    Indeed, the plan for SpaceX is to literally launch computers into orbit to have orbiting data centers.

    No, I cannot explain why this seems like a good idea to anybody. Beyond, “Elon Musk likes juicing his stock by announcing useless sci-fi plans that won’t come true”

        Don’t think the goal is to get something functional, but to get money for it. The hardware would become outdated in short order even if you could overcome the heating issue.

        He will just raise money in this grift and then run away with it, like literally every other grift he’s ever done. He’s never cared about it being realistic. Note the extreme lack of people on both the moon and mars, despite his promises of a colony in the early 202Xs. Note how his cars still don’t have FSD.

        He’s just a liar.
