This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Getting rid of the heat is going to be an issue for that... along with the massive pollution from the many launches required to get this in orbit.
The heat will just dissipate in the air, and they can launch it at night when it's colder. Science!
/s in case, there are a few mouth breathers out today
They could build them so that they stay in perpetual dawn or dusk. One edge with the solar panels in the su, the other edge with the cooling fins in the night’s cool breeze.
Kessler syndrome goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I'm pretty sure they're aware of the need for radiators. They've probably designed satellites before.
yes but they're not trying to dissipate megawatts usually
Again, I'm pretty sure they're aware that you need bigger radiators when you're using more energy. This is space engineering 101.
literal kilometers of panels and radiators. No. It won't happen
Free advice: The economics don't work out.
We just need to invent space construction, cheap fusion power, autonomous robotics, improve AI and set up astroid mining first, then it'll be a snap.
Honestly, it's hard to figure out what the first step in that chain is. If you want to start up industry in space, great, there are lot of potential benefits to that. But where do you start?
Within the next 50 years I do expect a broad sector of space industry to emerge, but I really can't predict what the first opportunities might be. Still, we can poke fun at it all we want right now, but I suspect a great many people will be working in space 50 years from now.
and figure out cooling without having to constantly be resupplying them with water, of course.
Me too. I'll even make them full AI.
Please send me $2 billion by Tuesday. My salary as yetAnotherUser CEO & CTO is a modest 20 million/year. Results are expected to appear by 2030.
Hey Gemini, make me a business plan, a marketing site and some presentations with fancy graphs.
Data centers in the ocean didn't work out. This doesn't seem smarter
The Chinese have done it apparently.
I didn't realize there was a paywall, I use the bypass paywalls clean extension.
Wasn't the Mocrosoft test run very successful?
Imagine getting sent up because a pos rj45 cable got hit by a micrometeorite
In before someone wants to reboot a server and the hypervisor is unresponsive.
Yeah me too! Give me money.
Welp, that's a fuckin stupid idea. Next!
Isn’t this how Skynet started?
No, it started when a scriptwriter came up with an idea for a movie that would sell a lot of tickets.
Even if this was an economically sound proposal, the next X45 magnitude solar flare might be a nasty surprise for reliability metrics...
Edit: at some point, this would also likely contribute to Kessler Syndrome, but at least we'd have chat bots.
Now Elon can have his own death star!
Do you want furries in space??
Bcs that is how you get furries in space.
FUCK OFF Thank you
> People complain about the environmental footprint of data centers.
> Companies attempt to move the data centers outside the environment.
> People complain even harder.
What do you want?
