Greetings, Earthlings: Philip Johnston of Starcloud on Data Centers in Space
Philip Johnston of Starcloud argues that space will become the primary location for AI compute within a decade. He explains how plummeting launch costs, superior solar energy economics in orbit, and the physics of heat dissipation will soon make space-based data centers cheaper and more scalable than their terrestrial counterparts, predicting a future where nearly a trillion dollars in annual CapEx shifts to space.
