Baby steps towards a Dyson Sphere [1].
Initially this is a satellite constellation around the earth but over a long enough timespan it’s a race to capture as much energy as possible from the sun.
And if this works you can imagine ASICs making their way up to space too since electricity makes up a large percentage of the operating costs.
If starship makes good on its promise to drive the cost of space access down 100x and we already have the research and designs for running servers efficiently in space (from this Google project eventually) then ASICs quickly follow.
