You got one thing wrong, Ed. SpaceX will place it’s AI sats in orbit where they will get 24 hr. sunlight. No need for large battery storage.

Sun Synchronous orbits have their own drawbacks, like launch penalty, in comparison to LEO and other more standard orbits. And still need batteries, for back up power, for providing power before deployment of solar arrays, for powering the equipment as the satellite goes through the occasional eclipse, etc.
@daShadoSage

He was right. And the one doing it also confirmed because:
1. Most Earth orbits pass through shadow.
-Satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) (like Starlink) spend part of each orbit in Earth’s shadow.
– During those eclipse periods, solar panels produce no power.
– Batteries supply power until sunlight returns.
2. Power demand fluctuates.
– AI workloads can spike.
– Batteries help smooth power delivery.
3. Redundancy and fault tolerance.
– If a solar array has an issue, batteries provide backup power.

100GW in space would take $70,000,000 of launch cost and require total or 3,500 launches
100GW – 70million GPU’s. 200 GPU’s per satellite = 350,000 satellites. 2 tonnes per satellite = 700,000 gross tonnage (Satrship V4 can launch 200 tonnes per launch) = 3,500 launches needed. Or 100 satellite at 2 tonne each per launch = 3,500 launches. At a launch cost of $100 per tonne = $70,000,000 total launch cost to put 100 Giga watts into orbit
@118Columbus

@Clogartoable$100 per ton? It costs $100,000 per ton so it cost $70 billion, not $70 million.

@118Columbuswhen starship v4 is flying, the cost of mass to orbit will be $100 per ton onboard starship v4

Now they want to pollute space because they can’t pollute the earth. What’s wrong with all these freaking power hungry organizations. Why do they all have to destroy everything for their fancy technologies to be of use. Maybe we need to stop subsidizing these corporations before the ruin the rest of the world they haven’t yet. Wake up people how the hell does doing this benefit us the people. Seriously

Bro just stop and come up with something else that isn’t gonna be used as another form of surveillance or even weapons systems. Imagine if those huge things fall to earth? A 4 km long object to fall to earth would cause massive damage and the major damage to people. This is just stupid. We know what you build data center. Stop. Don’t destroy space with your crap
