Blast off into the future with Jeff Bezos!


The Amazon founder is setting his sights on the stars, predicting that within the next 10 to 20 years, space-based data centers will be the new norm.


Imagine gigawatt-scale data hubs orbiting above us, harnessing the endless energy of the sun to outshine their Earth-bound counterparts. Talk about a stellar idea!


During a chat at Italian Tech Week, Bezos painted a vivid picture of this cosmic future. With AI and cloud computing demands skyrocketing, he believes space is the next logical step after the success of communication and weather satellites. The allure? Unlimited solar power means no need for cooling systems and a massive reduction in energy consumption.

But let’s not get lost in the Milky Way just yet. Challenges abound, from the hefty costs and risks of rocket launches to the tricky business of maintenance and upgrades in the great beyond. Yet, Bezos remains optimistic, likening today’s AI boom to the internet surge of the early 2000s. Sure, there might be speculative bubbles, but the potential benefits for society are astronomical.


This shift to space infrastructure isn’t just about data centers; it’s a broader trend aimed at enhancing life on Earth. By positioning the space industry to focus on essential services, Bezos is looking to the stars to solve our terrestrial challenges. So, property pros and business owners, keep your eyes on the skies—space might just be the next big thing in data!
