*Data centers in space only make sense if they are cost effective relative to normal data centers*.

Disagree there are bunch of scenarios where Data Centers in space make sense. Like nuclear annihilation and having vaults across the globe to communicate and get back lost information because ground data centers would be wiped out by EMP from blasts.

Has it occurred to anyone that you can put computers underground? In this apocalyptic scenario you are describing, how do you expect the ground based command and control infrastructure to survive? Satellites are 100% reliant on ground based operations. That is a hard requirement. And if you put the command and control underground, might as well just skip the whole space based plan and just put the data underground.

And here I thought Musk's fans are all about digging holes in the ground. The flamethrower fumes might have caused temporary amnesia.

To say so I am not a Musk fan - I am sci-fi fan and I make imaginary/silly stuff up on my own.

I also like reading how people argue with not what I wrote but with what they imagined I wrote.
