Ep 5 - Escaping the Gilded Age: Why Humanity Needs a New Frontier

Join Ben and Paul as they welcome Blue Origin’s New Glenn to the stage, analysing its payload capabilities in comparison to Starship and Falcon Heavy and what it means for breaking launch monopolies. The conversation takes a deep philosophical dive, arguing that humanity has stalled in a "Gilded Age" and requires a new frontier to reignite hope and expansion, much like the push West in the 19th century. They discuss the terrestrial energy bottleneck, highlighting that we simply can't build turbines fast enough, and how this validates the explosion of interest in Orbital Data Centres. The hosts unpack major developments, including Star Cloud successfully launching an Nvidia H100 into orbit and Google’s new Project Sun Catcher, which focuses on the complex coordination of satellite swarms for TPUs in space. Finally, Ben breaks down the physics of "bootstrapping the Dyson Sphere" using Lunar Mass Drivers and in-situ resource utilisation to manufacture solar arrays on the moon, while giving due credit to Rocket Lab’s growing role in the interplanetary ecosystem

Ep 4 - Routine Miracles: Falcon's 500 Landings and Life on Mars

Join Paul and Ben as they debate the path to humanity's energy future, starting with a "case against the Dyson sphere" by exploring terrestrial solutions like micro-nuclear reactors and geothermal energy. The conversation quickly pivots to the incredible, yet now routine, progress in space, highlighting SpaceX's Falcon 9 achieving a record 30 reflights for a single booster and 500 total landings. They discuss how this launch dominance enables major business moves like the recent $17 billion spectrum acquisition for Starlink. The episode also covers the brewing race back to the moon, comparing China's Long March 10 progress with the US plan to land a game-changing Starship, and Ben pitches a novel idea for manufacturing solid rocket boosters on the moon. Finally, they touch on the growing ecosystem, including the US military's Space Development Agency and Rocket Lab's new Neutron rocket, before wrapping up with the groundbreaking discovery of a definitive signature of past life on Mars

Ep 3 - A Gemini in Orbit: AI Models and Data Centers Take Flight

Join Ben and Paul as they unpack the latest surge in space-based computing and exploration. This episode kicks off with the launch of an Axiom Space data center experiment to the ISS, designed to test commercial off-the-shelf hardware for AI and ML workloads in orbit. The conversation then shifts to StarCloud's major moves, including a partnership with Google to run the Gemini AI model on an orbiting H100 and securing new funding from In-Q-Tel. They highlight the critical role of deployable radiator technology in making high-performance space computing a reality. The discussion also touches on the upcoming Starship 10 flight, the ironic partnership seeing SpaceX launch Amazon's Project Kuiper satellites, and a heartfelt tribute to the late Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell, underscoring the need to inspire a new generation to venture beyond low-Earth orbit.

jakson Ep 2 - Beyond the Cloud: Why Data Centers Are Leaving Earth kansikuva

Ep 2 - Beyond the Cloud: Why Data Centers Are Leaving Earth

Join us as Ben Sand & Philip Johnston  explore the groundbreaking push to take compute extraterrestrial! Discover how Philip Johnston from Starcloud's team is overcoming the immense challenges of radiation shielding and thermal management to launch powerful Nvidia H100s into space on a cutting-edge demonstrator satellite. This episode delves into the innovative deployable radiator technology that's making high-performance computing viable beyond Earth, driven by the vision to move data centers off-planet and preserve our world. We'll also touch on the future of space travel with Starship, the fascinating idea of placing data centers closer to the sun, and why this cosmic shift is becoming not just viable, but necessary for the future of humanity's computational needs.

Ep 1 - Stairway to Dyson: Sphere's in the news

Join us in a conversation between Paul and Ben, discussing the emergence of Dyson spheres and orbital data centres. In this episode they highlight that major companies like StarCloud, Star Catcher, Axiom Space, and even prominent figures such as Eric Schmidt and Jeff Bezos are investing in space-based infrastructure. The conversation addresses common concerns about such ventures, including radiation, cost, and maintenance, by arguing that these issues are either already solved or will be mitigated by advancements like Starship. Ultimately, the speakers contend that terrestrial energy constraints and regulatory hurdles make orbital data centres an increasingly viable and necessary solution for the future of AI and computing.
