OpenAI CEO once considered acquiring a rocket company to challenge SpaceX, revealing his vision for orbital data centers
According to The Wall Street Journal, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman considered acquiring the startup Stoke Space earlier this year. Stoke Space focuses on developing fully reusable rockets and is regarded as an emerging force with the potential to challenge Elon Musk’s SpaceX in the future. However, the potential deal ultimately did not materialize.
In recent years, Altman has continuously paid attention to the technological development of orbital data centers, hoping to reduce the environmental impact on Earth by moving data centers into space, while also providing more efficient and sustainable energy and infrastructure for the rapidly growing AI computing sector. This vision has driven him to invest in several companies exploring cutting-edge aerospace technologies.
