Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

Umm… We absolutely do, solar panels. Constant full exposure to the sun adds up quick, especially when they don’t even need structural support
There’s plenty of problems with this idea, but power is the one strong point

Perhaps you should review the power that solar panels designed for space flight can draw vs the requirements of a single GPU.
We are not even close to having robust enough solar panels to make this a reality, let alone powering a datacenter full of GPUs.
