Why Datacenters in space?
1. Resistance from local communities, regulators and politicians for Terrestrial datacenters.
2. 24x7 solar power.
3. If Starship is successful, the cost to launch payload to orbit will be reduced by at least 100x. Launching cargo to orbit may cost less than a airline fraight from LA to Australia.

The Blue wave win, and potential datacenter construction freeze in Texas... this can be a huge win for Alberta.
Unlock the wealth, and build, build, build.
(With proper environment regulations)

My prediction.
Without US aid, Israel will buy less F-35 and instead invest more in drones.

The US aid to Israel that is expected to end next year is about 0.5% of the Israeli GDP.
The Israeli economy is expected to grow between 4.5% and 5.6% in 2026.

Blue wave pained the market red.

AI datacenter construction cost like 10 Apollo programs... and done by the private sector.
Insane.

Alberta has the energy. Silicon Valley has the algorithms.
The 2026 midterms are over. The people who just won (and lost) will spend the next two years fighting over the past.
The real contest is still open: who builds the cheap, reliable power and the compute capacity that actually shapes the next 20 years?
Who’s betting on that race right now — and who’s still stuck arguing about last night?

GM ... What's new and exciting?
