Google inks historic US deal to buy Gen IV nuclear power for data centers | Neetika Walter Kairos Power’s Hermes 2 reactor will deliver 50 MW of carbon-free power by 2030, with TVA channeling the energy to Google’s data centers. Google has announced the first power purchase agreement (PPA) between a U.S. utility and an advanced nuclear developer. Through the deal, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will buy electricity from Kairos Power’s Hermes 2 demonstration plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The 50-megawatt reactor is expected to begin operations in 2030, sending power to TVA’s grid and supporting Google’s data centers in Tennessee and Alabama. One-of-a-kind milestone This marks the first time a U.S. utility has committed to purchasing electricity from a Generation IV nuclear plant. For Google, it represents an early step in a longer-term collaboration with Kairos Power to unlock as much as 500 megawatts of nuclear capacity over the next decade. The Hermes 2 project also carries symbolic weight, reviving Oak Ridge’s historic role as a hub for nuclear innovation. Google has steadily expanded its presence in the Tennessee Valley over the past decade and has worked closely with TVA to add clean energy to the region. With artificial intelligence workloads and cloud services driving demand for reliable electricity, the company is now betting on advanced nuclear as part of its strategy to secure 24/7 carbon-free energy. The U.S. grid is under growing strain as AI, electrification, and population growth push power demand to new highs. Traditional sources of clean power, such as wind and solar, cannot always deliver around the clock, while large nuclear plants face long timelines and high costs. Small and modular nuclear reactors offer a potential solution, providing carbon-free capacity with more flexibility. Trump push gives nuclear fresh momentum The move comes as the Trump administration has accelerated support for advanced nuclear. In May, the White House signed executive orders to streamline licensing for micro-reactors and small modular reactors, to triple or even quadruple U.S. nuclear output by mid-century. Federal agencies have also launched pilot projects to test more than a dozen small reactors, many on federal land to avoid permitting delays. These steps have helped renew investor interest in nuclear technology and created room for private-sector deals like Google’s. Energy startups such as Oklo have seen their shares climb after securing government partnerships, underscoring the link between policy reform and commercial appetite. Google’s nuclear partnership reflects this broader momentum. The deal highlights how next-generation technologies can find a pathway to market by combining utility-scale, regulatory support, and private-sector demand. For Oak Ridge, the project could deliver economic benefits alongside energy breakthroughs. Kairos Power plans to train a new generation of nuclear workers in partnership with the University of Tennessee and other institutions. The Hermes 2 plant will also anchor efforts to re-establish the city as a center of nuclear innovation. In signing on to the project, Google is not only securing clean power for its data centers but also helping to push advanced nuclear toward commercial reality. Read more:

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1.⁠ Trump repeated his calls for Fed chair Jerome Powell to step down: “I don't know that he's going to, but he should. Jerome Powell's been very bad for our country. We should have the lowest interest rate on Earth, and we don’t.” 2.⁠ Ghislaine Maxwell, the woman who helped Jeffrey Epstein traffic underage girls, said she’s ready to spill secrets to Congress. Her words? She’d “welcome the chance” to tell the truth about Epstein’s rich and powerful buddies after the DOJ said there was no client list. 3.⁠ Trump’s envoy Keith Kellogg is in Ukraine to talk defense, weapons, and sanctions - as Trump prepares to unveil a bold new plan to arm Kyiv. Sources say it includes offensive weapons - a major shift from Trump’s past “defensive only” stance. 4.⁠ The astronauts from Axiom Space undocked from the International Space Station and begin their return journey to Earth in a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. 5.⁠ Australia launched its largest military drill in history: Talisman Sabre 2025. Over 35,000 troops from 19 nations are training across land, sea, and air, with live fire, amphibious landings, and new strike weapons in the mix as they prepare for a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan. 6.⁠ Following months of mass deportations and ICE raids, Team Trump has hit pause. The White House is now fast-tracking visas for migrant workers through a new Office of Immigration Policy, after farmers and hotel owners begged for mercy over losing their labor force. 7.⁠ After losing the Dem primary to democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo isn’t backing down. Now he’s going rogue and running for NYC mayor as an independent. 8.⁠ Thailand might slash import taxes on more U.S goods in hopes of avoiding Trump’s looming 35% tariff. Talks are in motion as Thailand joins the growing global club of countries trying not to get roasted by Trump’s trade threats. 9.⁠ China rolled out Tongji, an 82-meter “research vessel” with autonomous navigation, air-sea-underwater comms, and modular labs for...marine biology, obviously. Officially, it’s a floating university. Unofficially? Let’s just say it can talk to drones, submarines, and underwater robots at the same time. 10.⁠ Stanford researchers tested therapy chatbots and found they can be…pretty bad at therapy. Instead of helping, some bots stigmatized people with conditions like schizophrenia and alcohol dependence while treating depression way more gently.

