In Episode 78 of The Atomic Exchange Podcast, Dr. Goran Calic and Jen Ward sit down with orbital data center experts Jason Aspiotis and Gert Willemse to separate hype from reality. Beyond the Elon Musk headlines, they explore the real use cases already driving this technology, from military intelligence to disaster response, and why time-sensitive space data matters more than offloading terrestrial AI compute. They dig into whether space real estate will become winner-take-all, what a cloud tech stack in orbit might look like, and the true unit economics competing against ever-cheaper terrestrial chips. They also raise overlooked questions around space debris and environmental impact.
