Just because something is physically possible doesn’t mean it’s more economically viable than terrestrial DCs.

If it’s not a Costco style structure what is it? A hundred thousand satellites each carrying a GPU rack? With giant cooling + solar arrays? And who’s going to maintain them if not robots? Astronauts? How are the satellites gonna talk to each other? Super long fiber optic cables? How exactly are they going to replicate a compact datacenter up there?

How much does each of these satellites cost? Both to manufacture and launch? How much is the maintenance cost?

I think the post IPO stock price performance speaks for itself. If you think it’s a good idea, you should invest, in fact I encourage it.
