Google and SpaceX are in talks to build data centers in orbit, pitching space as the future home for AI compute, even as costs today remain far higher than on the ground.
If someone knows the specifics on them I would be happy to know, but I feel like there is a lot more heat generated in a data center, of any useable size, than could feasibly be cooled using radiators.
I would like to add a bullet point to your issues since I’m not sure solar would be good enough to sustain such an orbital. Once again I am only surmising and would like to hear if I am way off base.
