I agree that this announcement is just another Musk hype cycle, and I can’t wait for a bunch of “AI” companies to crash and burn.
What I meant with the 5-10 year comment was that if people still insist on spending money on data centers, we might reach a point where falling launch costs, lighter radiator systems, and more available and cheap satellite components make it feasible for a space based server rack to have lower lifetime costs and be less of a headache than a terrestrial one.
A physics problem might be easier than a regulatory one. Big radiators are an acceptable solution if there are multiple reusable super heavy lift launch vehicles.
