I think we have an obligation to halt any development of data centers in space. While climate change is set to destroy our future, we can't afford to be focused on that bullshit.

Yes. Space: the final frontier of capitalism. By providing cheap access to space, Spacex was counting on new markets being created and everyone would want to launch their own satellite. Turns out the only use cases for space are science, war, and tourism. They need more than those industries offer to make their rocket systems worth it, so they've come up with the bullshittiest problem to solve, data centers IN SPACE
