You put those solar panels out there. They don't have the atmosphere to fight to get the energy of the sun. You don't have to cool the data center. Then you don't have a real estate cost.

the way he explained it to me was, you know, you put those solar panels out there. They don't have the atmosphere to fight to get the energy of the sun. Then you behind the solar panels have something that dissipates energy, and then you have the data center up there, which means it's in the cool of space. You don't have to cool the data center. Then you don't have a real estate cost, and these things could daisy chain in some way, either lasers between them to send the data. And then, obviously, he's got the STARLINK.
Why this clip
Clear explanation of space-based infrastructure advantages with practical business logic. The step-by-step breakdown of cost savings (no cooling, no real estate) makes complex concepts accessible and shareable.
