Lunar supercomputer?, Could a lunar supercomputer alleviate the DSN data overload? Options

[Phil Naranjo]

A USC grad student is proposing that we build a supercomputer at one of the lunar poles:

The idea is to alleviate data overload issues with NASA Deep Space Network. It's a creative idea, although his proposed time-frame is too ambitious. Also, wouldn't it be cheaper to orbit an array of spaceborne antennas (at a Lagrange point) to act as a front-end for the DSN?

As someone who has an intimate knowledge of the DSN - the idea won't fly: literally or figuratively.
The Network needs an upgrade for sure, but on the ground.
Certainly not on the Moon - it's a long enough commute for me every day already!!
