I am super excited to announce Starcloud’s partnership with Crusoe, builder of OpenAI’s massive Stargate data center, to enabling the first public cloud in space next year. This is the first step in a partnership that will see Starcloud providing energy for much larger Crusoe data centers over the coming years. Amazing to work with Cully Cavness, co-founder, president and COO of Crusoe who shared share: “By partnering with Starcloud, we will extend our energy-first approach from Earth to the next frontier: outer space." 👌🚀
