Wow. Project Suncatcher.

Description
In today’s episode, I talk about Google’s new “Suncatcher” project—a plan to build AI data centers in space. It’s an idea that once sounded like science fiction, but Google is now preparing real prototypes for launch in 2027.
I explore how these satellites could use constant sunlight to power AI, why formation flying and launch capacity will matter, and how this technology might change our daily digital life.
It’s not a technical deep dive—just a quiet reflection on how suddenly the future can feel close, and how even from a small shop in Ginza, these big shifts can make us pause and wonder.
