What does space give us that Earth does not in this scenario? Free real estate? They only mention falling costs for deployment.

There's an answer in their whitepaper[0] - see Table 1. tl;dr - power is continuous and free via solar array

Power in needs to equal heat out, and that isn't easy in space. They, deceptively, claim that their novel solution is radiative cooling. Relying on radiation for cooling in space is the problem statement! Convective (as on Earth) is significantly more effective.

I'm not one of those idiots who would claim that "we should focus on terrestrial problems instead of space," but this idea seems to have only downsides.