Mark Carney, the unelected banker-turned-savior of the Liberal Party, stood on a stage at Durham College on April 19 and did what professional economic grifters do best—he smiled politely, gestured at some numbers, and attempted to sell Canadians on a $130 billion illusion. He called it a “costed platform.” What it really was, was a pitch deck for national decline—a warmed-over slab of recycled Trudeauism, backed by deficit delusion and framed as “bold leadership.” And yes, the numbers are real. Terrifyingly real. The Liberal platform promises $130 billion in new spending over four years, while running deficits of $62.3 billion this year, $59.9 billion next year, and still sitting at $48 billion in the red by 2028. To balance all of this out? A magical $28 billion in “unspecified cuts.” Not outlined. Not itemized. Just floated in the air like a promise from a door-to-door vacuum salesman. Carney, in his perfectly rehearsed banker tone, assures us it’s not spending. No, it’s “investment.” Which is hilarious, because that’s exactly what Justin Trudeau said when he kicked off a decade of reckless spending, capital flight, and housing inflation. Carney has simply pulled off the Liberal magic trick of rebranding debt as growth. But this isn’t just fiscal mismanagement. This is coordinated, high-level dishonesty. Let’s be clear: Mark Carney is not new to any of this. He isn’t some white knight riding in to clean up Trudeau’s mess. He is the mess. He was Trudeau’s economic consigliere. He sat in the backrooms when they passed Bill C-69, which throttled Canada’s energy sector. He championed ESG, oversaw the implosion of GFANZ (his climate finance alliance), and helped drive $500 billion in investment out of this country. Now he’s back—wearing a new title, making the same promises, using the same playbook. Only this time, he’s brought a spreadsheet. In one breath, Carney says we need to “diversify trade.” In the next, he’s counting on $20 billion in one-time countertariff revenues to prop up his platform. In one paragraph, he says Canada will be “fiscally responsible.” In the next, he admits the deficit will nearly double this year. He claims he’ll spend 2% of GDP on defense—but not until 2029, because, of course, there’s no urgency when you’re protected by the American military umbrella you secretly resent. And his housing plan? If you thought things couldn’t get worse than Justin Trudeau’s housing disaster, buckle up. Carney’s solution is modular housing—yes, government-subsidized, prefabricated micro-boxes dropped onto federally controlled land. Mark Carney will never live in modular housing. His children will never live in modular housing. But for you, the taxpayer? That’s the future he envisions—managed housing, managed economy, managed speech, managed life. He’s not here to lift Canadians up. He’s here to lock them down—into a permanent, bureaucratically engineered middle class, dependent on state subsidies and grateful for whatever dignity Ottawa hasn’t yet taxed away. And when asked how he’ll find the $28 billion in cuts needed to make this plan remotely plausible, his answer was priceless: “Technology, attrition, and a review of consultant contracts.” Translation: “We don’t know.” And here’s where the grift goes full throttle—the accounting scam. Carney is trying to redefine the deficit by splitting it into two categories: “operating” and “capital”—a little trick borrowed from UK public finance to confuse voters and dodge political accountability. It’s not something Canada has ever used in federal budget reporting, and there’s a reason for that: it’s misleading by design. Here’s how it works: Carney claims that by 2028, the government will run an “operating surplus.” Sounds responsible, right? Like the books are balanced? Wrong. Because even while he’s claiming an “operating surplus,” the federal government will still be running a $48 billion deficit overall. That’s real debt—borrowed money the country doesn’t have. So how does he square the circle? Simple: he relabels infrastructure and program spending as “capital investment”, pushes it off to the side, and tells you the main budget is in good shape. But guess what? You still owe the money. The debt still grows. And interest payments still stack up. It’s like maxing out your credit card, then saying “no problem—I only overspent on long-term purchases, not day-to-day expenses.” Try that line with your bank. Let me know how it goes. This isn’t honest budgeting. It’s spreadsheet manipulation by a guy who knows how to massage the optics while the house burns down. And let’s not forget who we’re talking about here. This is the man who moved his financial headquarters to New York while lecturing Canadians about economic sovereignty. This is the guy with a Cayman Islands tax haven, who built his fortune offshore and now wants to manage your budget while shielding his own. This is the architect of GFANZ—the so-called climate finance alliance—that imploded under his leadership. The same alliance that saw JPMorgan, Citigroup, and the Big Six Canadian banks bail because Carney couldn’t keep the cartel together without running afoul of antitrust laws. This is the same man mentioned in Marco Mendicino’s Emergencies Act texts—the man who said, Move the tanks on the protesters. That’s right. He wasn’t calling for dialogue. He wasn’t calling for democracy. He was calling for force—on peaceful Canadians exercising their rights. That’s who this is. A man who smiles like a diplomat and governs like a tyrant. So let’s drop the fantasy. Mark Carney isn’t here to save you. He’s not here to build a country. He’s not here to restore prosperity. He’s here to finish what Justin Trudeau started—with less flair and even less accountability. This election is your moment. Not just to vote against failed leadership—but to vote for something better. Vote for Canadian workers. Vote for Canadian resources. Vote for Canadian sovereignty. Vote Canada First.

