Why tech companies are racing to put AI data centers in space
TL;DR
Google, SpaceX, Nvidia, and a growing group of startups are betting that orbit could solve AI’s power problem. First they have to figure out cost, cooling, and space junk.

Nauti's Take
For small teams, this is an infrastructure watchpoint rather than an investment signal. Before treating orbital compute as a viable option for sensitive AI workflows, verify the provider’s location, energy source, data access, failure modes, and the real cost of moving workloads into orbit.
