huh? I was under the impression that cooling in space is an absolute nightmare since radiating heat into vacuum is super hard?
Even the comparatively small and decidedly H100-free ISS needed giant radiators

How does “passive cooling” work in space?
One NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD consumes 10 kW which would be ~500 square feet of solar panels and ~100 square feet of radiator area.
What does space give us that Earth does not in this scenario? Free real estate? They only mention falling costs for deployment.
Can't wait to experience a Gigawatt DC re-entering a la Cosmos 482.
Starcloud is developing a lightweight deployable radiator design with a very large area - by far the largest radiators deployed in space - radiating primarily towards deep space, which has an average temperature of about 2.7 Kelvin or -270°C. The radiators can be positioned in-line with the solar arrays as shown in Figure 3, with one side exposed to sunlight.
