A refrigerator in space and infrastructure thinking

There is a space startup with a particularly interesting idea. They do not build rockets or launch satellites. Instead, they want to build tugboats in space. Simply put, today’s rockets can easily send things into low Earth orbit, but sending them farther into geostationary orbit is outrageously expensive. Their idea is to build a transfer station in space dedicated to ferrying satellites to their final positions.

This reminds me of enterprise IT architecture today. We are always obsessed with the latest large models and the flashiest application layers, but we often ignore logistics costs. The company’s core technology is actually solving liquid hydrogen storage in space. Put plainly, they are building a very powerful space refrigerator to prevent fuel from evaporating.

For enterprises, your data governance and compute scheduling are that space refrigerator. If the underlying infrastructure cannot hold up, then no matter how fast the applications above it run, the cost will evaporate like that liquid hydrogen and keep you awake at night. Infrastructure may not sound sexy and may even feel boring, but it is a business with certainty.
