Molly O’SheaLead source
ICYMI: Starcloud filed with the FCC for an 88,000-satellite constellation: “So the 200 kilowatt one, we can launch 50 per Starship, so you’re talking about close to 10 megawatts of new compute capacity per Starship launch.” “That’s just the first 88,000.” “We think we can fit about 10 terawatts in this dawn-dusk sun synchronous orbit, so that’s about 20x the entire US power grid.” “If you want to scale much more compute, then you really need to do it in space.”
