That’s comparable to a small data center (maybe 50,000 gpus).If launch costs keep dropping and environmental costs keep rising, space based data centers will make sense. kiba 2 months ago Land cost will also start to matter, but probably not at the scale that Starlink is doing. Regardless, orbitals are real estate. morshu9001 2 months ago Comparable in cost or capacity? Small datacenter is maybe around 20MW of compute. nish__ 2 months ago What a ridiculous waste of money. amitav1 2 months ago What? Starlink made $72,000,000 in net profit last year.
