Foreign media: Chinese experts do not agree with Musk's idea of sending AI data centers into space, believing that China should focus on more practical near-Earth orbit computing.
A researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences pointed out that space data centers face practical bottlenecks such as high launch costs, difficult heat dissipation, and complex maintenance. Meanwhile, ground chip technology is rapidly evolving and can already meet current needs. China is more suitable for developing short-term, practical applications such as satellite edge computing, rather than chasing Musk's radical concepts.
Previously, SpaceX, Musk's company, applied to the Federal Communications Commission in January this year to deploy up to 1 million satellites, planning to operate them as orbital data centers.
Chinese experts emphasized that space AI needs to weigh technical feasibility against economic returns, and blindly following trends may waste resources.
