Th= e brand-new city, Starbase, covers about one and a half square miles at t= he southern tip of Texas in a coastal spot nestled against the Mexico b= order. It is home to SpaceX headquarters and where the company builds its= boosters and engines and launches its Starship rocket on test flights. H= aving greater municipal control of the area could ease some of the bureau= cracy and restrictions around SpaceX's tests and rocket launches.=20 = ERIC SCHMIDT APPARENTLY BOUGHT RELATIVITY SPACE TO PUT DATA CENTERS IN OR= BIT (3 MINUTE READ) [10]=20 Eric Schmidt acquired Relativity Space to h= ave the capability to launch a significant amount of computing infrastruc= ture into space. Schmidt appeared before the House Committee on Energy an= d Commerce during a hearing in April and spoke about the need for more = electricity to power data centers to facilitate the computing needs for A= I development and applications. Space-based data centers would be powered= by solar panels and be able to radiate heat into the vacuum of space.

The technology c= ould theoretically be used to protect cities and infrastructure from ligh= tning damage. A wire is attached to the drone - when a switch is flicked,= a surge of electrical energy runs through the wire, grounding the drone = electrically. This allegedly increases the strength of the drone's surrou= nding electric field, triggering and attracting a lightning strike.

The company has been secretive about the project since it was unvei= led in 2019. The designs of the satellites remain unknown, but a fuzzy vi= deo released by Amazon on Friday revealed enough to make out their trapez= oidal shape.

Crow can search scientific literature and answer q= uestions about it, Falcon can conduct deeper literature searches, Owl loo= ks for previous work in a given subject area, and Phoenix uses tools to h= elp plan chemistry experiments.
