space is cold!
No, space is empty. If you want to be pedantic, space is very hot actually
People don’t read enough hard sci-fi, in a realistic space battle you use missiles and other projectiles because they don’t heat up your ship
If you have any kind of laser crap, you need to dissipate the heat and that requires surface area
And that surface area is an easy target for your enemy’s kinetics… take out the cooling system and everyone is cooked alive. Nice.
The positive is that lasers are undodgable by any means other than random jinking at distances where the light travel delay is significant which can force your enemy to waste all their fuel or die.

Yeah, I mean take advantage of geothermal heating/cooling. It does seem obvious. The only actual advantage to space is the 100% solar availability, but that’s actually not a huge advantage in the grand scheme of things.
TP;DR: datacenters in space is a duuuuuumb idea
We knew it was dumb when Elmo Musk suggested it, that dioshit only manages to come up with stupid shit
And yet another lost of reasons why these billionaires are fucking removed. Yes, im using the horrible R word, but “idiots” just doesn’t suffice.
These people are investing billions of dollars on unproven technology and now want to put trillions more in pushing those unproven technologies to space which is just removed levels of stupid. But the investments will happen, a ginormous amount of pollution will be made and it’s all nothing for humanity and a huge amount of money for a select few billionaires.
Fuck this time line, fuck removed billionaires
We need a wealth cap. Nobody should be able to do shit like this with impunity just because they have “enough money to do so”.
Give me a 1M wealth cap world wide and I’ll give you a world where everyone is happy at relatively equal levels of wealth
