It's so interesting how this board understands nothing about technology or common sense like the idea that perhaps the guy who already runs thousands of computers in space has a slightly better idea than you about how to run computers in space. Radiators are simple, simpler than solar panels, you can inflate huge radiators if needed. With higher temperatures the efficiency increases. The idea isn't one huge datacenter it's thousands of smaller units integrated with the starlink network. If one leaks you decommission it. The limiting factor and highest expense for data centers is power generation, which is abundant in space. Launching a new satellite can easily be cheaper than running the same unit for a year on earth because per kw the power is free.⏱ 4h↩
