Above the Cloud: Building Data Centers in Space

Above the Cloud: Building Data Centers in Space

August 18, 2026 (7:30 AM - 9:30 AM) (PDT)

Description

The demand for AI data centers has reached a fever pitch - stressing the power grid and people's nerves. Does putting those data centers in space make any sense? 

Join Richard Campbell as he explores the challenges and potential of putting data centers into orbit. The balance of cost, performance, latency, power, cooling, and reliability makes for a difficult mix - but the potential for the future is significant!


SPEAKER

Richard Campbell has been playing with computers since the 1970s. He has done almost every job you can think of in computing, including manufacturing, sales, software development, helping to scale websites during the DotComBoom, and teaching software development all over the world. Along the way, he has been a part of several different technology companies: He was one of the founders of Strangeloop Networks, acquired by Radware in 2013, and a board member of Telerik, which Progress Software acquired in 2014. He makes the podcasts .NET Rocks, RunAs Radio, and a special series called the Geek Outs, where he explores science subjects, including space and the energy revolution. He has been a keynote speaker and guest lecturer at conferences worldwide, including a lecture on building bases on the Moon for NASA Ames in California.  Today Richard serves as the chairperson of Cloud Army, a consumer neuroscience company, as well as chair of the Humanitarian Toolbox, a charity focused on building open-source software for disaster relief and preparedness.
