A growing fight over the future of space is putting astronomy, environmental protection, and technological ambition on a collision course. Astronomers are sounding the alarm over two proposals now under review by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission: Reflect Orbital’s plan to launch tens of thousands of giant mirrors into orbit and SpaceX’s vision for up to one million satellites designed to support artificial intelligence and orbital data processing. Scientists warn th

The investment bank warns that rapid advances in computing power and model training are pushing large language models toward a new level of performance, potentially triggering a wave of econ

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly exploring an unusually literal way to scale artificial intelligence: putting parts of its computing infrastructure in space. According to reporting summarized by multiple outlets, Altman has shown interest in building a space oriented business not to pursue Mars colonization, but to support AI data centers that could draw abundant solar energy and potentially reduce the environmental burden that earthbound facilities create (Smith; “Sam A
