Thanks @YCombinator for documenting @Starcloud_Inc1’s journey to launching the first @Nvidia H100 in space 🙏 Check it out below! 🎥🤓
Starcloud (@Starcloud_Inc1) recently made history by launching a satellite with an NVIDIA H100 into orbit — the first time a GPU that powerful has ever operated in space. It's the first step toward building AI data centers in orbit, powered by continuous sunlight and cooled by radiating heat into deep space.
Their approach could one day rival the world's biggest data centers while using less energy, zero fresh water, and far lower emissions.
YC's @aaron_epstein visited Starcloud's HQ, where co-founders @philipjohnston, @EzraFeilden, and @Adi_Oltean explained how they built a working prototype in just 15 months — and why big tech is racing to space for AI compute.

It took me a while to realize that in Silicon Valley, “He’s good at fundraising” is often meant as an insult 😅

SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT:
Max Haot (@maxhaot), CEO of @vast will be joining the Space & Defense Investor Summit.
Vast is building Haven-1, a single-module commercial space station that lays the groundwork for Haven-2, its multi-module successor to the ISS. The company raised $500 million this spring.

Next generation hardware companies will be built on a AI Native platforms:
- Agentic CAD
- Agentic physics sims
- Bot driven procurement
- rapid test loops.
This is the way of the future. Engineers will still engineer but just WAYYY faster

If one of the labs felt like spending a few trillion tokens ideating on novel launch concepts, the space industry would be very grateful 🙏🤓🙏
People should build more launch vehicles. There is an enormous sucking sound from the market that justifies many many efforts on this front.
Orbital compute will be >one trillion $ per year capex spend by 2035. There will be more than one launch company serving this. It’s not too late to get in the game, now is the time to build launch! 💪

The first step of any new startup should be to spend $100k on tokens to ruminate on the concept. New chips, new launch vehicles, new robots, etc etc all should have $100k tokens put into them as the very first step.

AI data centers in space? @Starcloud_ CEO @PhilipJohnston says launch costs need to fall from roughly $5,000 to $500 per kilogram for the economics to work.

Good luck with the Big Iron Express launch vehicle @BaijuBhatt and @CowboySpaceCorp team! We’d love a ride! 🚀🙌
