Beam Me Compute: Why StarCloud Is Launching GPUs Into Orbit

Why fight for grid power when you can beam sunlight straight into GPUs in space? Philip Johnston, co-founder of StarCloud, is done waiting on terrestrial infrastructure. He’s building forty-megawatt compute blocks that unfold in orbit, bleed heat into the vacuum, and link back to Earth with lasers that outpace fiber. This isn’t concept art. It’s hardware. It launches this year. Inside: Why launching compute is starting to cost less than cooling it How space radiators dump GPU heat without a single drop of freshwater Why StarCloud’s latency beats transatlantic cables on key routes How orbital compute could slash the AI power bill without touching the grid What it takes to launch a GPU cluster 500km above sea level And what happens when space becomes the real cloud This is more than solar panels and dreams. It’s a serious shot at AI infrastructure that doesn’t burn down the planet. And if it works, the implications are massive. Real-time compute from orbit. Unlimited power. Permanent sunshine. The cloud is moving up. -- Links and resources Join us; www.thinkingonpaper.xyz Starcloud: https://www.starcloud.com/ Philip Johnston:   / philipjohnst   Space elevators: https://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...
