I mean, yeah, you could do that.

I'm not sure if it would be better than a secret underground base... But you could do it.

With an underground base you could even have the one connection to it be a hard-line, not wireless. You could construct it with a smaller crew, easier to keep under wraps. And I expect that would still be less than 1/100th the price of building it on the moon.

Anyway, I do think the ultimate off site data storage location is a pretty entertaining idea, i'd bet it could make sense for some things, I just can't imagine what.
