It is stupid because it is a physics and thermodynamics problem, not an engineering challenge. In this post, I will prove why space datacenters will <strong>never</strong> happen. <strong>Not now, not in ten years, not in a hundred years</strong>. While we have gotten far in space exploration technology, further than anyone decades ago thought, and while we have had great success in some aspects, such as the International Space Station, people are not computers (shocking, I know), and computers represent an entirely different set of constraints and problems.</p>
