There is no Artificial Intelligence in space, is there? Think again...

This is straight from the source - NASA. Google, SpaceX, and a host of technology leaders are pursuing an ambitious vision to establish data centers in orbit, aiming to solve artificial intelligence's insatiable appetite for energy while sidestepping earthbound constraints.

Google announced Project Suncatcher in November, with plans to launch two prototype satellites in early 2027 that will test AI hardware powered by continuous solar energy. CEO Sundar Pichai told Fox News that building extraterrestrial data centers will be "normal" within a decade. Meanwhile, startup Starcloud made history in December by successfully training an AI model - Google's Gemma - aboard its satellite, marking the first time a large language model operated in space.

SpaceX confirmed in December it is preparing for a possible 2026 initial public offering that could raise more than $30 billion, with proceeds earmarked for "AI data centers in space," according to chief financial officer Bret Johnsen. At an $800 billion valuation, the company is positioning itself as a key player in orbital computing infrastructure. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said space data centers would be "the cheapest way to train AI" within five years.

No idea how long this sale will last. Grab one while you can...
