WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, 2025 — Amazon founder Jeff Bezos says the next major evolution in data infrastructure could take place off the planet.
Bezos, speaking at Italian Tech Week in Turin, predicted that “giant gigawatt data centers in space” could happen within the next 20 years.
“One of the things that’s going to happen next is we’re going to start building these giant gigawatt data centers in space,” Bezos said. “These giant training clusters will be better built in space because we have solar power there 24/7. There are no clouds, no rain, no weather. We’ll be able to beat the cost of terrestrial data centers in the next couple of decades.”
Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) joined the pile on by releasing a communications pricing report filled with partisan half-truths and bogus statistical inferences blaming Carr for fueling inflation
