    It’s an idea that would work much better after a few more years when the chips are mature and not changing as much and you have a moon base producing aluminum metal and then you can use the waste rock as radiators with a little bit of moonwater cooling. Doing it now is the worst time.

      Yeah a data center, on earth or in space, sits on a ton of infrastructure. It is foolish to even mention the cherry on top when you don’t even have a cake yet.

      First we industrialize cis lunar space then we industrialize the moon then we’ll see about data centers in space.

        Apropos then that fElon prefers to declare he’s placing said cherry on top and the rest of his cult scrambles to design, manufacture, and position said cake directly under the cherry’s forecasted destination vector. ☝🏼

        Did I hear aurora. That bullshit book by ksr? Let me see, you mean the Andy weir one. Yes I read it. It was good but a pretty tame setting with mass measured in grams. Very small scale. I don’t think we will have so much skilled 0g welding. Easier to use a robot or just slather it in a ton of mass and brute force it.