Today marks the most significant milestone in NordSpace's history. We have been awarded $8.3 million in Phase 1 grant funding and selected as a winner of Canada’s Department of National Defence's Launch the North IDEaS challenge, toward the development of our Tundra orbital launch vehicle. Launch the North represents Canada’s most significant investment in sovereign space launch. As a part of the government’s $182.6 million investment in sovereign space launch, DND and CAF aim to secure Canada's strategic autonomy in space, reduce dependence on foreign launch providers, and position Canada as a global leader in commercial and defence-oriented space launch. Canada's moment has arrived. What distinguishes NordSpace is the depth of its vertical integration. We design and manufacture our own engines and vehicles, develop and operate our own spaceport, build and fly our own satellites, and invest in the broader Canadian space ecosystem. This end-to-end architecture stands unique in Canada, inspired by industry leaders such as SpaceX and Rocket Lab, and constitutes the foundational infrastructure upon which a durable, truly sovereign Canadian space industry can be built. At the centre of our architecture is Tundra, powered by our in-house designed and manufactured 3D printed Hadfield engines and capable of delivering 500+ kg to LEO and 350+ kg to SSO. In its Tundra+ configuration, this grows to 1,100 kg to LEO and 850 kg to SSO, with a direct scaling path to our Titan medium-lift vehicle targeting 5,000+ kg to LEO. A proven modular 3D printed engine architecture reduces development time and risk while ensuring Canada's sovereign launch capability grows in step with national defence, commercial, and allied demand over the coming decade. Our Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX) in Newfoundland and Labrador is the only purpose-built commercial orbital launch facility in Canada and one of the most strategically advantaged launch sites in the western hemisphere. The ASX supports launch inclinations of 44 to 105 degrees over the Atlantic Ocean, the widest range available from any Canadian site. It also offers the largest safety distances of any spaceport in Canada and highest approved launch cadence, lending to our medium-lift future. The ASX received its landmark environmental approval from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and is already under rapid construction with its first launch planned this spring of our Taiga rocket. This award will ultimately lead to the creation of 134 direct jobs by 2028, growing to 650+ by 2032, with 1,600+ indirect and induced jobs across Canada's industrial base as we scale to medium-lift. We rely on a wide ecosystem of Canadian partners including Magellan Aerospace, Kongsberg Geospatial, C-CORE, and Indigenous-led suppliers across the country.

