You don’t have to jump in front of a bullet in order to not flee into absolute non-political detachment and deflection.

Sound exactly like what you commonly hear from Russians.

You do need margins not just for humans.

Building something the size of an (unmanned) space station for a single server rack, yes, it makes no sense. The energy needed to lift all that stuff into orbit, the comically inefficient cooling and never mind the issues of impact damage and radiation and inability to do any service (without huge effort) if things go wrong, all make this a pretty irrational idea.

Just put that server rack in Iceland with geothermal power and closed loop heat pump. But then the tech oligarchs would have to comply with laws and that is probably the reason they want it up in space. There surely is no technical reason for it.

That gives you a heat rejection capacity of less than 140 kW (mind you, that is total heat rejection, incl. heat from the sun, support systems etc., only a part of that can be used to cool servers) So you settle for laughably low compute to keep radiator size somewhat reasonable, yet still massive and heavy.

That space data center might end up dumping more waste into the oceans with all thise launches but certainly more into our atmosphere.

Via radiation into space. All you need is a radiator, the weight of a battleship (or worse). Yes, the idea is crazy.
