Betting on Climate Change on Polymarket, Opponent Turns Out to be NASA Scientist

User X @ekrii3 on Polymarket decided to bet on “Climate Change” based on NASA’s report and discovered that the opponent is a NASA scientist.

The specific content of the betting market is: “If the global land-ocean temperature index data increases by 1.05°C or more when it is released in 2023, the side that buys Yes will win; otherwise, the side that buys NO will win.” The shares purchased by this user who bet against the NASA scientist in this market are on the “NO” side.

Later, someone in the comments posted a tweet from this scientist saying, “Check out her account.”

ekri replied, “Already following her.”

Speaking of NASA, a recent news about it has attracted wide attention from the crypto community.

NASA’s Artemis Program, True Crypto to the Moon

According to BBC Science Focus magazine, NASA plans to send a batch of data to the moon next year to test the possibility of backup storage at lunar bases in response to threats to Earth’s data security.

This mission is part of the Artemis program. NASA’s partners include Lonestar, a computational startup in Florida, and the autonomous British Crown Dependency of the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea.

Both parties hope to use blockchain technology to ensure data security, prevent tampering, and prove that the information in the archives is authentic. This will be the first time blockchain technology is used on the moon.

The test mission is scheduled to launch from the United States in February 2024. Future data centers may store more sensitive national data, including any cultural information and financial records related to human health, such as genomic data used for drug research.

Kurt Roosen, Head of Innovation at Digital Isle of Man, said in an interview with BBC Science Focus, “This is indeed an interesting challenge, not only for us but also for NASA.”

But you may ask, why do we need a lunar data center? Well, it’s not used to store extra photos when you run out of storage space on your phone. This mission aims to protect humanity’s most important discoveries and creations from the impact of Earth disasters.
