You don't want a day-night cycle for your data center.

You want it on 24-7.

So you would make it the cheap way only.

Then you have to add batteries, or you have to have a nuclear power plant, or you have to have gas, all of which is more expensive.

In space, you just don't need that.

Your solar panel can be in a, you can put your satellite in a sun-synchronous dawn-dusk orbit where it's in permanent sunlight.

That means you get five times more power because of the absorption of the atmosphere that you don't have to deal with and various other things.

You get five times more power per solar panel and you don't have to carry batteries or anything else because it's always in the sun.

So here you've solved your power problem really neatly.

The only issue is you have to get that sucker into orbit.

You don't have to have buildings.

You don't have to have cooling.

Permits.

You don't have to have permits.

There's a lot of other stuff that can just go faster.

And in space, there's a lot of space.

I mean, you say it's land space.

Actually, there's a lot of competition.

We're seeing data centers drive agricultural attention, land with cities who don't want these data centers in their backyard, driving up power costs, driving water problems, and they can't get their water supply.

here we have loads of space in space like thousands of times more space in space than on the earth's surface even if you're just talking about low earth orbit so lots of space look but anyway it's a long-term project i i just want to point out that this is not going to happen overnight but yeah in 10 years time it's most likely that most compute will be done in space and planet will play a role where there's only a couple of companies on earth
