AI is running out of power on the ground, so the people who sell the most AI chips and the people who launch the most rockets are both looking up. In this video I go through why it's coming, the physics on the ground and in space, what it would take, and how SpaceX and Nvidia are building it, including what Musk's "volume production next year" post really means: the Star Mind computer, not satellites already flying in orbit. I cover the US grid connection queue, transformer wait times, how much power one rack of Nvidia AI chips pulls, why a solar panel in a dawn-dusk orbit collects about 5 times the energy, how radiators cool chips in a vacuum, what one gigawatt of orbital compute would weigh, how many Starship launches it would take, and SpaceX's AI1 satellite and Starmind plans with Nvidia's Vera Rubin.
