SO WHAT
In the thousand-day window, this is a bet that intelligence logistics can decouple from Earth’s constraints, forcing new choices about access, control, and who owns the sky’s compute.
A new satellite mission will evaluate whether AI data centers can operate in orbit. Signal: the old system is hunting non-terrestrial infrastructure to keep scaling under the inversion.
This is Negative Resistance’s reframed reading of a reported signal. The headline and analysis above are our interpretation through the thousand-day-window lens. The original reporting lives at the source linked above.
