Kinda fun how the large CMEs we got recently showed how much of an issue radiation can be for compute.
putting datacenters in space is a -really- bullshit idea.
Not to mention that, as anyone who's worked with space systems more complicated than a cubesat knows intimately - and which has been thoroughly documented for the people who haven't - heat management in space is a -huge fucking pain in the ass-
Bluntly, to suggest a space-based datacenter is to broadcast your ignorance of how space -and- computation works.
You want me to take your space based compute shit seriously?
Demonstrate effective lightweight low cost radiation shielding,
by cleaning up hazmat sites on earth.
That's your prereq: clean up Chernobyl, Hanford, and Fukushima, demonstrating that your radiation shielding tech can handle easy mode. Then we can talk about putting that shit into space.
please do not suggest to the man who regularly explodes his defective-ass rockets in the atmosphere and is constantly deorbiting his kessler-bait low orbit satellites the possibility of adding vaporized uranium to the atmosphere on the regular.
