@wintonARK: Space compute distilled Manufacture a 3 ton satellite with 100kW compute for $4m At $300 per kg it costs $1m to launch At $12b per GW in terrestrial compute competition the satellite can pull in $1.2m per year 3 to 4 year payback with the additional year before orbital decay producing excess cashflow. Launch that same satellite with an AI model attached and you can generate $3.6m to $7.2m in annual revenue (dependent upon your expectations for AI model monetization growth.) Payback period drops from 3-4 years to .5 - 1.
