@utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets, my thoughts are on the biggest resource consumption of a datacenter: Cooling and Energy, which is very taxing right now on our existing capabilities.
We'd shift from constant CO2 emitting energy consumption on earth to solar in space and move away from using fresh water for cooling, which is becoming more and more scarce.
@ppulfer @utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets Yeah, Elon might get away with ignoring laws here on Earth but you can’t do that with the laws of physics. Space is not full of magical infinite solar energy or cooling.
This is just a grift to keep the investment for his companies flowing in.

What the actual fuck. It's not April Fools Day, right? This is real?! Fuck you, SpaceX. Maybe this will help regulators realize how fucking shortsighted companies' plans in orbit are?
Surely the FCC won't rubber-stamp-approve this one??... ONE MILLION STARLINKS FUUUUCCCKKKKKK
SpaceX Eyes 1 Million Satellites for Orbital Data Center Push
In a late Friday FCC filing, the company mentions deploying a staggering 'one million satellites' in orbits ranging from 500 kilometers to 2,000km.

@mycotropic @sundogplanets and orbital days centers are a horrible idea
@oblomov @mycotropic @sundogplanets this is clearly just advertising BS. In addition to being a generally bad idea, 500-1000 km is well into the Van Allen belts, so the radiation makes this even more stupid

@sundogplanets This is completely impossible to make work. Sounds more like a stock pump scam.

So here is thought experiment. Design an “Orbital data center” satellite. Solve all of the problems- solar power, heat rejection, telecom to the customers, radiation design life, launch, end of life disposal, maneuvering and attitude control. Now take that satellite and stick it in the Mojave dessert. Maybe you need more solar power due to atmospheric attenuation and longer “eclipses” (night), and you need protection from the elements, but otherwise everything I listed above can be eliminated or greatly simplified. And, if it breaks or you have made a design error, you can fix it. Why would you ever launch one of these?

@sundogplanets "Pump and dump" is the natural state of being for homo-muskiens.
He recently said that Tesla will soon be building a million humanoid robots a year.
It's the same game every time.
Musk distracts Tesla investors with fantastical Optimus hype
: To what end? Who knows? Tesla isn't even using them in its own factories yet

@sundogplanets @robpike lol data centers in space what a publicity stunt. Makes absolutely zero material sense.

@sundogplanets Isn't it obvious that speedrunning Kessler syndrome to no obvious benefit is how you become a multiplanetary species?
It's just science or something.
