Google and SpaceX are in talks to build data centers in orbit, pitching space as the future home for AI compute, even as costs today remain far higher than on the ground.

The apparently insatiable demand for AI compute has data center entrepreneurs looking to the stars. There's a key problem: There aren't enough rockets to put data centers in orbit…

Tech chiefs like Elon Musk and Sundar Pichai have said Earth’s orbit can provide more space for data centers constrained by resource limitations on the planet’s surface.

Google is reportedly in talks with SpaceX for a rocket launch deal as it explores orbital AI data centers through Project Suncatcher.

Elon Musk's AI data centers in space idea is looking pretty interesting to the search giant.

There's more movement on the data-centers-in-space front, as Google and SpaceX are apparently teaming up.
