I think you and I are coming to the same conclusion. It's totally viable to have 20kw of compute in a satellite in space. Hell, you can probably get away with 100kW or more with some sort of megasatellite.

I'm pretty sure we'll see this within the next 5 years.

But deploying a megawatt scale DC in space? And then doing that multiple times a year?? I can't see how this is the only solution to this problem. I can't see how that will be the de-facto way of deploying DCs. Not for the next 100 years or more.
