Isn't this cooler than Musk's autonomous cars and subways?

The idea is that you won't need cooling and you save space on earth. Not sure how physical troubleshooting would work though.

Long range mechanical arms. NASA's gateway project has something of such, Musky could just buy an advanced arm from the company that gave them.

Is solar enough to power a data centre? Reduced need for energy because of no more cooling, but still can't see it happening unless every data centre is attached to a massive satellite solar farm.

thats really cool. seems easier than keeping it submerged in water for a long time.
space elevators tier.

uhhh you would absolutely need cooling
getting rid of heat is harder in space, not easier, because the vacuum means you can only dump it by radiating it which is very slow compared to transferring the heat into air or water

We're not running out of space for data centers on Earth. If there's a limited resource of something, it's electricity and computer chips.

lol
you know cooling electronics on earth is done by conduction right?
what is there to conduct heat in space?

is there literally any advantage to this at all? cooling maybe?

if you really need cooling and for you data center to not take up space it would be infinitely easier to build it at the bottom of the ocean. But that’s more obviously retarded and doesn’t sound cool so no venture capitol money

Not a big advantage, the supposed advantage was power
>won't need cooling
Radiation's the only way to get rid of heat in space and it fucking sucks. You'd need a fucking huge radiator. Probably about the same size as the solar panels used are bigger. Unlike solar panels, the only practical radiators we know of need plumbing. So you need a HUGE area of pipes that can leak when hit by space junk. Because it's big, we'll you're gonna get lots of collisions and leaks. Solar panels can tank a bullet or too, but so far pipes can't. So either we need weird self healing pipes, repair bots that can seal up the leaks, or some new ways to make radiators that can basically withstand hundreds of bullet shots a year

>instead of having data centers on earth where they could be vulnerable to a Stasi archive raid they'll have them up in space so no goycattle can reach it while they spy and gather data
I hope it blows up in their face through electrostatic discharge on the moon or from a massive solar storm. Nevermind cooling.

The only benefit of this slop is it might pave the way for space colonization with the tech involved, but it's very doubtful they'll ever go down that path.

economic viability of sending an astronaut every time something breaks?

Why? Cooling in space is ridiculously difficult. You would needs tons of coolant for long term operation. Satellites and shit only work because they're relatively low power, like the power of a single desktop. A datacenter would using megawatts and 99% of it turned to heat.
