One doesn’t just cool large amounts of electronics in space vacuum. Way easier to have more solar panels on Earth than more radiators in space.
One solar storm and then?
These guys are really digging deep to dream up bull dust.
Uh…no they wont.
They would have needed to started this project a couple of years ago to even begin building them in spacy in 2027.
Nah it won’t. Space is hard for maintenance. And expensive to reach in the first place. Things go wrong in space all the time.
This isn’t really going to happen beyond a prototype.
He’s adopted the Elon Musk style of tech hype.
Just start saying all kinds of trippy futurist hype shit, and eventually Cathie Woods will buy boatloads of your stock and make you a trillionaire.
He’s taking them to the [one place not corrupted by capitalism!](https://youtu.be/niZpcdp2v34)
Oh hey there Elon, you’re looking… Different.
Can’t wait to see how much time this will rezist all the debris impacts…I give it 2 days 😂
Can you guys like read the article?
As much as I hate tech bro hype read it before the collective dumb freakouts.
„We are taking our first step in ’27,“ he said. „We’ll send tiny, tiny racks of machines, and have them in satellites, test them out, and then start scaling from there.“
They wan’t to have their main power & control center far way from the tributaries and the peasants with their forks and torches.
In former times the build castles high on mountain tops, now they build their centers of powers in space.
Rocket and radiation shielding costs for a data center in orbit would be astronomical. Oops, some of your drives, memory modules, or psus have failed, better send a tech up to replace it at the cost of millions per drive.
Reding this it does not sound like a good idea https://taranis.ie/datacenters-in-space-are-a-terrible-horrible-no-good-idea/
On Earth, data centers consume practically a whole city’s worth of water to stay cool. How does he plan to dissipate heat in space?
If Google had solved that problem already Pichai would be saying “Google has developed a method to keep data centers cool that doesn’t need any water or air” because that’d be the bigger selling point.
Unless he’s just lying..
I wish him luck on his trip to the Moon
No, they won’t. „We’ll send tiny, tiny racks of machines, and have them in satellites, test them out, and then start scaling from there.“ That’s not a „data center“, that’s miles away from a „data center“
This implies that the data centers in space would be operating at steady state with closed systems instead of open loop coolant systems like they oftentimes are on earth. Why wouldn’t they just invest more in sustainable data centers that don’t use water, since open loop water cooling isn’t viable long term in space?
Whatever problems are being had on earth are so much worse in space
Yeah yeah, say it sayt, havent we were told to go to Mars in 2020? How is that going on? 😀
I wonder that these tech CEOs says sexy thigns just to create a viral notion.
To create data centers in space….there are literally hundreads of millions are dying from hunger, malnutrition, lack of basicc medicine, shortage of electricity.
It is fascinatin that we are spending so much money to generate power for these AI hyped things just deliver little in return.
I think there has to be balance, these data centeras require lots of cooling, and the water used nearby becomes really polluted. I dont know where we are goind with this AI stuff, but the resources are used not so efficiently.
It is not to criticize, but I think humanity is at the stage of the development, where we can utilize resources in the most efficeint way. 100-200 years ago, it was an excuse to burn colal in open air,. but nowadays, come on….
sound cool, yet idk
Just saying shit to keep the investors around
Press X to doubt
One of the harder things to do in space is to keep things cold (vacuum is a really good insulator). How are they planning to keep all those servers cool?
Maybe we could build more power grids across the globe first so everyone can…. have access to electricity….
I hate this
Lol, whatever gets hype and clicks I guess.
How you are going to cool them ? Just radiators, ok ? You do know that this is the major issue right mr. CEO ? Also, do you know how much it costs to haul 1kg in space ?
lol funny to believe Google can commit to anything
That’s nothing, me and my pals will export Reddit comment section to Andromeda
In space or on Dr Evil’s volcano lair island.
Instead of cold storage option they’re now giving us deep space storage options
Keep in mind that Google owns 7% of SpaceX. So increasing the payload sent to orbit increases the number of flights SpaceX does thus increasing their valuation. I’m not saying that Pichai is saying that to manipulate SpaceX valuation. But it’s a nice side effect for them.
Not if we START taxing the rich.
These people have watched too much sci-fi.
AI ….in SPAAAAAAAAACE! Because, like, environment, and stuff.
The hardware, that is usually obsolete after 2-3 years, and that requires lots of power AND cooling, which is really hard in space because you only have radiative cooling, has to be put on a rocket to presumably low earth orbit and be connected to a network of high speed transceivers on earth, that probably also have to be built. And all of this will make a technology that’s still not economically viable somehow better?
Well… All the best 🙂
He later said ‚And the space ships will go vroom and, and… Tommy don’t touch my toys! Mum said no‘!
Im no science person but isnt it really difficult to cool / vent heat in space? And its not like you can watercool your servers in space.
I will hand Sundar the giant gold brick I shit if this happens.
These tech giants needs dismantling.
