   I remember all the Twitter account that keep saying Starship isn't physically / scientifically possible.

   I am so looking forward to a successfully launch today.

      Same with data centres in space, "Noooooo it cant work, heating in space, blah blah" same people, will never achieve anything in life as they only see limits.

         Different category of doubts. It's unreasonable to say starship can't work in a world where the Saturn V did work.

         For datacenters in space to work, they have to solve a bunch of unsolved problems and be more economical than datacenters in earth.

            Starlink already does this. Goalposts will be carried to next place once the first orbital data centre is serving tokens.

               Starlink is "networking in space". The compute, power, and heat stories are minor compared to the networking benefits. Different story than making compute cheaper in space.
