It was all systems go for SpaceX (SPCX) CFO Bret Johnsen at his first post-IPO investor conference this week.
The veteran SpaceX exec didn't disappoint on two important fronts.
For one, he finally put up a stronger timeline on launching data centers in space — or as the industry calls them, orbital compute satellites.
"We're actually targeting to fly our first orbital compute satellites next year," Johnsen said on Thursday at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Tech conference. "I think that will be an enormous moment when they start, and when everybody starts to see that we're putting up huge amounts of compute into space going into 2028, because that's the right way to do this anyway, and then everyone will see that the timeline is far shorter than people had expected."
