lemmydividebyzeroDatacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.
My question is always how the hell are you going to cool them. Do you know hard it is to move heat in a vacuum?
With radiators just like with every existing satellite system.
Very large scale datacenters would likely have some nasty fluid handling problems to solve.
Why Everyone Is Talking About Data Centers In Space
Have you seen the size of the radiators on the ISS ? And that’s just what needed for cooling of body heat for 9 people and basic computer and support equipment.
A data center that is actively pumping out massive amounts of heat would need humongous radiator panels.
fallaciousBasisThey’re called fins. Not panels.
