Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin enters the space data center game

Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos, seeks U.S. approval for “Project Sunrise,” a network of over 50,000 satellites to serve as an orbital data center. This initiative aims to alleviate pressure on terrestrial resources by utilizing solar energy. Competing efforts include SpaceX's million-satellite plan and Google's Project Suncatcher, highlighting the growing interest in space-based computing solutions.
