    Genuine question: why are there so many people up-in-arms on orbital data centers? Like they have a personally vested interest in ensuring their opinions on failure are correct? There are many people on HN that despise it and say it will not and will never work, but here we are, they are flying them up to space and presumably, will start working soon.

      Elon Musk supports it and will be the main beneficiary if it succeeds. That's it.

        I encourage Musk to launch all of his GPUs into space as soon as possible. Benefit away, creepy weirdo.
