Simple: VC money. The only thing surprising to me about that is that the pitch wasn't "AI in space". My take: The idea that heavy computing in LEO is better than sending data down to Earth sounds very naive. Starlink is great proof that the bandwidth is plentiful and the latency is good, once the equipment is modern. Definitely cheaper and easier than cooling a datacenter. | ||
