This was my first thought, cooling in space is hard. There isn’t a medium for the heat to transfer through, outside of inferred radiation. I could be very wrong on this though

Lol, either these won’t be able to cool themselves or they will pump out heat straight into the upper atmosphere, which seems like a bad idea.
Also just to like Starlink this is a really dumb way to solve any problem other than how to inflate SpaceX valuations.
Now the lie that Starlink is resistant to censorship has been exposed twice (Ukraine & Iran), this is just the test Elon Grift.

The edges of the atmosphere are either too thin to do any heat transfer, or when the air gets thicker the satellite has friction and quickly burns up.
