There’s no free cooling in space.

In space there’s no ambient environment to speak of, so you’re limited to radiative cooling, which is massively inferior to refrigeration.

There’s also no 24/7 solar in low Earth orbit, which is where you want to be for latency and serviceable.

That’s actually something I never considered. In a true vacuum since there are no particles, temperature is undefined.

With the added bonus of there being no ozone layer to absorb UV.
