The cheapest AI data center may be in orbit

The AI race is increasingly becoming a power race.
Elon Musk has argued that solar panels in space can produce far more power than panels on Earth, without clouds, night cycles, land permits, or grid delays.
If launch cadence keeps improving, orbital AI infrastructure stops sounding like science fiction and starts sounding like an energy arbitrage problem.
Software people may be about to learn that the future of AI depends on hardware, power, and logistics.
