Starcloud is the concept I'll show my friends that datacenters have hit peak hype.

Can't wait for an alien to NIMBY one of these.

This. We really have hit Internet bubble hype levels, this could be a Silicon Valley episode. "My pitch deck is one slide. 'It's AI... IN SPACE!'"

The banker slide with checkboxes will be compelling:

[x] no permitting, cultural, wildlife

[x] no local opposition.

[x] site control

Unfortunately, this is balance sheet financing so big boys only.

I can't wait for the inevitable epic humanity saving mission, where the AI datacenter gets stuck in a murder loop, and we have to send up the best and brightest in a spaceship to unplug the power cable and plug it in again.

The year is 2054...

There are no offline, terrestrial porn backups.

Humanity has lost connection with the only remaining porn footage on a space datacenter called "Old Family Cooking Recipes."

A rag tag team, led by Ellen Degeneres (who still can't get hired), must perform a daring mission to press the power On/Off switch.

No need to wait for nimby. Plenty of people unhappy about rocket launches.

Add the fact it's going to host AI and crypto and some will even call it fascism and try to move out (not sure where tho).
