    Ah yes because the cost savings on solar power in constant sunlight over nuclear reactors or solar with batteries definitely justifies the cost of launching hundreds of thousands of tons in to orbit, including the miles of radiators that will be needed to cool all this. Oh and definitely justifies the cost of having to hire astronauts as technicians to repair the thing when something goes wrong.

    The numbers for these data centers don’t even work on fucking earth, how does increasing the set up cost by an order of magnitude make this work?
