Orbital data centers will enable data growth and efficiency many times greater than we have now. Re-useable rockets will make building them affordable and Starlink will be our way of connecting into them.

Together, this is going to revolutionize the way we think about data. It is the missing piece of the AI puzzle but here there is nothing but doomer posting and negativity about it. Why? It is clearly going to be the next bull run. Even before orbital mining.

Vacuum is a super-effective thermal insulator. Conduction and convection don't work in the vacuum of space.

There is also the issue of high-energy radiation. Space-grade electronics usually need to use triple redundancy or radiation-hardened circuitry to handle the effects of radiation. You can't simply use normal electronics in space.
>>
>>62278941
This, not only you lack heat dissipation but just a couple solar panels are also nowhere near enough to cover a datacenter wattage, you will need a bigass array.
Then you have the radation degrading the hardware very fast, plus irregular dangers like solar flares, meteorites and other space fuckery.

This is a very stupid idea.

So the least effective way at transferring heat is slighly better in space than on Earth?

I don't like to admit it, but there really is no reason for us to go to space and other planets asides from mere ambition and maybe some technological breakthroughs. Overpopulation will also take a while to become a real issue.

Gemini suggests the key engineering hurdle will be heat dissipation. Because of the vacuum of space, your only heat dissipation will be black body radiation, which is slow and requires heavy radiators, which makes launching that much more expensive.
Looks like hype for retards with a finished product years behind schedule and missing promised features, a la Cybertruck.
But the retards will say "muh TDS" and have faith. Must be nice at the head of a cult.

I am sure that he can overcome these insignificant hurdles now with the intellectual power of AI.

Tesla was also a meme stock that wasn't profitable until 10 years after their IPO but if you had bought then, you'd be up 34,000% on your investment.

it was public in 2010 and turned profits after 3 years. it's a similar scenario, but an inequivalent comparison. just because it rained yesterday does not mean it will rain today.
>>
>>62281489
>just because it rained yesterday does not mean it will rain today.
Sure but you're acting like it can't rain today based on variables that have never prevented it in the past, and in fact seem common to the situation before it happens.

Tesla became public in 2010, exactly at the beginning of one of the greatest bull runs ever on the entire stock market, while SpaceX will be public around the end of this bull market.

Also, Elon Musk is 16 years older and the market cap of both companies rely on the assumption that one single individual, Elon Musk, is going to be healthy and alive. If he dies after taking too many drugs or whatever, your investment loses 90% overnight.
>>
>>62281489
>turned profits after 3 years
Yeah, for a single quarter. It wasn't consistently profitable until 2020. For 10 years, it would have looked like you were a dumbass investing in vaporware.
>just because it rained yesterday does not mean it will rain today
No shit, Sherlock. I'm providing a counter-example to your idiotic assertion that a company that hasn't been profitable yet is a bad investment. There's much more that needs to be factored into that decision.

>Tesla became public in 2010, exactly at the beginning of one of the greatest bull runs ever on the entire stock market, while SpaceX will be public around the end of this bull market.
You guys have been predicting the end of the bull market since the beginning of the bull market.
And when it does eventually come, you'll act like you're some kind of guru because you predicted it would end in 2010 and 2011 and 2012 and 2013 and 2014 and 2015 and 2016 and 2017 and 2018 and 2019 and 2020 and 2021 and 2022 and 2023 and 2024 and 2025 and 2026

The bull market runs on the money printer and the bull market will end when the sovereign debt enters runaway.
If someone told you hyperinflation tomorrow in 2010 or great reset in 2025 that's a them problem.

Factually incorrect.

Deep space is actually 0 because there isn't any weather to make it colder. The problem with the waste heat is that if it's too close to earth it'll just reenter our atmosphere. It would actually be better if the data centers orbited the moon.
