Terrestrial data centers face insurmountable energy, water, and regulatory constraints; space-based solar provides unlimited power at $500/kg launch break-even (vs $50/kg for space-based solar). Starship's 3-ships/day production enables 1000x launch capacity, making 88,000-satellite constellation (20GW+) economically viable. First commercial product StarCloud 2 (10kW) serves gov/military; StarCloud 3 (200kW) targets hyperscalers by 2028.
