British astronaut Tim Peake envisions an era where data centers in space become a reality, and he’s a man on a mission as he partnered with Axiom Space to make orbital AI farms a viable option.

I met Peake recently at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where he has been an ambassador for FOS’s Future Lab, an immersive STEM-focused exhibition covering robotics, mobility, and space, for the past eight years.
