Orbital Data Centers Face Space-Based

Orbital Data Centers Face Space-Based Challenges

Why Thermodynamics Rules Future Orbital Data Centers

Why Orbital Data Centers Are Harder Than Silicon Valley Thinks Shedding heat will require ingenious new designs “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.

Musk tells Jamie Dimon that America faces a catastrophic 'zero memory fab' crisis

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk recenlty virtually joined an event hosted by CEO Jamie Dimon at JPMorgan’s office in New York. Shared on social media platfrom X, the conversation between the two CEOs ranged from SpaceX’s financial trajectory to bold visions of lunar AI data centers and the looming semiconductor crisis in the United States. While Musk confirmed SpaceX’s decision to go public, he stressed that the lack of domestic high-volume computer memory manufacturing poses a far greater threat to...

Scientists propose spraying chemicals into Earth's magnetic field to protect us from powerful solar storms

Scientists propose spraying chemicals into Earth's magnetic field to protect us from powerful solar storms "When you apply some really serious physics to it, it does work." When severe solar storms hurtle toward Earth, the planet's first line of defense is its magnetosphere, a vast magnetic bubble that deflects the brunt of the sun's dangerous charged particles. Historically, humanity has only attempted to forecast the storms and brace for impact.

SpaceX IPO holds both promise and peril

SpaceX IPO holds both promise and peril June 11, 2026SpaceX will be at the center of attention on financial markets this Friday as the company makes its stock-market debut. The Elon Musk-led rocket, satellite and artificial intelligence company plans to raise as much as $75 billion (€65 billion) by selling nearly 555.6 million shares at $135 apiece. That would make it the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history, breaking the previous record set by Saudi Aramco in 2019, when the oil...
