Orbital files plans for 100,000 orbital data centers

A six person team with five months of runway filing plans for 100,000 satellites sounds absurd until you remember the actual engineering claim is refreshingly modest, first principles physics and manufacturing, with launch cadence as the hard part. This is the purest distillation of 2026 AI-adjacent startup ambition, wildly overscoped on paper, quietly betting the whole thing on someone else's rocket working on schedule. File this under fun to watch, not safe to fund.
