The goal is to shift energy- and water-intensive compute off Earth, leveraging free solar energy and fewer regulations in space. Blue Origin plans to use its Terawave satellite constellation as a communications backbone. Several competitors are pursuing similar ideas, including SpaceX (1 million satellites), Starcloud (60,000 satellites), and Google's Project Suncatcher. Key challenges include processor cooling in space, inter-satellite laser communication, radiation effects on chips, and launch costs. Experts don't expect these projects to materialize until the 2030s, and environmental concerns around orbital congestion and ozone layer damage from satellite reentry remain significant. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
