   With this and the data center destruction in the Gulf, maybe in future countries will need to move to constructing datacenters deep underground to protect them. Probably more expensive, but I imagine still cheaper than building data centers in space.

      Same solar panel wattage yields something like 10-15x more power in space. Given biggest shortage for building on earth has been power - I don’t see it being actually cheaper.

      Sure there are other issues with getting there, cooling, radiation. But for cost of power prices - space has huge advantage.

      Also seems a lot of people on far left seem agree we shouldn’t be building them which yields extra support for SpaceX.
