Caption: SpaceX Applies To Launch A Million Satellites For AI Power. Elon Musk’s company SpaceX applied for permission to launch up to one million satellites into Earth’s orbit in a bid to power artificial intelligence. In a filing submitted to the Federal Communications Commission, the company argued that so-called orbital data centres were the most cost-effective and energy-efficient way to meet surging demand for AI computing. It said processing needs were already exceeding the limits of land-based infrastructure. The plan would massively expand SpaceX’s existing Starlink system, which had already faced criticism over congestion in space — claims Musk previously rejected. The proposed network would use solar-powered satellites operating in low-Earth orbit, delivering computing capacity for billions of users worldwide. SpaceX also described the project as a step toward a Kardashev Type Two civilisation. Writing on X, Musk said the satellites would be so widely spaced they would be difficult to see from one another.
