Musk highly confident SpaceX will launch Nvidia NVL72 compute in space next year

Space-based AI compute is scheduled for next year, not science fiction.
- Nvidia is developing a rack with SpaceX purpose-built for orbital deployment: solar panels for power, radiators for heat rejection, compute in the middle — the same architecture already proven by roughly 10,000 Starlink satellites in orbit.
- Musk says he's highly confident SpaceX launches Nvidia VR NVL72 computers in space next year.
- The motivation: terrestrial compute expansion is hitting compounding constraints on permits, land, and grid access — and orbit has no zoning board.
