NOT DATA CENTERS IN SPACE — RACKS IN SPACE “It's probably better to say racks in space simply because it's a whole constellation of satellites… largely the same satellite bus… putting more solar, putting a radiator on it, and putting compute chips instead of communications chips. We've already flown...

Countries spent decades competing to host infrastructure. Soon, the most valuable infrastructure may not need a country at all. We spent decades putting the world online. Now we may start putting the internet off-world.

racks in space is the most web3 phrase i've heard all year

I wish these people who are running their mouths nonstop about the concept of "Datacenters in space" would come to the operations and make this physically happen. There is metal to be welded and all the construction space in between to final product.

Same bus, more solar, a radiator, and compute chips instead of comms chips. I love how simple the pitch is. With launch largely solved, orbital compute is the logical next step. Exciting times! 🛰️✨

Exciting to hear how satellite technology is evolving! The future of space computing sounds promising.

The next step is realizing that there is no size limit at all to space construction. There is only so much that can be put into a single starship launch at a time but once it becomes advantageous to have something bigger than a single starship cargohold there is no reason for them to not start connecting all those launches together into something bigger. Starlink is limited to a single satellite at a time because low orbit construction is rather impractical. But once we get to deep space the only limit is how functional it is. Imagine if we combined a 100 or a 1000 starship launches into a single construction object. Let's Voltron these MFers into a giant megazord AI datacenter center.

In our last conversation, Gavin said data centers in space will be the most important thing in 3-4 years. He explains that means "racks in space" and thinks orbital compute will solve the watts shortage: "When people hear data centers in space, they picture a Pentagon-sized building in space. That's not what it is. A Blackwell rack weighs 3,000 pounds. It's eight feet high. Four feet deep. Three feet wide. It's racks in space. It has these solar wings that are probably 500 feet long on each side. You keep it in a Sun-synchronous orbit, so those solar panels are always in the sun. And then because it's in an exactly Sun-synchronous orbit, the radiator, which extends behind it for hundreds of feet is in the shade. You link these racks using lasers traveling through vacuum which are already on every Starlink. SpaceX operates the world's largest satellite fleet, which is 98 or 99% of all satellites in orbit. Every Starlink, they're cooling it today. I think Starlink V3 is going to operate at 20 kilowatts. A Blackwell rack is only 100 kilowatts. And people talk a lot about density. Well, if you're connecting the racks with lasers through vacuum, you can make the rack bigger physically. In space, there's all sorts of things that SpaceX can do. They also now operate the largest data center on Earth. I've spent a lot of time at Starbase over the years, and I've talked to a lot of SpaceX engineers. It is the most talented group of engineers on planet Earth, and they're very confident they have solved this."

Elon Musk reveals why he believes the cheapest place to put AI will be space within 36 months "The availability of energy is the issue. Everywhere outside of China, electrical output is more or less flat. The output of chips is growing exponentially, but the output of electricity is flat" "How are you going to turn the chips on? Magical power sources? Magical electricity fairies?" "Space is really a regulatory play. It's harder to build on land than it is in space. It's harder to scale on the ground than it is to scale in space" "It's always sunny in space. You don't have a day-night cycle, seasonality, clouds, or an atmosphere. The atmosphere alone results in about a 30% loss of energy" "Any given solar panel can do about five times more power in space than on the ground. You also avoid the cost of having batteries to carry you through the night" "My prediction is that it will be by far the cheapest place to put AI. It will be space in 36 months or less. Maybe 30 months" "The only place you can really scale is space. Once you start thinking in terms of what percentage of the Sun's power you are harnessing, you realize you have to go to space" "Solar cells are already farcically cheap. In China they're around 25-30 cents a watt. Now put them in space, and it's not five times cheaper, it's 10 times cheaper because you don't need any batteries" "The moment your cost of access to space becomes low, by far the cheapest and most scalable way to generate tokens is space. It's not even close" "Those who have lived in software land don't realize they're about to have a hard lesson in hardware. It's actually very difficult to build power plants"
