate the boring stuff we don't like to do every day so we could enjoy a life of leisure, art and music. Instead it's just automating the art and music.

> It won't stay -21C for very long, if you pump heat into it. You are right, and also it would require digging which is a lot harder than laying out panels on the surface. Back of the napkin it's a tossup depending on the condu

Thank you for the correction. Shows my geocentric thinking.

A 1 meter square heat exchanger in a vacuum at 20C will emit about 1 kilowatt at -173C. So about as much as a small space heater per small panel. So a 1 megawatt datacenter would need about 300,000m^2 or 0.3 km^2 of surface area to cool it.

The newer VR headsets with eye tracking are a lot more forgiving graphics card wise. My 4060 handles VR just fine. Most games I play are sitting down as well. I'm not a huge fan of walking around blindfolded!

Yeah, frame drops hurt my brain a little. What's funny is that I'm totally fine in VR after using it for a few months for flight sims. Although, after the initial novelty wears off I just prefer head tracking and a flat screen now
