Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

“I am a former NASA engineer/scientist with a PhD in space electronics. I also worked at Google for 10 years, in various parts of the company including YouTube and the bit of Cloud responsible for deploying AI capacity, so I'm quite well placed to have an opinion here.
The short version: this is an absolutely terrible idea, and really makes zero sense whatsoever.”

Have a look, @sundogplanets

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

@jodmentum @sundogplanets "but.. but.. musk is a genius! He's smrt an stuf! Buy moar stock! All his ideas are gold!"

Just don't look to hard at whose succesful idea it was he stole and drove into the ground, or just how high he was on ketamine when he came with the other not-successful ideas he didn't steal.

He stole tesla, and his big contribution was the cybertruck. Space X I think he just got lucky with, and they probably keep him away from anything explosive.

@Sablebadger @jodmentum @sundogplanets
I wouldn't say "got lucky" with SpaceX.

If NASA built rockets that exploded as often as his, they never would have landed a man on the moon.

#TheElongatedMuskrat put #DonnieDumbass in office b/c T**** is easily bought off (747's and fake awards) who will give you whatever you want for a price.

#Biden saw the danger of our entire space program dependent on an erratic nut like Musk and started courting Boeing. Thus, he had to go.