Futuristic dome grows food by itself – with help from some fish | Bronwyn Thompson, New Atlas Inspired by the humble old greenhouse, a futuristic self-contained food ecosystem was recently on display at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai in Japan, offering us a glimpse at a how we might one day have "farm to table" on our apartment block rooftops or in small urban spaces. Think of it as a tiny house of produce. Known as “Inochi no Izumi” (いのちの湧水), or "Source of Life," the dome became one of the standout pieces of ingenuity on show at the Osaka Health Pavilion on Yumeshima Island. The 6.4-m-high (21-ft), 7-m-diameter (23-ft) dome, built to symbolize the Earth, sits atop a base containing four different water zones that provide the living engine of this closed-loop ecoystem. The dome itself has a surface area of 128 sq m (1,378 sq ft), made up of transparent ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) panels for the outer skin, supported by VikingDome's T-STAR system of 245 steel structural bars, connected with 76 joins on the sphere and 10 on the base. The entire unit, with materials transported to the site in three pallets, weighs a massive 2,111 kg (4,655 lb). The dome itself is designed to maximize sunlight and maintain a stable internal climate – but the real innovation is found inside it. A horizontally divided aquatic base supports four vertically stacked plant layers. Rather than a conventional floor-by-floor layout, the dome houses a kind of ecological cross-section, where different salinity zones and their matching crops work together in a regulated loop. At the base are four compartments housing seawater, brackish water and two freshwater tanks. Each supports aquatic species adapted to those conditions, from marine fish and shellfish to carp-like freshwater species. These animals form the starting point of the nutrient cycle crucial for the life above. As they excrete ammonia-rich waste, specialized microbes convert it first into nitrites and then into plant-usable nitrates. Directly above the tanks, four matching bands of hydroponic growing beds rise in a tiered column. Salt-tolerant plants, such as halophytes, grow above the seawater tank, thriving on nutrient-rich water that would kill conventional vegetables. Sea grapes grow in the water, while sea purslane and sea asparagus grow above the tank housed with red seabream, black porgy, red-spotted grouper and Malabar grouper. Then, semi-salt-tolerant vegetables plants like tomato sit above the brackish-water zone, which houses Japanese pufferfish and ornamental carp. Above one of the freshwater systems are “functional vegetables” – greens like herbs and lettuces with concentrated nutrients that do particularly well in controlled hydroponic conditions. Their water comes from the tank occupied by sturgeon. The beds can also be rotated horizontally via a built-in motor. At the very top, on the fourth tier, are rows of edible flowers including nasturtium, bougainvillea and marigold. Water from each tank is pumped upward to irrigate its corresponding plant zone. As the plants remove nitrogen compounds and other nutrients, the purified water flows back into each aquatic zone below. As such, the system produces next to no waste – a cyclic ecosystem modeled on nature (like wetlands cycling, for example) but optimized for human food production. Developed in collaboration with Osaka Metropolitan University’s Plant Factory R&D Center and the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, the system demonstrates how future cities could grow food in such compact, resource-efficient ecosystems. It also highlights a different kind of biodiversity – that of agriculture. The broader the range of usable plant and aquatic species, the more resilient – and self-sufficient – the system becomes. While the Source of Life was indeed an exhibition, so there are some practical questions about the fish housed in the tanks at the base, it nonetheless demonstrated how natural recycling can help to produce food and reduce waste, and it's not a stretch to imagine this modular aquaponics system becoming a reality on rooftops, in dense urban areas or in land-poor regions where farming is limited. In disaster-prone areas, closed-loop systems like this could offer stable, decentralized food production independent of soil quality or access to large supplies of water. It's also a clever look at how sustainable agriculture doesn’t always require new technologies so much as a deeper understanding of ecology – something that's often lost in agribusiness and large-scale commercial farming. As we look for low-emission, sustainable ways to feed growing urban populations, this dome proposes that one answer may lie in us better harnessing the power of nature. Read more:

