What the actual fuck.@utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets, I agree, that would be a great option as well and is supposedly our current policy. Reality is different though: Datacenters and municipals are signing NDA's, so that the public never really know what the impact on current population. At least in space they would have no other option.

What the actual fuck.@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.

What the actual fuck.@utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets, no worries.
Indeed, a much harder challenge but image the outcome if we would normalize this?Tbf, I think we're not there yet and the announcement is more like a distraction but I'd welcome the actual technological outcome.

What the actual fuck.@sundogplanets, why is this a problem? Datacenters in space would eliminate a lot of problems like access to free solar energy, cooling, etc.
For example, datacenters are being constructed with massive discounts by councils/municipals and in turn, water and electricity bill of residential area gets higher to pay that offset of costs.
