But anyway, it will forever baffle me how European government's could put key aspects of Europe's security in the hands of people who believe stuff like this

The strategic goal on the other hand is to acquire sole rights to swath of sun-synchronous orbits so that no other party can plan to use them. As if they would in fact respect such a land grab (sic).

But none of that is relevant to the investors who have already bought all the other AI hype. To them, this is a signal the bubble does not exist (it does), and a reason to plunk more money into a grift vehicle.

To run one current-gen compute rack in space, the satellite would have to have about 500 m² of solar panels in continuous sunlight. It would also somehow magically need to radiate half a megawatt of heat - 100 kW electrical, plus all the solar heating those panels couldn't convert to electricity.

Even if SpaceX had the capacity to perform a high-orbit launch every day on a vehicle which fits 50 satellites each time, it would take them 55 years to put up those satellites. Does anyone think a 55 year old "AI data center" remains useful?

This is two things:

- a stake for those orbits to deny anyone else room in that space

What are European leaders willing to do to defend the Kingdom of Denmark from America?
1st question: will they finally agree to the French plan to station European troops in #Greenland now?

Europe has two months to decide whether it will defend Denmark from US attack
