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?

Raditors. Starlink v3 can in theory already shed 20Kw of heat. But they would need to figure out how to 5x that and keep things profitable.

It would be 20kW for each rack or two. The types of data centre deal they talk about these days are measured in GW of compute. That’s 50,000x just for 1GW.

These aren’t big things, they’re small satellites. They’re going to be ~100kW
