Why Space Data Centers Are More Efficient
Sending massive computing power into orbit isn't science fiction—it solves some of the most intractable problems facing terrestrial data centers.
Here are the reasons why space data centers are far more efficient:
• Cooling
On Earth, cooling is one of the biggest cost and limiting factors. Data centers consume vast amounts of energy and water to dissipate heat. In space, heat can be directly radiated into the cold, vacuum environment. This is a fundamentally superior thermal environment.
• Power
Solar energy in orbit is continuous and more intense (no clouds, no night in some orbits, and no atmospheric loss). Each solar panel can generate more reliable power than on Earth.
• Scale
Earth has many limitations—land, local power grids, water resources, and community opposition. Space has none of these limitations. Once it becomes possible to launch large numbers of objects at low cost using starships, computing can be scaled far beyond what is practically feasible on Earth.
• Abundant Energy
The sun produces far more energy than human civilization currently consumes. Even capturing just a tiny fraction of that energy in space for artificial intelligence computing could revolutionize the landscape of AI computing expansion.
The main trade-off is latency, so real-time applications may still need to remain on Earth. However, for training large models, batch processing, and latency-insensitive workloads, orbital data centers offer significant structural advantages.
Low-cost launch + abundant solar energy + easy heat dissipation = new limits to the scalability of AI computing.

A dinner party brought together half of the world's core semiconductor industry leaders.
South Korean President Lee Jae-myung hosted a banquet in San Francisco, meeting with a host of tech giants.
Attending international figures included: Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Broadcom's Hock Tan, and Microsoft's Rani Borkar; South Korea's four major domestic leaders were all present: Samsung's Lee Jae-yong, SK Hynix's Chey Tae-won, Hyundai's Chung Eui-sun, and Naver's Lee Hae-jin.
In the video footage, Jensen Huang is seen proactively offering a toast as a gesture of goodwill.
The underlying signal: South Korea is forging alliances with North American AI computing giants, finalizing long-term cooperation with HBM's memory and chip supply chains. A new round of competition for memory chips and high-end computing power orders is highly likely.

South Korea may very well be poised for a major victory this time.
South Korean President Lee Jae-myung brought along almost all of South Korea's most influential business leaders on his recent trip to the United States.
Samsung's Lee Jae-yong, SK's Chey Tae-won, Hyundai's Chung Eui-sun, and Naver's Lee Hae-jin were all present; seated opposite them were Jensen Huang, Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Broadcom CEO Hock Tan.
The announced cooperation plans totaled $950 billion, approximately 6.9 trillion yuan.
Samsung and Broadcom signed a five-year, $200 billion MOU for advanced memory and AI chip manufacturing; SK is advancing a $750 billion long-term cooperation with Nvidia and other companies, involving HBM, next-generation chips, and AI data centers. There is also approximately 5GW of data center cooperation, equivalent to the computing scale of about 2 million B200 GPUs.
It needs to be clarified that these are mainly supply cooperation and MOUs for the next five years, not the $950 billion already received. However, the scale is still staggering.
South Korea didn't bet everything on creating another ChatGPT; instead, it tightly integrated its strongest capabilities—memory chips, manufacturing, robotics, and data centers—with its global AI expansion.
Regardless of which model wins in the future, South Korea aims to become an indispensable supplier.

Justin Sun is in trouble, and so is Huobi.
The EU has added Justin Sun's HTX and Huobi Global S.A. to its sanctions list against Russia, listing exchanges associated with Sun as one of 18 cryptocurrency service providers accused of helping Russian users circumvent Western restrictions and transfer funds. The list prohibits EU operators from trading with HTX, but no asset freezes have been imposed.
It seems foreigners are targeting Chinese people now, after targeting CZ (Chengdu's founder).

It felt like half of the semiconductor industry was present at this dinner. Yesterday, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung hosted a banquet for several tech giants in San Francisco, and the video alone showed Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Broadcom's Hock Tan, and Microsoft's Rani Borkar.
Meanwhile, the "South Korean F4"—Samsung's Lee Jae-yong, SK Hynix's Chey Tae-won, Hyundai's Chung Eui-sun, and Naver's Lee Hae-jin—were also in attendance. Jensen Huang even proactively toasted the leaders.

Justin Sun revealed two bombshell details in an interview, his operational strategy leaving viewers speechless:
1. He invested $100 million in Trump Coin, the most expensive token he's ever bought, solely to secure a top-tier VIP seat at a dinner party and capitalize on the hype.
Regarding industry regulation, he frankly stated his strategy: neither direct confrontation nor abrupt halts, but rather a gradual, strategic approach, leveraging multiple identities to circumvent restrictions.
Even more dramatic is the widely circulated story: on his way to a Trump event, he briefly went to the restroom, where he sold all his Trump Coins, cashing out at the peak and exiting perfectly.
From beginning to end, it was all about traffic arbitrage: investing heavily to create hype, then immediately cashing out once the hype subsided—every step was meticulously calculated.

Suddenly, it dawned on me that Sun's ex-girlfriend's biggest mistake wasn't failing to keep him, but rather not going all-in on Bitcoin.
Sun's ex-girlfriend was also a veteran player who entered the market in 2017.
A few years ago, she was only trading altcoins and even doing futures. She suffered margin calls and lost control of her emotions.
She also bought some useless real estate in Japan.
She should have gone all-in on several thousand Bitcoins back then.
She only showed them to Sun, but didn't use them herself.
Maybe Sun wouldn't have said they were too different, and they could have broken up amicably.
Now she might still be calling him "Sweetie" every day.
The tragedy lies in not going all-in on Bitcoin back then.

The story of U.S. Treasury Secretary John Bessen is a living embodiment of the American Dream.
Born in 1962 into an ordinary family in South Carolina, Bessen, at the age of nine, worked as a waiter in restaurants and set up sun umbrellas on the beach after his father went bankrupt in real estate, living off tips. He later became a strong supporter of Trump's "no tip tax" policy.
After graduating from high school, he attended Yale University, majoring in political science. He initially wanted to be a journalist but switched to finance. Starting with small companies, he interned with legendary investor Jim Rogers before joining the Soros Fund. In 2015, he founded his own hedge fund, managing global investments, and is now worth approximately $600 million.
He is a long-time supporter and campaign economic advisor to Trump. On January 28, 2025, he will be sworn in as U.S. Treasury Secretary.
From a nine-year-old working boy to a billionaire and then a high-ranking government official—this is the American Dream.
