Data centers are getting bigger, louder, and more expensive, driving up electricity costs and polluting local communities. Of course, companies that get paid to put stuff in space like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and now StarCloud claim that launching AI Data Centers into space is the future. But is putting data centers in space, which are really giant satellite networks of cloud servers, really possible?
In this tech talk, we explain why orbital data centers sound futuristic, but come with major challenges like heat management, cost, and risks of space debris disaster. We also explore a more realistic alternative for future tech: underwater data centers, inspired by projects like Microsoft’s Project Natick, and discuss how companies like Meta and Google are approaching energy and infrastructure at scale for cloud computing.
