Everyone’s sleeping on the real drain on capital: space-based data centres might sound like the future but they’re a money pit. Sure, “Space-based data centres: The next frontier for AI, or an expensive detour?” got a buzz, but investors fixate on orbital dreams while ignoring insurance, latency and maintenance costs that could bankrupt a startup faster than you can say “BS.”
