According to the International Energy Agency, the world’s data-crunching infrastructure is set to consume as much electricity by 2030 as the entire nation of Japan. Data centers also require enormous amounts of water for cooling—each day, a single 1-megawatt data center consumes as much water as about 1,000 people living in the developed world, World Economic Forum data suggests.

Also, goodbye stars, only datacenters and space junk now.

Ok, new app: estimate debris weight category, multiply with speed of debris, display dot size according to result.
