Cartwright, D-8, Moosic, said the collaboration is “the kind of thing we should be doing in Northeast Pennsylvania so we don’t fall behind the rest of the nation.” The bank building is the tallest structure in Wilkes-Barre, which makes it the “perfect anchor for a quantum space corridor” since it is “the building closest to the stars,” Cartwright said.
U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, government officials and local business owner Michael Bloxton announced a private-public partnership to develop quantum technology for use in outer space on Monday. Details of the collaboration are still being developed, Bloxton said at a news conference held at the former Luzerne Bank building, which he owns. Bloxton is the co-founder and CEO of Nebula Space Enterprises, whose announced mission is “to provide humans with access to deep space and infinite resources.” That company will work with multiple federal agencies, including the Defense and Energy departments, to explore the possibility of developing data center technologies in space. |
