“Space computing, the final frontier, has arrived,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared at the Nvidia GTC conference in March.
Indeed, the idea of data centers in orbit has gone from science fiction to a serious spending category. Elon Musk’s SpaceX has acquired xAI (also Musk’s) and is planning a constellation of space-based data centers. Google, not to be outdone, announced Project…
Against a blue backdrop, an orange triable connects the foot of an astronaut to a black and white image of a house.
You know the story. Clouds of dust and gas collapse to form stars like our Sun, around which the swirling maelstrom of debris slowly coalesces into a system of planets.
