The Starlink constellation cost $10 billion. That’s comparable to a small data center (maybe 50,000 gpus).
If launch costs keep dropping and environmental costs keep rising, space based data centers will make sense.
- nish__ 11mo agoWhat a ridiculous waste of money.
- kiba 11mo agoLand cost will also start to matter, but probably not at the scale that Starlink is doing. Regardless, orbitals are real estate.
- morshu9001 11mo agoComparable in cost or capacity? Small datacenter is maybe around 20MW of compute.
