    If only they'd hired you, they would have known.

      well any actual engineer who isn’t trying to sell them will readily tell you that a datacenter in space is a very bad idea.

        They'd better not try to sell them to anyone who has access to an engineer, then. Just a single engineer will bring the whole scheme crashing down.

      Or maybe they just want to fool lay persons, to get some of them sweet venture capital on empty promises by 2030? Ever considered that?

      You can only radiation cool in empty space, not very effective and the lay person usually doesn’t think of that. Especially not on fancy and dumbed-down presentations.
