Beyond the cloud — storing data in space
Manage episode 485674582 series 58
Researchers and corporations are already working to relocate data servers beyond the Earth's atmosphere — on satellites.
Data servers are essential to the functioning of the modern world, but they're both power and water hungry. When they're built, they often meet with community concern and environmental protest.
So, why not build data centres in space where solar energy is abundant? What could possibly go wrong?
Finally, we discuss how artificial intelligence is changing the way we write by providing tools for editing, improving clarity, and suggesting new ideas.

Dr Steven Freeland — Emeritus Professor, Western Sydney University and Professorial Fellow, Bond University
Dr Daniel Murphy — Program Lead, Aerosol Properties and Processes, NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (US)
