Elon Musk’s TeraFab vision gets wild fast:
AI in space could become cheaper than AI on Earth within 2–3 years.
Why? Near-constant sunlight, 5×+ solar yield, less battery mass, fewer terrestrial power constraints then scale toward a terawatt of orbital compute.
And eventually?
Lunar mass drivers. Petawatt-scale compute. Millions of tons to orbit.
This isn’t just about building better chips.
It’s about moving civilization’s compute infrastructure off-world.
