Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt just made a radical move—he bought Relativity Space, a private rocket company, to solve one of AI’s most terrifying problems: we’re running out of electricity on Earth. As artificial intelligence, machine learning, and large language models explode in scale, AI is projected to consume up to 99% of global power generation—yes, 99%.
To fix that, Schmidt wants to launch AI-powered data centers into space, using solar panels in geostationary orbit to harvest energy 24/7—no clouds, no atmosphere, no night cycles. These space-based data centers could generate 8x more power than anything on Earth, with no cooling costs, no environmental interference, and no dependence on outdated energy grids.
With companies building 10-gigawatt data farms and Earth’s infrastructure falling behind, Schmidt is betting that orbital computing is the only way to sustain the future of advanced AI models, neural networks, and autonomous systems.
If Relativity’s Terran R rocket succeeds, this could be the start of a new era in energy, computing, and space infrastructure. But is this a moonshot… or the smartest move in tech history?
