After carefully reading about Musk's AI Space Computing Center, I was genuinely surprised by the American Academy of Engineering. I thought only China could buy honors with money.

First, let's set aside the overly technical discussion of radiation and heat dissipation in space, as this involves high school level knowledge in China, Europe, and Australia, and is far too complex for the relaxed American education system. By the way, can you Americans do something good instead of constantly causing trouble for the world? One million satellites—are you trying to pollute all the world's telescopes?

Let's talk about some very simple and straightforward topics.

First: Using small satellites similar to Starlink, equipped with AI computing modules. This sounds great, but considering that Starlink satellites, even without AI computing modules, consume nearly 3kW-5kW in their V2 mini form factor, the launched V3 Space AI would reach around 10kW-20kW. Solar panels would increase that by about 4-5 times.

In other words, you Americans would fill Earth's near-Earth orbit with glittering man-made objects, polluting the night sky for telescopes except in the North and South Poles. When did you Americans become so malicious? You're practically on par with China!

Second: Laser communication: I know none of you here have studied CCNA, and you all probably think laser communication is high-tech and sophisticated. However, lasers must also adhere to the speed of light, something you probably didn't learn in your high school "happy education." Adhering to the speed of light means that no matter how optimized, no matter how fast a laser is in a vacuum, its theoretical upper limit is the speed of light (sorry, this is a bit complicated; the theoretical upper limit means the value obtained under the optimal physical conditions). With so many satellites performing calculations, the latency of laser communication is definitely greater than the latency at a data center in Canada, even though fiber optic latency is 3 to 4 times that of space. But please note, even so, a data center in Canada is still faster.

Third: Low Earth orbit is dangerous. Musk said he wants to launch 1 million satellites. Although our low Earth orbit seems vast—after all, it's twice the area of ​​the Earth compared to the combined area of ​​the US and Canada—1 million satellites in space are just Earth garbage. Do you Americans want our children to see countless bright spots slowly moving across the sky in the future?

Why don't you just be responsible Earth citizens? I even think the Chinese government is right; you Americans are indeed hegemonic.

Finally, there's a region in your neighboring Canada called the Yukon Territory. It's cold there, has coal, and while it's a bit far from the US, it's not too far either. Land prices are also very cheap. I heard the Canadian government has already approved your data center project. Why don't you build a data center there? Don't let the Chinese government continue to scorn you.

Be a decent human being, America. It's really not that hard.