Mark Carney touched down in Victoria this week to unveil what the Liberal press calls a “bold” vision for Canada’s economy. But what Canadians actually got was a highly choreographed lecture—long on buzzwords, short on substance—from a man who’s spent more time in central bank boardrooms than in any place real Canadians live. He talked about housing, forestry, and tariffs, but what he was really selling was more Ottawa, more control, and more of the same Liberal rot that’s been strangling this country for the last decade. Carney stood in front of a prefab timber facility—symbolism so on-the-nose it could’ve come from a PMO PowerPoint—and made his pitch. To his right stood Jill McKnight. To his left? None other than Gregor Robertson, the man who helped transform Vancouver into the most unaffordable housing market on Earth. That’s the braintrust. That’s who’s going to solve the housing crisis now. The same people who created it. Carney wants to create a federal housing authority—Build Canada Homes—a $25 billion bureaucracy to build modular, mass timber housing across the country. He calls it “ambitious.” What it is, is a central planner’s fantasy. We’ve heard it before. Big public fund. Big promises. Bigger disaster. It ends the same every time: with consultants billing millions while shovels collect dust. While pitching his timber-driven housing revival, Carney took a jab at Pierre Poilievre—mocking his calls to cut taxes and red tape as “slogans.” As if letting Canadians keep more of their own money is beneath him. As if streamlining regulation is some unserious gimmick, instead of the only way to get anything built in this country. But here’s the joke: while Carney was sneering about tax cuts, the Liberal government quietly dropped the carbon tax on home heating to zero. The very tax they claimed was essential to saving the planet. The one they dragged provinces through court over. Now it’s gone—temporarily, politically—because they’re tanking in the polls. Not repealed. Not reformed. Just dialed down to win votes. And don’t worry, the industrial carbon tax? That’s still in place. That gets passed down to consumers in the form of higher prices on everything from fuel to food. Carney calls that “the better model.” When it came time to defend past comments about Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, which he made during a fundraiser in Richmond last week—where he mocked the idea of sending Smith to negotiate with the U.S.—Carney brushed it off as “light-hearted.” As if belittling provinces fighting for their industries is all in good fun. As if economic decline is a joke. It would be funny if it weren’t so offensive. Alberta’s energy industry is on the line. Ontario’s manufacturing base is under siege. And this guy, who’s never run a province or balanced a budget outside of a spreadsheet, is cracking jokes like it’s a Netflix roast. And while the press didn’t push him on it in Victoria, Carney’s already gone on the record at another recent presser to say he won’t repeal Bill C-69—the single most destructive piece of legislation to Canada’s energy and infrastructure development. He says it’s the “right framework.” That’s all you need to know. He wants to unlock forestry, speed up housing, and expand construction—but he won’t touch the laws that actively prevent all of that. Carney says he wants to work with provinces. What he means is make them ask for permission. He says he wants to partner with industry. What he means is tax them, regulate them, and funnel the profits to climate consultants and think tanks in Ottawa. And as for being a new face? He’s surrounded by the same crew. Chrystia Freeland’s economic advisors. Marco Mendicino—the same guy who misled Parliament on national security. And Trudeau? He’s still in the background, backing this banker in a fresh suit to keep the Liberal regime on life support. Carney says this country needs leadership. What it needs is a clean break. He says he wants to bring people together. What he means is bring them to heel. The housing crisis. The affordability crisis. The productivity collapse. These weren’t accidents. These were decisions—made by the same machine that now wants you to believe its latest frontman is the solution. The Liberals burned the house down. Now they want your vote to hold the hose. If you can’t afford a home, if your energy bill is unbearable, if your job is gone—it’s because of the people still standing behind Mark Carney. If you vote Liberal, you’re not voting for change. You’re voting for decay. You’re voting to reward failure. Don’t fall for it. Vote blue. And let’s bring it home.

In a newly released technical update, SpaceX's leadership team, which includes communications manager Dan Huot, Director of Satellite Engineering Ian Dahl, and CEO Elon Musk, detailed a highly ambitious infrastructure roadmap to design, manufacture, and operate specialized artificial intelligence computing satellites at scale. Positioned as a major strategic pillar to dramatically elevate civilizational energy and processing capacity on the Kardashev scale, this strategy moves past traditional communications architectures into massive orbital server arrays. Here is the complete breakdown of the core technologies and timelines driving this space-based intelligence revolution: 🛰️ AI1 satellite power and compute capacity Ian Dahl and Elon Musk introduced the baseline performance targets for the first-generation AI1 satellite, explaining how its custom hardware is engineered to operate like an orbital data center server rack. Ian Dahl noted that their direct operational experience with xAI guided them to target a 150-kilowatt peak power capacity. To manage active machine learning workloads continuously, Elon Musk explained that the satellite is optimized to maintain a sustained average compute power envelope of 120 kilowatts, which directly mirrors the real-world performance of a terrestrial NVIDIA server rack. The official presentation slides outline several key operational metrics for this payload configuration: ⚡ The custom architecture delivers a 150 kW peak compute payload. 🔋 The system maintains a 120 kW sustained average compute payload under active workloads. ⚖️ The hardware achieves a highly optimized power-to-weight density of 70 kW per ton. 