Schmidt's Space Data Center Ambitions: Investing in Relativity Space

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's investment in Relativity Space aims to leverage their Terran R rocket to launch massive data centers into space. This ambitious project seeks to address the growing energy demands and environmental concerns of AI data centers. While Terran R is still under development and faces challenges, its potential payload capacity makes it a compelling option. Schmidt is seeking additional partners to fund this project, which also needs to address concerns about orbital congestion, power generation, and heat dissipation.
