Elon Musk last week announced an ambitious goal of launching a million solar-powered AI data centers into orbit. It could be an innovative work-around to America’s permitting headaches and electric-power shortages that are slowing the AI buildout. But get this—some progressives want to make it harder to build in space.
“Space-based AI is obviously the only way to scale,” Mr. Musk wrote after announcing SpaceX’s merger with xAI. “It’s always sunny in space!” Mr. Musk’s mission to launch solar-powered AI data centers in space involves significant technical challenges, but it’s not a journey to Mars. Other companies including Google have the same ambitions. So do the Chinese.