🔄 The layout features a completely interchangeable compute provider design. "We thought that the right place to start is around the 150 kilowatt peak power level. But as we look at the workloads with our experience with xAI, we see that we can support about 120 kilowatts of average compute. The 150 kilowatt peak power level roughly matches what, say, an NVIDIA GV300 rack would do. A more reasonable operating envelope would be around 120 kilowatts average power, but it can peak up to 150. So it is basically thinking about it as a rack of compute in space." --- 📐 AI1 satellite dimensions and thermal efficiency specs Elon Musk detailed the physical layout of the AI1 satellite, highlighting the massive dimensions required to accommodate its immense power and cooling hardware. He shared specific design criteria, explaining that the engineering relies on a custom 150 kW solar array paired with a high-capacity deployable liquid radiator thermal management system. The technical specifications of this vehicle layout include: 📏 The structural frame features a massive 70-meter wingspan. ↕️ The vehicle spans a total deployed height of 20 meters. ☀️ The onboard solar array delivers an efficiency of 250 W/m² using technology manufactured in Bastrop, Texas. 🌡️ The thermal system utilizes a 110 m² deployable liquid radiator to cleanly dump waste heat. 🔄 The cooling architecture incorporates redundant pumping loops for mission safety. 🛡️ The exterior contains integrated micrometeoroid shielding to protect the fluid lines. 🧭 The double-sided radiators achieve a dissipation rate of 1400 watts per square meter while remaining oriented knife-edge to the sun. "The assumptions here are 250 watts per square meter for the solar array and about 1400 watts per square meter for the radiators. The radiators are double-sided, radiating on both sides, and they're oriented knife-edge to the sun. They have about a 70-meter wingspan, so these are fairly large." --- 🧩 Simplified design architecture built on Starlink V3 tech Elon Musk explained that despite the satellite's imposing size, its internal architecture is fundamentally much simpler than a standard Starlink satellite. Because it lacks heavy phased array and parabolic communications antennas, the entire vehicle layout is completely streamlined around a few essential structural modules: 🎛️ The hardware framework is arranged around a centralized compute module. ☀️ Large deployable solar arrays extend outward to capture orbital energy. 🌡️ A deployable liquid-radiator thermal management system controls active operational temperatures. 🔄 The engineering team heavily leverages the component evolution and manufacturing experience gained from developing the Starlink V3 vehicle platform. "The AI satellite is actually much simpler than a Starlink satellite. A Starlink satellite has gigantic phased array antennas, parabolic antennas, and a lot of laser links, making it much more complicated. An AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. A lot of this is technology we've already made for the Starlink V3 satellites." --- 🔌 Interchangeable compute reference designs and high connectivity Elon Musk outlined a modular hardware approach for the satellite's payload, allowing it to house a variety of industry-standard processing units depending on client requirements. This interchangeable compute rack is supported by a high-bandwidth connectivity loop that links separate orbital units together or transmits data directly back to Earth. The core network parameters include: 🧠 Reference designs are fully established to seamlessly accommodate NVIDIA Reuben chips. 💾 The system architecture is built to support alternative setups using NVIDIA GB300 chips. 💻 Custom hardware layouts are explicitly designed to integrate Google TPUs. 🌐 The onboard communications setup delivers roughly 1 terabit of laser link connectivity. ⏱️ The network closes the communication loop directly with the main Starlink constellation at an ultra-low latency of only 3 milliseconds. "Our current reference design is for NVIDIA Reuben chips, or it could be either GB300 or Reuben chips. We'll also have a reference design for TPUs. Essentially, you can put up any existing chips into orbit. There would also be probably something on the order of a terabit of laser link connectivity from the satellite. Then you can connect these racks of compute to each other by the laser links or directly to the Starlink constellations. Light travels 300 kilometers per millisecond, so that's about three milliseconds away." --- 🏭 The "gigasat" AI satellite and solar production hub in Bastrop, Texas Dan Huot highlighted that the primary production hub for this entire hardware ecosystem is anchored at their sprawling complex in Bastrop, Texas, officially designated as the Gigasat factory. Elon Musk verified that construction is already actively underway on the solar manufacturing facility to feed the project's supply line, with plans moving forward to construct the adjacent AI satellite assembly lines. The physical footprint and timeline of this manufacturing hub are defined by the following benchmarks: 🗺️ The company has over 1,000 acres of land currently owned or under contract for the site. 🏢 The manufacturing complex boasts a massive structural building potential exceeding 11 million square feet. ⚙️ The facility will vertically integrate production to manufacture solar ingots, wafers, solar cells, and completed AI satellites. 