  No advantage, in fact a massive disadvantage.

  Fascists lie.

  No cooling capacity? Isn’t it the extreme opposite?

    No, it’s pretty hard to get rid of heat in space, vacuum is a very good insulator. The only way is radiation.

    No, space isn’t cold it’s empty. You need something to conduct away the heat, otherwise all you can do is passively radiate it

      Fascinating. Will look more into it to understand.

        I think Scott Manly might have had a video on it (data enter in space) recently. I saw it on a feed but haven’t watched it. I’m sure he would mention the issues with heat removal.

  mainly no red tape trying to connect to a power grid, plus “free” solar power.

    We have “free” solar here on Earth.

      for half a day yeah, minus clouds etc. they want to use orbits where they can catch 24 hours of sun.
