#Spacedatacentres are currently more #expensive than terrestrial ones due to high launch costs and shorter lifespans. However, as #AI demand grows and chip production increases, space datacentres could become viable by the early 2030s. The Total Cost of Ownership (#TCO) framework shows that space datacentres could achieve cost parity with terrestrial ones by 2040. https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/to-boldly-go-the-case-for-space-datacenters?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#NASA Administrator #JaredIsaacman stated that the #US will return to the #moon within #Trump’s second term. He emphasised the importance of #lunarexploration for scientific, economic, and national security reasons, including the potential for #spacedatacentres, #infrastructure, and #Helium3 mining. Isaacman also highlighted the Artemis campaign, a moon exploration programme aiming to prepare for #Mars missions, and the role of #SpaceX and #BlueOrigin. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/12/26/nasa-boss-isaacman-us-will-return-to-the-moon-within-trumps-term.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news
Space data centres are a potential solution to AI's energy problem. With the vast resources of space, they could reduce energy consumption on Earth. #SpaceDataCentres #AI #EnergyEfficiency https://us.technoholic.me/OejWKla
Data centres in space could be one solution to AI’s big energy problem

As AI boosts demand for more data storage, Europe is considering sending data centres into space — and the plan is not as outlandish as it may first appear.   A 16-month, €2 ...
