You're focused on weight, not size.
In a data center on Earth where you're trying to connect racks, ideally using copper, minimize lengths, cabling is a big cost.
You do want that rack to be small, copper when you can, optics when you must.
But in space, you know, there's all sorts of things.
that SpaceX can do that I think maybe some of these naysayers are not contemplating.
They operate more satellites than you want.
They have a twenty kilowatt satellite today.
So maybe you just scale that up to sixty kilowatts to start.
They seem very confident they're going to go right to a hundred to one hundred and twenty.
The same company now,
also operates the largest data center on Earth, they have the world's best hardware engineers, and all sorts of people, almost all of whom are not smart enough or practical enough to work at SpaceX, are these armchair skeptics.
You know, I don't want to quote Larry Allison, but somebody was being skeptical.
And Larry was just like, listen, he's out there landing rockets.
I don't see anybody else landing rockets.
And the reality is, 10 years later, no other company is consistently capable of landing and fully reusing an orbital rocket.
None of this makes sense without reusability.
That means you have to land it.
I would like to redefine orbital compute has
Racks in space, not giant floating Pentagon sized data centers in space.
Will be dependent on size data centers.
