CNBC this morning some talking head touting Elon building AI data centers
in space. Interesting since space does not have a heat sinks so the heat from a data center just hangs around even though it is really cold. SpaceX apparently has got some giant liquid cooled radiators but the system takes up 40% of the power. Not sure I totally like the idea of a gigantic data center floating around up there and it loses power or gets shot with a Chinese missile and reenters the atmosphere. The Chinese will probably have their own with a lot less safety protocols. Malfunctions can also happen and quite a bill to send up a repair man but they will probably just make it a space station and people will be stationed there. Just think at 9:30 AM Peter Weyland will be on his way to becoming the world's first Trillionaire.

1) they aren't giant data centers, 2) cooling is understood. Yes. A Starfi

This is a fascinating Tom Swift Jr. idea. No P&M over rate hikes and H2O.**
