Summary
Data center entrepreneurs are exploring the possibility of launching data centers into orbit around Earth to meet the growing demand for AI compute. However, there is a shortage of rockets to support this endeavor, and the cost of launching data centers into space is prohibitively expensive. Companies are searching for alternative solutions to overcome these challenges.
Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Data center entrepreneurs are reaching for the stars to meet the growing demand for AI compute. Because, of course, the answer to expensive and scarce rockets is to just launch data centers into space. The cost and logistics of this endeavor are just minor details. It’s not like we’ve seen this kind of hubris before in the tech industry.
