You can get more power from solar on the ground, cheaper, because it isn’t in space and they’ll get deorbited which is worse than vandalism because the entire thing is now gone.

I’m not disagreeing and saying they won’t do it, I’m just saying it’s an incredibly stupid idea.

Large data centres are used for a reason, it’s way more efficient to shove all the compute in one large building than putting it in space, at all.

Its a horrifically stupid idea, with no real benefit at absurd cost.

If it’s one rack it’s kinda pointless? And also absurdly more expensive than putting that one rack almost anywhere else in the world. And you can’t really fix or upgrade it. And then it’s in space and more susceptible to bit flips.

I’m not sure there’s a single thing it being in space does that’s better than it not being in space.
