But more importantly, there is no heat dissipation in space. There’s no atmosphere to cool you, no water you can put heat into. Just an empty void. You can radiate a little, but the sun alone is enough to cook you, without you having a rack of GPUs inside your satellite.

It’s completely delusional to think you could operate a data centre in a void with nowhere to put the heat.

Do you honestly believe that nobody involved has ever considered that?

Apparently not, otherwise this silly idea wouldn't exist.

Naysayers probably get fired fast.