📅 Both the solar and AI satellite production lines are targeted to be operational at a viable volume by the end of next year. "We're going to be building a lot of satellites and we're going to be building them here in Bastrop. We already have the solar manufacturing facility under construction, and then we will be building out the AI sat production building soon. We expect to have the AI sat production, the solar production, and all of that operating at some reasonable volume by the end of next year." --- 🏢 The 100-million-square-foot "terafab" chip factory Elon Musk revealed a massive, long-term scaling strategy to build an immense chip manufacturing facility dubbed the "terafab" to completely bypass global semiconductor volume constraints. This manufacturing infrastructure is designed to transition the company into next-generation industrial scaling by producing highly specialized computing components at an unprecedented volume. The scale of this infrastructure project is defined by several extraordinary engineering and production benchmarks: 🏭 The colossal factory is projected to span approximately 100 million square feet, making it ten times larger than the current Tesla Gigafactory Texas. ⚡ The facility is structurally engineered to achieve a massive manufacturing output of 1 terawatt per year once fully operational. 📦 This unprecedented physical footprint provides the capacity required to manufacture 1 billion full-reticle equivalent chips annually. 🔌 Each individual chip manufactured by the facility is designed to run at a power capacity of 1 kilowatt. 🇺🇸 The total scaled output of the facility represents an energy footprint that is exactly double the current annual electricity consumption of the entire United States. "In order to get to the next order of magnitude, you need a gigantic chip factory. To give you a sense of scale here, we expect that the terafab is going to be around 100 million square feet, which is 10 times the size of the Tesla Gigafactory Texas. From a logic die standpoint, that's like having a billion chips per year with a kilowatt per reticle, scaling to a terawatt per year. That is twice the current electricity consumption of the United States." --- 📶 Next-generation high-volume Starlink terminals Dan Huot and Elon Musk introduced their next-generation Starlink user terminals, which have been redesigned specifically to achieve massive manufacturing throughput. Elon Musk pointed out that these newer models will be produced in vastly higher volumes than current hardware designs to fulfill their long-term global deployment targets: 📈 The upgraded user hardware is manufactured at a much higher volume capacity than existing units. 🌍 The company's ultimate target is to successfully deploy a few hundred million of these next-generation terminals worldwide. "In fact, these are the new Starlink terminals, which we made in much higher volume than the current terminals. Ultimately, we think there's probably going to be a few hundred million Starlink terminals out there." --- 📈 Aspirational timeline for orbital AI compute scaling Elon Musk laid out an ambitious, multi-year execution timeline detailing how the company plans to progressively scale space-based processing power. The roadmap targets an initial run-rate by the end of next year and sets an aggressive pace to increase total operational capacity sequentially through a structured, multi-phase timeline: 1️⃣ The initial target aims to hit an annualized run-rate of 1 gigawatt of space AI compute by the end of next year. 2️⃣ The capacity scales to an annualized rate of 10 gigawatts within the next two and a half years. 3️⃣ The operational envelope expands to reach 100 gigawatts in three and a half years. 4️⃣ The long-term deployment plan scales directly to a full terawatt capacity per year using the output of the terafab. "The goal is to get to roughly an annualized rate of a gigawatt per year by the end of next year in terms of space AI compute. Then aspirationally, we want to scale that by an order of magnitude per year. In two and a half years, hitting an annualized rate of 10 gigawatts a year in space, and in three and a half years, maybe a hundred gigawatts, going beyond that with the terafab to scale to a terawatt per year." --- 🌕 Ultimate scaling via lunar production and mass drivers Elon Musk explained that scaling three orders of magnitude past a single terawatt forces a transition completely off-planet to avoid the logistical penalty of Earth's deep gravity well. The vision relies on establishing manufacturing infrastructure directly on the moon to leverage localized resource loops and zero-atmosphere physics: 🌙 The company plans to establish localized raw production lines on the moon to fabricate solar panels, photovoltaics, and radiators from lunar materials. ⚡ Manufacturing components locally avoids the massive fuel and mass penalties of transporting heavy structural materials from Earth. 🧲 Because the moon has no atmosphere and only one-sixth of Earth's gravity, the facility will utilize an electromagnetic mass driver to launch completed satellites. 🚀 Operating essentially as a linear electric motor rail gun, this mechanism will shoot fully assembled AI satellites straight into deep space without relying on chemical rockets. "The only way that we can really see that you can achieve that is on the moon with a mass driver, essentially where you do local production of photovoltaics, solar panels, and radiators on the moon. Because the moon has no atmosphere and only one-sixth Earth's gravity, you can accelerate the AI satellites into deep space without a rocket. You can basically shoot them into space using an electromagnetic gun, like a rail gun type—it's basically a linear electric motor."
