Lacey(@LaceyPresley):100 GW/year of orbital solar-powered AI compute is an engineering equation, not a slogan. 1 Mt of payload to orbit annually at 100 kW/ton delivers it. Starship cadence of ~10 k flights/year closes the mass. By aircraft standards that cadence is modest; relative to today’s entire rocket industry it is transformative. This is the concrete path from power-constrained terrestrial data centers to continuous, radiation-hardened orbital compute at civilizational scale. Source I Elon Musk
