Todays interviewee is none other than Chuck Robbins, the CEO of networking giant Cisco. He believes that building data centers in space could be a game changer.

The reasoning? Space offers unlimited and unimpeded power from solar energy, eliminating concerns about local opposition or land use. With Elon Musk pushing for his own constellation, it’s clear the future of data storage may lie beyond our atmosphere.

However, the challenges are vast. Preparing technology to operate in space requires considering atmospheric issues, temperature, and most importantly, how to deal with cooling without the weight of bulky solutions on Earth. Cisco is already at work, but the journey has only just begun.

As we ponder this shift, one wonders if our internet will truly be boundless or merely moving its problems into outer space. The debate over data ownership and storage may soon have a cosmic dimension.
