Datacenters need cooling. Cooling always externalizes heat go the environment. The places you want centers are cold and water available. Neither space or typical deaert.

The world seems to have become an abstract plaything for these billionaires why would they give a damn about practicality. This idiot shot a car into space for no good reason.
He can blow his money on 1 million satellites that will all decay back into the atmosphere within a few years

#15Majority of people my generation are able to experience what once was very common only few times in their lifetime due to light pollution.
It feels dreadful to realize that even that experience will be taken away forever.

He can also 'blow' his money on helping people by giving them opportunities:
> In 1993, Harris Rosen “adopted” a run-down, drug-infested section of Orlando called Tangelo Park. Rosen offers free preschool for all children prior to kindergarten and a free college education for high school graduates. Today, the high school graduation rate for Tangelo Park is 100 percent. And no, that is not a typo.

You can do radiative cooling in space (you just need big radiators). You cannot do that reasonably in desert.

Helping people with ALS speak again seems worthy, as does helping humanity become a multi planetary species.
How about running DOGE and gutting USAID?
Or helping Trump get elected? Was that a worthy endeavour? How's that working out for the average American (or anyone else on the planet) with four dollar gas and five dollar diesel?
