How an e-scooter founder raised $5 million to build space data centers

# Space Data Centers: A New Frontier for Computing Power A former e-scooter executive has secured $5 million to build thousands of data centers in space instead of on Earth. The idea is to place computing equipment in orbit, where it could potentially offer advantages like lower cooling costs and proximity to satellite networks. While it sounds like science fiction, this reflects a broader trend of companies exploring space-based solutions to handle the growing demand for computing power that traditional data centers on the ground may struggle to meet.
