Would it be possible in the future to turn the Moon into a supercomputer?
I am thinking along the lines on sending self replicating nanobots to the Moon
that start replication when on the moon and combining to form a supercomputer.
Apparently there is a lot of iron and silicon in the Moon's composition. Maybe a
theme for a science fiction novel...

You're going to need a power source for that.

what is a 24/7 sun ? (excepted for a few eclipse once every few
months; only the ones due to the earth hiding the sun)
no atmosphere to diffuse the light, every spot get light along the 28
days.

Someone is not used to the idea of a sun ;->
I am also considering taking it underground and using some form of geothermal
energy. Obviously it would need to use a lot of energy for cooling as well.
The idea would be to have it totally invisible from outside, everything should
be underground. Also, craters could be used as giant satelite dishes to
communicate with earth.

There is some controversy about it in another thread ;-)

Not much geothermal (selenothermal might be a more appropriate term)
energy present I am afraid. Contrary to Earth, the Moon does not have a
hot mantle and only a small core, partly molten.

Underground with solar panels outside?

If you could harvest the momentum between moon and earth (moon is
getting further away from earth as time goes on, meaning "moon is
acquiring more orbital speed"... hence energy), you could have some
energy for your nanobots and make the moon stays longer with the earth.
We all need a bigger moon... with more influence on the sea levels.

There is a big temperature difference between the day and night sides of
the Moon. So maybe a thermopile solution could be found.

What a silly thing to say to a Dutchman. :-P

I am trying not to use solar panels because they might be visible from
Earth. But I suppose there aren't many visitors on the other(not so
dark)side, so that might work as long as it's not visible from earth.

So if the nanobots were to convert as much of the mantle as possible
into a computer, it should get close enough to the core for
"selenothermal" energy?
