Greetings Earthlings, from 50+ scientists, engineers, artists, and designers building our sci-fi space future! Join us in bringing 'Starfleet Academy' to life.
This is one of the more interesting cases I’ve heard for why we should put AI data centers in space. Yes, it would benefit a few billionaires, but it could also lessen the environmental toll on Earth. And we’re going to need to cut AI's carbon footprint in as many ways as we can.
Space architect @ariel_ekblaw and I went deep on the opportunities—and many challenges—of building AI infrastructure in orbit. Watch our conversation here: https://t.co/8QUu1wbt6Z

I had a terrific time talking to @ariel_ekblaw for the first episode of the new season of The Most Interesting Thing in AI. Ariel is a space architect—one of the coolest job titles I’ve heard—and an expert on a controversial idea in tech right now: AI data centers in space. We talked through how realistic it actually is, and got into lots of other topics, including what it will take to construct habitats in orbit and how soon humans might live on Mars.

It's MIT Space Week, our 10th annual Beyond the Cradle event, and the week of the stunning Artemis II mission lunar fly-by! There could not be a better moment for MIT President Dr Sally Kornbluth's remarks on doing frontier science, together.
Houston, we are GO for launch! Watch the livestream at https://t.co/VGlrD67cF8
Join us tomorrow (April 8th) for Beyond the Cradle 2026 at @MIT ! In-person tickets are sold out, but you can still catch the mainstage talks via the livestream. Visit https://t.co/VGlrD67cF8 tomorrow starting at 8:30am ET to find the embedded livestream.
We’ll hear from astronauts, executives, entrepreneurs, artists, designers, and scientists who are at the vanguard of humanity’s horizons — and tune in at 12:30pm for the announcement of the winner of the inaugural Aurelia Prize in Design for Space Urbanism!

Woohooo!!! Congrats @Axiom_Space, and thank you for the ride. Can’t wait to see how our two @ExploreSpace_ML-supported payloads go in coming days, in collab with @johnpshoffner and his STEAM outreach program!
Space exploration is not about abandoning earth, but elevating humanity—on earth and beyond, now and in the future.
In this episode, @ariel_ekblaw outlines the tactical, strategic and visionary reasons that space exploration is going to benefit us all:

Learn more about @MIT@ExploreSpace_ML HUMANS project, nanowafer travelling to the ISS @Space_Station this month on board @Axiom_Space#Ax2 , and later to the Moon, carrying messages in 64 languages from over 80 countries @medialab https://t.co/uR7TJMyu3z
Maya and Rachel lead great teams, with many folks contributing to the two mission payloads/experiments! Learn more about SkinSuit here: https://t.co/K3y0azDlvl
On this most special of days—#May4thBeWithYou — we’re celebrating our @mit students who are part of the upcoming Axiom “Ax-2” ISS mission! Congrats @MayaNasr2 and Rachel Bellisle of @MITAeroAstro! Read about HUMANS project here, and stay tuned for more: https://t.co/WAa61JQU0l
The future is here! @ariel_ekblaw told us all about the research @aurelia_labs is doing to create AI-driven, self-assembling space habitats. Would you live in a TESSERAE?
.@ariel_ekblaw, founder of the Space Exploration Initiative at @medialab, is no ordinary Earthling. She designs and builds habitats to enable more humans to live and work in space. https://t.co/SOycLI747H
