which require swaths of land and power.
These data centers are designed to be powered by solar panels, eliminating the major power constraint faced by data centers on Earth and one of the major ecological issues with emerging technologies.
But there are also major engineering challenges.
SpaceX made its name as the world's leading private launch provider, sending NASA astronauts to the space station and launching thousands of satellites as part of its Starlink internet constellation, over 10,000 apparently.
As it prepares to go public, SpaceX has struck a number of deals that have rewritten its balance sheet, helped Musk consolidate his companies, including its acquisition of XAI, and SpaceX also announced a deal with Cursor, as we have talked about on the show.

Okay, yeah, yeah.
And what's their goal?

They say, is it a pipe dream or AI's next big thing?
They're pointing out some of the challenges.
You're going to need thermal louvers, opening and closing shutters to block or allow heat, thermal contacts, special bolts to separate items with different heat requirements, deployable radiators.
