Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins ‘absolutely’ wants to put data centers in space

• Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins says he’s already exploring how to send data centers to space
• OpenAI’s Sam Altman sees it as a “pipe dream,” Elon Musk is optimistic
• Space-bound data centers would tackle a lot of the current issues

Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins has revealed his company execs are already discussing plans to put data centers in space.

Robbins clearly backs the idea, noting that space could remove some of Earth’s key constraints like power, cooling and land availability. Abundant solar energy and fewer community objections are among the highlights (though a different type of objection would likely occur).
