Google's Project Suncatcher proposes a radical solution to AI's energy crisis: data centers in space. By deploying solar-powered satellite clusters in low Earth orbit, the tech giant aims to tap into continuous solar energy while avoiding Earth's power grid constraints.
We explore how this orbital constellation would use laser-based connections for high-speed data transfer, the challenges of radiation-hardened processors, and whether plummeting launch costs make space-based machine learning economically viable. Could the future of AI comp
