Touring Starcloud HQ in Redmond, WA with Founder and CEO Philip Johnston. Starcloud is building AI datacenters in space. This isn't just sci-fi, it's reality. Starcloud is launching the world's largest datacenter in space in just a few weeks, and will launch an even bigger one (that profitable) next year. WOW!
Join me on this exclusive tour of the headquarters, seeing the prototypes, hearing more about the vision and meeting the employees. Huge shoutout to Starcloud for having me!
It was very inspiring to get a glimpse of the future of the space economy. As SpaceX continues to push towards its Mars vision with Starship and Starlink, there will be a whole generation of startups built on top of the new railroads of space. This is the exciting start of a new era!!! Note, this was not sponsored, I'm just a big fan of Starcloud.
