Elon Musk revealed plans for an orbital data center using SpaceX's AI1 satellites. Built around Nvidia NVL72 racks and interconnected by space lasers, the system bypasses terrestrial grid and permitting constraints while offering faster-than-fiber latency. It leverages Starlink's existing laser mesh and power infrastructure to turn orbit into a compute resource.
