    There were a lot of YouTube science-fluencers talking about how dumb this idea was. Google themselves called it a Moonshot (har har).

    Curious to see if the experiment changes our understanding of space radiators at a certain scale for non-space exploration purposes.

      I suspect it’ll go in the trash like their previous experimental infrastructure ideas did.

        A lot of their experimental infrastructure has influenced later work.

          No not really.

          Sorry for the snark but that has the same level of credibility as your comment.

          If Google did not exist, I don't think the world would be noticeably different.
