Amazon AWS CEO said that the concept of data centers in space is "quite far away from reality."
Amazon's cloud computing executive said that although many startups and company founders like Jeff Bezos have been pursuing the idea of space data centers, space data centers are still "quite far from reality". The explosive growth of artificial intelligence requires a lot of computing power and cooling systems, putting pressure on the capacity of land-based data centers. This has prompted cloud computing companies to consider alternatives, such as sending equipment to space where there are fewer problems on land. However, Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman said at a Cisco AI summit in San Francisco that the difficulty of sending servers, satellites, and other equipment into orbit makes this idea extremely difficult to achieve. "There are not enough rockets to launch one million satellites now, so we are still far from that goal," he said when asked about the idea. "If you think about the cost of sending payloads into space now, it's very expensive." "It's just not economical," he said.
