Prof. Sam LawlerTrying to edit a stupid FCC comment on Yet Another Fucking Stupid Orbital Data Center (fuck you, Blue Origin) and I need to go outside and rage-scream for a while. And I have an easily accessible hayfield to rage-scream in!! (Also maybe baby goats, I'll check for those too #BabyGoatCountdown)
Thelmadonna@sundogplanets Orbital data center? YHGTBFKM. Jeff should just repurpose his yacht and install a desalinator so the thing has enough water to run. And then some pirates should blow it up.
Jens Finkhäuser@thelmadonna @sundogplanets Oh no, the idea has been around for a while.
The sad part is that it's vaguely related to some decent ideas out there, like the notion of focusing on a "flying rack" kind of satellite design that can be better repurposed.
But no, flying DCs are not the best idea.
