Could a million spacecraft form a massive orbital data center?
Following SpaceX's acquisition of xAI, new FCC filings suggest a radical vision for orbital computing. This video uses Universe Sandbox to visualize the staggering scale of a proposed Earth-orbiting compute cluster.
The concept involves the construction of a massive compute cluster in Earth orbit, potentially utilizing one million spacecraft. This ambitious plan follows SpaceX's recent acquisition of xAI. To grasp the sheer complexity of such a deployment, the video utilizes Universe Sandbox to model the expected orbital patterns, illustrating the technical difficulty of managing a constellation of this magnitude.
