Elon Musk Eyes Moon Facility, Catapult to Send AI Satellites Into Orbit

Musk has described a proposed facility that would include a massive catapult designed to launch satellites into space, according to The New York Times.

During a recent staff meeting at artificial intelligence company xAI, CEO Elon Musk reportedly told employees that he wants to build an AI satellite factory on the moon, according to The New York Times. Musk also said he wants a giant catapult at the factory that would launch those satellites into space.

A representative for xAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment but this wouldn’t be the first time the tech mogul has toyed with the idea of moving operating facilities to space.

«Current advances in AI are dependent on large terrestrial data centers, which require immense amounts of power and cooling,» Musk said in a statement after his companies SpaceX and xAI merged. «Global electricity demand for AI simply cannot be met with terrestrial solutions, even in the near term, without imposing hardship on communities and the environment. In the long term, space-based AI is obviously the only way to scale.»

And this «space-based AI» could happen sooner rather than later if it’s up to the billionaire.

«By far the cheapest place to put AI will be space in 36 months or less,» Musk reportedly said during a recent appearance on the podcast Cheeky Pint.

If the moon mission is successful, Musk seems to have his eye on establishing a colony on Mars next. For years, he has described involvement with Mars as a necessary step in safeguarding humanity’s future, framing space colonization as a necessary backup plan and the next frontier of exploration.
