    None of this is going to happen.

    Multiple articles have come out in the past week with techbros blathering about putting giant stacks of power-hungry compute in fucking orbit, and not a single one of them has explained how a) any of it is going to be cooled and b) how any of it will be even remotely (as in, within 2 orders of magnitude) cost-competive with data centers on the ground.

    This is a scam seeking to part extremely rich fools from their money.

    I am ok with this but the life cycle on the GPUs is much shorter than a normal satellite. Free power via solar instead of coal is awesome.
