   If data centers in space end up being economically viable, then I don't see how anyone can catch SpaceX. They are ten years ahead in both launch capability and satellite manufacturing.

      I certainly hope ‘economically viable’ includes properly priced externalities for e.g. side effects of burning hundreds and hundreds of tonnes of aluminium and other materials in the high atmosphere.

         As opposed to the 225 tons of aluminum burning up in the atmosphere from meteors every year?

            Not as opposed, in addition. And it’s awfully hard to get meteors to pony up for their pollution.
