AI data-centers use upwards of 100MW. The biggest solar panels in space could produce around 240KW. When they speak of AI data-centers in space what do they actually mean in realistic non theoretical terms and where are the materials for this coming from?

If the AI data-center used only 10MW then each could have two redundant SMR's assuming the cooling challenges have been worked out but then we could have nuclear reactor disposal and collision issues.

This is the thing I don’t get. Everyone talking about the “how” but nobody talking about the “why”? It makes literally no sense.

Snake oil, like bitcoin.

A lot of people will invest in this because "it's the future" and a few will make a lot of money on that.
