    I wonder how they’re going to cool it?

    Edit: Oh. So they’re just… not doing that. Okay. Hmm.

    In the meantime, the company is taking baby steps. For now, the company is limited to just 15 minutes of operation in space before the chips have to be shut off to cool back down.

    Brilliant. They should invest every penny into this. If they got this far without even referencing a 6th grade science book, they deserve to go under.

    Just waiting for them to realize it’s more cost-effective to just keep destroying the environment.

    Building a relatively puny and ineffective data center because they’re idiots? perhaps. Doing it knowing it’ll provide overwhelming evidence that the idea is really dumb and making some well timed shorts against a certain launch company with an inflated value that’s been touting this very concept, maybe? (idk what I’m really talking about but it’s what comes to mind.)
