#2So, Amazon wants to own the tubes too?
I guess the stack should be completed with this. AWS servers, satellite communications, boxes to view content on TVs, apps on mobiles, content creation studios, advertising, product placement, product sales. Whew!
I guess they also want expertise to launch stuff into space, in case it becomes feasible to run space data centers.

Amazon seems to have a service for everything, one time I saw they had satellite ground station as a service

Why space data centers? What advantage this would have? Cooling will be a big issue, while it is easily solved on the planet earth, as we have water, air that can transfer heat away.

I think America in general is moving to a service based economy where you don’t own anything anymore. Everything from cars (lease) to homes (rentals) to electronics to insurance etc comes at a monthly cost. This kind of model works when the central government is trusted (or at least perceived to be trusted) to keep the wheel churning. I think the current government took some of the power back from big tech and people didn’t like it. Very interesting because the whole argument was private companies having too much power. Now the argument is government having too much power.

You only now just think this? The writing has been on the wall for quite some time. Especially as you move down in age cohort.

>Cooling will be a big issue
a 1m2 at 70C radiates 785 Watt. Seems thet cooling will be more simple than on Earth.
