Putting data centers in space doesn't really make sense unless you think it puts them beyond the reach of the law.
@3psboyd I believe someday we will find out exactly how easy it is to intentionally destroy a satellite, and find out several governments have possessed the ability to do this for possibly decades, and the first time someone demonstrates the ability we will all pretend to be very surprised.

@mcc @3psboyd I know you were going for the assasin image, but the idea of a silencer for space is hilarious.

But yeah I'm pretty sure destroying satellites is actually really easy, and the reason we don't do it is because it is too easy and no one wants to kick that off.
