Maybe a bit far forward looking but I think the idea has merit from first principles. It makes sense to analyze things from power perspective. Of course there are other limitations as well.

The last thing the world wants is a million satellites permanently polluting our night skies. These projects need to be banned.

    If they are in sun synchronous orbit, I assume it would show up as a south-north string near the terminator (sunset / sunrise). Not visible at midnight.

    Ah yes, let's pollute air instead.

    Any chance you worked on advising Germany on it's energy strategy?

      What does any of this mean?

        If demand for AI continues to grow 100-1000x fold - there's just no way for datacenters to be sustainably built on earth. Also we already quite close for them to be built cheaper in space.

        Fab thing I don't understand tho. Only reason is to bring manufacturing in US since next year China is invading Taiwan so we don't have to defend them.

          Someone was talking about satellites and you're talking about polluting air and "1000x AI growth". Focus up.

            No the were NIMBY’ing some old trope without considering alternatives.

            • CyberDildonics a month ago

              I don't think that happened. It's one line and it's about satellites. I have no idea what you're talking about.

TL;DR: it is new semiconductor fabs that Elon wants to build.
