I thought this wasn't viable due to cooling requirements - how do you cool massive amounts of compute when the only option is to radiate it into space - nothing to convect it with?

Also, the incredible amount of grift here with the left hand paying the right is scarcely believable. Same story as Tesla buying Solarcity. Board of directors should be ashamed IMO.

Cooling and maintenance (part swaps, etc.) are one of many obvious reasons why this is bullshit.

Doesn't stop grifters, tough.

in actual datacenters you often don't even bother swapping parts and just let things die in place until you replace whole racks

Not my experience at a hyperscaler, at least a while back. It definitely made financial sense to swap a small part to get a ~50-100k$ server's capacity back online.
