What advantage does space provide at all?

You have to transport heavy great into a place with no cooling capacity... What?

Nationalize it. Take his company, his wealth and jail him for his crimes.

Datacenters on the bottom of the sea are useless because of the difficulties of hardware maintenance and the snake oil salesman is trying to sell out space datacenters now.

I guess this is insurance for when the bubble pops. It helps justify the "too big to fail"

"Now they have to bail me out."

Uh oh, vibe-engineered rockets.

A million satellites he says. That's 100 satellites per starship launch. 5 times per day, every day, for five years. By the time you're done, the first ones are burned out and you have to do it all again. And that's assuming one GPU per satellite because solar panels even in space can't pull enough power to feed multiple of those hungry things.

Data centers in space sounds like one hell of an expensive investment for something that has not once shown any profitability yet, and are in fact most likely about to burst its bubble in the near future.

How little of an understanding of how the natural world works do you need to have to think that data centers in space are a good idea? Nothing to say of economics and logistics. Or am I missing something big here?
