Baiju Bhatt discusses Cowboy Space Corporation's mission (Part 2)

Board of Robinhood. So still pretty active in the finance broing, but yeah, I'm glad you guys played the video. So we're the Cowboy Space Corporation. I actually just moved to Seattle. Wow. Last week. Incredible. I didn't even know that we got to DM some restaurant wrecks. All right, guys, this is a Seattle coming out party right now. Yes. It's huge. I moved to Seattle to build a rocket. Like, I took my family and I moved them all out here. And yeah, I've been spending a lot of my time in the Kent Valley, which is really fricking far from Seattle. It turns out like that commute is God awful. But we have a gigantic warehouse space with a thesis of expanding humanity's footprint in outer space. We're building data centers in space. And actually at the event that we just had last week, we actually announced that we're going to be doing commercial launch as well. And it's called the Big Iron Express. We're going to get into why you named it the Big Iron Express. I guess we can call you Seattle neighbor now, but we want to talk about this business because you're kind of launching everything all at once. What's the rundown, Jack? Well, data centers in space. Yes. The ability to transmit that clean energy from the solar panels down to planet Earth using lasers, freaking laser beams and building rockets yourself to get it all up there. So a couple quick questions. First, why data centers in space? And second, did Cowboy Space win the election yesterday? Well, first of all, why data centers in space? I've been thinking about this actually for kind of a while. And back before we were ever a Cowboy space corporation, we were called Aetherflux for the first year, year and a half or so. And I'd been thinking about how to make energy economics from space make sense. And you guys will remember, this has got some parallels with the early days of Robinhood, right? It's like, how do you make the zero commission thing make sense? How do you take a business model where it's all about getting to rock bottom cost and build a product around it? And in the case of data centers in space, it's actually pretty similar. How can you produce the same thing that you'd be getting from the data center that would have been built in Texas from outer space at the same cost? Well, when we use AI, we pay for the outer.
