Very confused by this plan. Data centers on Earth are struggling with how to get rid of waste heat. It's really, really hard to get rid of waste heat in space. That seems to be about the worst possible place to put a data center.

Well the issue is that a lot of people believe that space is cold. If you will ask Google/Gemini what is a temperature of space, it will tell you:

The average temperature of deep space is approximately -270.45°C or 2.73 Kelvin), which is just above absolute zero. This baseline temperature is set by the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiatio...

Which is absolute nonsense, because vacuum has no temperature.

I saw a news personality say that space is cold and that solves a big problem with datacenters as justification for why it made sense.

Space is cold because there isn't anything there.

There is also no matter to wick the heat away.
