Check out MIT SEI founder, @ariel_ekblaw in conversation with @nxthompson on how AI will transform how we think about space infrastructure. #AIDataCenters #SpaceStations #Ringworlds
This is one of the more interesting cases I’ve heard for why we should put AI data centers in space. Yes, it would benefit a few billionaires, but it could also lessen the environmental toll on Earth. And we’re going to need to cut AI's carbon footprint in as many ways as we can.
I had a terrific time talking to @ariel_ekblaw for the first episode of the new season of The Most Interesting Thing in AI. Ariel is a space architect—one of the coolest job titles I’ve heard—and an expert on a controversial idea in tech right now: AI data centers in space. We talked through how realistic it actually is, and got into lots of other topics, including what it will take to construct habitats in orbit and how soon humans might live on Mars. You can watch the full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=zBCK0G… Produced by @atlanticrethink, The Atlantic's creative marketing studio, in collaboration with @PwC.
Tune in now (5pm ET) for our #BeyondTheCradle event finale with six amazing astronauts on stage at the @MIT! @aurelia_labs Beyond.media.mit.edu
Visionary scientist and geneticist @geochurch sharing his vision for biopharma and synthbio in zero-g, in Orbital BioLabs, along with space industry star @VardaSpace’s @WillBruey on his in-space manufacturing and return capability. @NicoleWagnerPhD explaining @LambdaVision’s unique artificial retina technology and scale-up, and @Astro_Kate7 on her fascinating learnings as an expert Microbiologist conducting experiments in orbit! Watch the livestream: Beyond.media.mit.edu
Commercial space stations in orbit—when, how, and for whom?! Just wrapped up an amazing panel with @KamGhaffarian of @Axiom_Space, @Miyan_SH of @getmaxspace, and Marshall Smith of @voyagertech_ @Starlab_Space on the future of commercial endeavors in LEO Join the livestream at 12:30pm ET for the next session—announcement of the winner of our Aurelia Prize in Design for Space Urbanism! Beyond.media.mit.edu
It's MIT Space Week, our 10th annual Beyond the Cradle event, and the week of the stunning Artemis II mission lunar fly-by! There could not be a better moment for MIT President Dr Sally Kornbluth's remarks on doing frontier science, together. Houston, we are GO for launch! Watch the livestream at beyond.media.mit.edu
Join us tomorrow (April 8th) for Beyond the Cradle 2026 at @MIT ! In-person tickets are sold out, but you can still catch the mainstage talks via the livestream. Visit beyond.media.mit.edu tomorrow starting at 8:30am ET to find the embedded livestream. We’ll hear from astronauts, executives, entrepreneurs, artists, designers, and scientists who are at the vanguard of humanity’s horizons — and tune in at 12:30pm for the announcement of the winner of the inaugural Aurelia Prize in Design for Space Urbanism!

Yep, we're in space on the ISS. #HUMANS @Space_Station, @Axiom_Space #Space4All #GlobalExploration @medialab @MITMuseum Join the conversation.
This week, a nanowafer etched with voices from around the world was sent to the International @Space_Station. Join us for its historic unveiling in space + a live Q&A with the @MIT HUMANS team and astronauts aboard the ISS. 🚀 Sunday May 28, 10am: hubs.la/Q01QHz9n0
Join @MITMuseum on Sunday, 5/28, from 10-10:20 AM for Voices from Space: A Historic ISS Livestream with HUMANS — an MIT student-led project. For more, visit: ow.ly/KHU850OvIx9.
Dr. @ariel_ekblaw, founder of @ExploreSpace_ML, talks to @wired about #Ax2, which took two research payloads from MIT and the Media Lab to the @Space_Station—keep an eye on our social feeds this week for livestreams featuring these projects! wired.com/story/axiom-2-…
Woohooo!!! Congrats @Axiom_Space, and thank you for the ride. Can’t wait to see how our two @ExploreSpace_ML-supported payloads go in coming days, in collab with @johnpshoffner and his STEAM outreach program!
The second all-private astronaut mission has lifted off! Go #Ax2 #TeamAxiom
Go @SpaceX Go @Axiom_Space we’re flying today #Skinsuit #HUMANS @medialab @ExploreSpace_ML @MIT @MITAeroAstro
The #Ax2 crew is seated in the Dragon spacecraft and has completed their pre-launch checklist. ✔️comms ✔️seats rotated ✔️suit leaks ✔️ tray tables in full upright & locked position ✔️ seat belts correctly fastened NEXT: side hatch will close for flight.
Space exploration is not about abandoning earth, but elevating humanity—on earth and beyond, now and in the future. In this episode, @ariel_ekblaw outlines the tactical, strategic and visionary reasons that space exploration is going to benefit us all: link.chtbl.com/K2WQLT99
Learn more about @MIT @ExploreSpace_ML HUMANS project, nanowafer travelling to the ISS @Space_Station this month on board @Axiom_Space #Ax2 , and later to the Moon, carrying messages in 64 languages from over 80 countries @medialab news.mit.edu/2023/mit-human…
Maya and Rachel lead great teams, with many folks contributing to the two mission payloads/experiments! Learn more about SkinSuit here: media.mit.edu/projects/gravi…
On this most special of days—#May4thBeWithYou — we’re celebrating our @mit students who are part of the upcoming Axiom “Ax-2” ISS mission! Congrats @MayaNasr2 and Rachel Bellisle of @mitAeroAstro! Read about HUMANS project here, and stay tuned for more: axiomspace.com/news/ax2-steam…
On @StarTalkRadio, @ariel_ekblaw talks to @mattkirshen and @neiltyson about her work with @ExploreSpace_ML and Media Lab spinoff @aurelia_labs, both of which she founded, to create space habitats in which people can not only live, but thrive. youtube.com/watch?v=RQFrUH…
The future is here! @ariel_ekblaw told us all about the research @aurelia_labs is doing to create AI-driven, self-assembling space habitats. Would you live in a TESSERAE?
.@ariel_ekblaw, founder of the Space Exploration Initiative at @medialab, is no ordinary Earthling. She designs and builds habitats to enable more humans to live and work in space. inverse.com/science/ariel-…
