    something tells me that had we just kept launch capacity consolidated in NASA 16 years ago, this would have been more much more likely to have this datacenter in space concept bootstrapped sooner when it started to appear viable. this as a proud RKLB shareholder too, but I'm under no false impressions that they'll be profitable before 2028.

    Datacenters in space will never be profitable.

    While yes, space is technically "cold" space is also very fucking empty. Servers generate a lot of heat, and that heat needs to go somewhere. There's no medium for it to move through.

    ...Prepositions are not good words to end sentences with.

    Makes you wonder what they really want to put in space?
