马斯克不讲武德!月球造卫星工厂,OpenAICEO:十年内绝不可能!
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2026-02-26 11:16
一、月球弹弓:天才构想还是科幻狂想? "在太空部署AI数据中心,成本比地球低10倍。"马斯克的这句话,戳中了当前AI发展的最大痛点——算 力需求爆炸与地球资源有限的矛盾。传统数据中心占全球电力消耗的3%,散热成本更是天文数字,而 月球的低重力、零大气阻力、24小时太阳能,理论上是完美的"太空算力基地"。 但现实的挑战足以让任何工程师头疼:如何在月球建立电磁弹射器?要知道,地球上最先进的电磁弹射 器(如航母用)只能推动30吨物体,而马斯克需要把成百上千颗卫星加速到每秒11.2公里的逃逸速度。 更难的是卫星组装厂——月球没有工业基础,所有设备都需从地球运送,成本堪比"用黄金铺路"。奥尔 特曼的质疑并非没有道理:"发射成本、维护难度、辐射防护,每个问题都是一座大山。" 不过,马斯克的"疯狂"向来有技术支撑。SpaceX的星舰已实现火箭回收,成本降低90%;星链卫星通过 规模化生产,单颗成本从100万美元压到5万美元。或许,月球计划不是"空中楼阁",而是他用"迭代思 维"撬动太空的又一步险棋——先发射小型试验装置,再逐步扩建,就像星链从60颗卫星到如今1000万 用户的扩张路径。 当所有人还在讨论"元宇宙是不是泡沫" ...

而太空是天生的"AI算力天堂":无遮挡、无昼夜,太阳能效率是地球5倍,无需电池储备,24小时供电,天然低温省掉冷却成 本,还有无限空间、零行政限制,彻底解决地球数据中心的所有痛点。马斯克直言:"能让AI无限制成长的,只有太空。" 2026年最炸裂的科技预言,当属马斯克的最新豪言!近日,他在一档全球播客节目中当着亿万观众的面放狠话:"36个月内, 最多不超过30个月,AI最具经济吸引力、最该扎根的地方,一定是太空!到那时,在太空部署AI的成本,会便宜到碾压地球 所有方案!"这绝非天马行空的脑洞,而是马斯克带着完整产业蓝图的实力豪赌,一场足以颠覆全球算力格局的革命,已然进 入紧张的倒计时阶段。 这一切的核心原因,说出来既扎心又现实:地球,已经撑不起AI的高速扩张野心了!长久以来,我们都陷入了一个认知误区, 总以为芯片短缺是制约AI发展的最大瓶颈,殊不知,隐藏在背后的"致命拦路虎",其实是电力供应。全球电力供应早已陷入增 长停滞的困境,而AI算力的需求却在以几何级数暴涨,大型数据中心的电费、冷却费高到惊人,甚至有科技巨头公开坦言,再 这样下去,自身的算力扩张计划,迟早会被高昂的电费彻底拖垮。 面对外界"太空设备难以 ...
目标浩瀚星空的SpaceX盯上智能手机! “星链直连终端”或将通信推向卫星纪元
智通财经网· 2026-02-05 14:09
智通财经APP获悉,有媒体援引知情人士透露的消息报道称,Starlink(即星链)——马斯克创立的估值高 达1.5万亿美元太空探索巨头SpaceX旗下的卫星互联网子业务,可能会大规模切入智能手机市场以及全 球C端通信服务市场,提供直连终端(direct-to-device)互联网服务以及一项太空跟踪服务。 媒体援引至少三位知情人士透露的消息报道称,该计划包括打造一款可连接其Starlink卫星级别互联网 星座的移动端高性能智能设备,可能与智能手机形成竞争。该设备的具体设计细节以及马斯克主导的移 动智能设备产品开发计划尚不清楚。 毋庸置疑的是,为拔高SpaceX估值,Starlink力争从"卫星宽带业务"全面升级为"面向移动终端的全球通 信平台":一方面继续做B端(与运营商合作的直连卫星通信手机/补充覆盖),另一方面开始探索更强的C 端服务抓手——即可能大规模退出的"Starlink专属智能手机"、C端用户直连终端上网,甚至有可能退出 面向政府/企业的订阅式太空目标跟踪服务。 知情人士告诉该媒体,马斯克旗下的这家卫星与火箭公司多年来一直有与智能手机相关的重大计划。上 周,有X用户询问是否可能推出Starlink ...
全面碾压?中国申请20万颗卫星1个月后,马斯克直接申请100万颗
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2026-02-03 15:22
去年12月月底的时候,根据我国相关媒体发布的消息可以得知,我国一口气向国际电信联盟申报了超过20万颗卫星频轨资源,此次申报数量为史无前例,一 方面代表了中国航天低轨发射事业开始进入高峰期,另外一方面也说明在大国博弈的层面上,我国在这个领域必须要采取相应的反制手段了。 然而就在我国申请20多万颗卫星频轨资源刚刚一个月后,马斯克旗下的SpaceX就对外发出了重磅消息:该公司已经向美国联邦通信委员会直接申请部署100万 颗卫星,为自己未来打造太空数据中心奠定基础。 而对此,该公司的创始人马斯克则公开回应: 我们将先从小规模做起,然后再逐步扩大规模。这些卫星看起来数量很大,但实际上相距甚远。以至于从一颗卫星很难直接看到另一颗卫星。太 空是如此的浩瀚,简直令人难以想象。 低轨道卫星频轨资源,目前国际上奉行的是先到先得的原则,在此基础上,马斯克的这家公司已经获得了绝对优势的资源,我国属于后来者,为了尽可能的 打破该公司的垄断,只能够采用这种大规模申请,大规模通过的方法尽可能的得到一定的资源,以确保在未来的发展中不会被美国直接垄断掉。而我国的这 个做法,迅速就引起了美国和马斯克方面的关注,这次直接申请100万颗卫星就是在中 ...
