Space Minds Podcast: Delian Asparouhov and Philip Johnston Make the Case for Orbital Data Centers (Because Where Else Would You Store Your Cat Videos?)

In a recent episode of SpaceNews’ Space Minds podcast, recorded live from the publication’s orbital data center event, host Jeff Foust chats with Founders Fund’s Delian Asparouhov about why he’s finally warming up to the idea of putting data centers in space. Yes, because storing your cat videos on Earth is so last century.

In the second half, Jeff chats with Philip Johnston, CEO of Starcloud, presumably about how to keep servers from floating away. The weekly podcast, hosted by David Ariosto, Mike Gruss, and other SpaceNews journalists, promises new episodes every Thursday on SpaceNews.com, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple channels - because if you’re not watching space news on your phone while standing in line for coffee, are you even living?
