I love the scope and audacity of Elon's plans.
This is their AI1 satellite they just unveiled, the next generation AI satellite, designed, Alex, to launch humanity's first Dyson swarm.
The specs are wild.
150 kilowatts of peak compute, 70 kilowatts per ton.
This is a two-ton satellite, a 70-meter wingspan, basically the wingspan of an Airbus 380 with 110 square meters of deployable radiative cooling and an integrative micrometeorite shield, right?
There's lots of micrometeorites hitting the planet all the time.
Elon's description is worth me reading.
He says, quote,
The AI satellite is much simpler than a Starlink satellite.
The AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells.
You still need some laser links, but you don't have all the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite.
It's easier to design than the AI satellite.
It's a lot bigger.
A lot of this technology already exists with Starlink V3.
So here he is.
He's making it real.
That's what he does all the time, build the tech to make it real.
Alex, what do you make of it?
Yeah, it is beautiful.
And remember, that's what Elon does over and over again, right?
