"It really seems like anyone with some renders and a white paper written by someone being gassed up by an overly agreeable AI can get VC funding these days."

    And Bezos apparently…

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/bezos-says-the-only-thing-holding-back-orbital-data-centers-is-cost-not-science-as-he-says-ai-will-create-jobs-fc49d5d5

    These chucklefucks are just trying to get some sucker… er I mean investor to fund the whole thing so their respective space companies can do the job.

    And after doing to some very cursorary research other issues like…

    • Radiation and reliability - apparently cosmic radiation is a bitch
    • Lifecycle costs - I should have thought about this one. It’s not like when a drive dies in space you just drive down to the DC to replace it. And not mention we recycle out compute about every 5-6 years or so.
    • Connection - somebody mention this already in the thread but yeah you ain’t hanging a fiber cable to a satellite
