David George, partner at Andreessen Horowitz and a SpaceX investor, said Starship's rapid reusability is critical to Elon Musk's vision of expanding AI compute via orbital data centers. He said once Starship is operational, extending AI capacity to space would be inevitable as terrestrial data-center capacity becomes constrained, describing future satellites as "aircraft-sized GPU racks." George added orbital data centers would at minimum supplement ground facilities and could ultimately be economically superior, and that SpaceX has demonstrated the technical ability to deploy such systems.

Ukraine said it has received the first tranche of a €3.2 billion loan from the EU, which has been recorded in the state budget. The funds will be used to strengthen defence capabilities and shore up social resilience.
