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 There's no sound in space but he thinks the silencer is important for the aesthetics of the deed.

@3psboyd @mcc I chuckled when I read this because I thought of Clint Eastwood's scowl as he watches the satellite drift away in pieces.

I've heard one on the range before and it sounded like a rapid "fmpt fmpt fmpt."
