... but don't send any data centers in space where you will have to dump your heat directly by thermal radiation towards the cold CMB... /s

[akomtu]

How do you dissipate so much heat in vacuum? Datacenters will need to boil something like water and then dump it somewhere.

[burnt-resistor]

Just like satellites do: heat pipes and radiators.

Not that space DCs are a good idea™ or economical otherwise.

[jmye]

Do you think data centers and the average satellite generate an equivalent amount of heat?

[akomtu]

Sats are optimized for low energy usage. DCs, on the other hand, are water boilers.

Economics are not the main concern if nobody wants them on Earth.
