How would AI data centers in space even work? A former NASA robotics chief explains
SMRTR summary
Space-based data centers could soon handle AI workloads without burdening Earth's power grids, drawing solar energy in orbit and sending only data back down. The biggest hurdle is launch costs — currently $2,900 per kilogram with SpaceX, but economically viable only below $500. Robots and predictive analytics would handle maintenance, keeping performance steady while users remain completely unaware their data was processed in space.
