Backup Data on the Moon?: Doesn’t the moon get pounded by meteorites quite often?

“Locate backup data on the moon? Now that sounds like a rock-solid business model. However strange the idea may sound, TransOrbital of La Jolla, California is taking it and other proposals for marrying high-tech and the Earth’s only natural satellite seriously. The company is getting ready to send a commercial mission to the moon and intends to send servers, data, handheld computers, and digital cameras along for the ride.”
