The artificial intelligence revolution has brought humanity to an unprecedented crossroads. As we ask AI to generate code, create art, and solve complex scientific problems, we are inadvertently fueling a massive infrastructure crisis on Earth. Terrestrial data centers, the "brains" of the digital age, have hit what experts call an "energy wall"—a point where the demand for power, cooling, and land is becoming unsustainable.
However, the solution might not be found on Earth, but 300 miles above it. Orbital compute, the practice of building AI data centers in space, is no longer just the realm
