Nvidia just sent an H100 GPU to space to test orbital data centers
Nvidia and startup Starcloud just launched an 80GB H100 GPU into orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to see if data centers can truly work in space. The chip is 100 times more powerful than any computer ever flown and will process radar images and run a Google LLM in orbit. If successful, orbital computing could bypass Earth's land, power, and water bottlenecks entirely.
