    God, don't get me started on orbital data centers.

    Either you cause kessler syndrome by launching a million microsats, or, you just I guess invent scifi level orbital engineering, and come up with a scifi solution for thermal regulation.

    Also like, server data centers require, you know, on site maintenance.

    ... its a very dumb, expensive idea.
