you're all so clueless with these arguments. there's 5x the solar power in space. it's all about how many watts of compute you can bring online. in a sun synchronous orbit there is 24-hr solar power. there is no weather or maintenance.

So deploy 5x as many on container ships, and pretend you launched them into space. That gives you the "no maintenance" part.

As for weather, OK, fine, whatever. Deploy 6x as many.
