To say the quiet part out loud, I don't think any serious companies have any intention to build a data center in space. There is no benefit in actually trying this. There is however, benefit in saying you'll do it to advance a narrative and distract from the problems terrestrial data centers are facing to an audience that mostly doesn't understand how heat transfer in a vacuum works.

It makes the same amount of sense as a colony on Mars, largely for the same reasons.

Sure you can put people underground, but that’s probably not much fun. Why not just do that on earth?
