How Is AI Used In Space? This Wild Look Into a Data Center Plan Has Clues

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-10-23 22:05:57

The world runs on data. As humanity’s information gets increasingly digitized and artificial intelligence creeps its way into every aspect of life, data centers become more and more important. But that data comes with a catch: the servers in these data centers have monstrous energy demands that eat up natural resources like water, and that puts a significant burden on local communities where data centers are located.

With recent Falcon 9 milestones, SpaceX vindicates its “dumb” approach to reuse

As SpaceX's Starship vehicle gathered all of the attention this week, the company's workhorse Falcon 9 rocket continued to hit some impressive milestones. Both occurred during relatively anonymous launches of the company's Starlink satellites but are nonetheless notable because they underscore the value of first-stage reuse, which SpaceX has pioneered over the last decade.

With Starship Flight 10, SpaceX prioritized resilience over perfection

SpaceX has long marketed Starship as a fully and rapidly reusable rocket that’s designed to deliver thousands of pounds of cargo to Mars and make life multiplanetary. But reusability at scale means a space vehicle that can tolerate mishaps and faults, so that a single failure doesn’t spell a mission-ending catastrophe. The 10th test flight on Tuesday evening demonstrated SpaceX’s focus on fault tolerance. In a post-flight update, SpaceX said the test stressed “the limits of vehicle capabilities

The International Space Station (ISS) has been in orbit for over 26 years, housing astronauts at an altitude of 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth. But even at that distance, the space station can’t escape the drag of Earth’s atmosphere as oxygen molecules and other gases collide with it, causing it to lose altitude over time. For the ISS to retain its status in orbit, NASA and its partners perform the occasional reboost maneuver. This is typically done using the space station’s own thruste
