The next frontier in data storage launches from a gun
A gun big enough to launch data centers into space sounds like science fiction, but Longshot is building it. Their ambition is to make orbital data storage a reality, addressing the physical limits of earthbound servers. It's a bold, practical bet on a future where latency and land constraints no longer dictate our infrastructure.

Google's space chip launch hints at orbital data centers requiring thousands of Starship flights
Google just sent its first advanced chip into orbit, and the message is clear: the future of data processing may live above our heads. If that sounds ambitious, consider the logistics, this path likely requires thousands of Starship flights to build orbital data centers. It's a bold bet on space infrastructure, and it reframes what "cloud computing" could mean. For more on how AI is reshaping digital workflows, read our piece on Photon's $4.5M bet on AI agents.
Starcloud turns its focus from orbit to the stars with Alpha Centauri probe
Starcloud's orbital data centers already stretch the limits of ambition, but this new project aims far beyond Earth's orbit. The team is now setting its sights on Alpha Centauri, dispatching a probe on a high-risk mission that feels pulled from science fiction. It's audacious, yes, and the challenges are immense. Yet that willingness to push boundaries is exactly what defines this moment in space exploration. For more on their trajectory, our coverage of Starcloud's recent funding round offers useful context.
