Have you also recently stumbled upon this idea of putting data centers in the vacuum of space, with thousands of computing satellites in low Earth orbit, like an extention of Starlink? I've even heard some say that:
"- A big advantage of it is the cooling."
If that's the big advantage, then there must be bad disadvantages to it that I'm not aware of. Because in vacuum heat can only be disapated by radiation. Not by conductivity as here on Earth where we freeze much more when it is windy or when we are swimming, because the surrounding air or water conducts heat from our bodies. The data center would need to emit as much heat as its Solar panels receives from the Sun. Minus the little transmitted as radiowaves for communication.

I checked if a data center on the Moon could use the regolith there as a heat sink by pushing down metal rods into it, but:
"Surface conductivity: ~0.001-0.002 W/m·K, comparable to aerogel insulation."
So, no. Not much. Actually not at all. Also, the regolith is ...

Hope to see you all asap.
