If anybody has any objections, speak now or forever hold your peace, basically.
And I think this is going to have their application that they put out for was like for a million orbital data centers.
So there's going to be a massive satellite constellation.
Elon has floated the idea.
And a lot of people think this is like kind of science fiction.
But I think there's a lot of real engineering that goes into this.
So one of the elements that a lot of people are talking about is lunar manufacturing.
So literally building like factors on the moon that can launch and develop and create these.
data centers.
And I think one of the parts of this is that as far as regulation goes, you have to, I think, deorbit your satellites every five years or have a plan for deorbiting so that we don't just have unlimited space junk.
These things have to be able to basically come down.
A lot of people have it where they just reenter the atmosphere and burn up.
And that's kind of their deorbiting plan.
It feels like we might have perhaps ways to capture them and bring them to the moon to get retrofitted, or perhaps we're still going to let them just burn up on reentry and just keep, you know, our factory on the moon pumping out more and more solar paneled, solar panel covered space compute data centers.
It's a really interesting, really interesting thought here.
But in any case, I think one thing that was said by Elon that was interesting, he said, it's difficult to imagine what an intelligence of that scale would think about
perhaps it's going to be incredibly exciting to see it happen.
I think there are a lot of critics that are kind of focusing on some of the cost comparisons between ground and orbital data centers.
I think they often are kind of assuming static launch and economics, which is basically the entire premise is hinging on Starship here, right?
