orbital data centers are inevitable for certain military and business interests as they will provide access in geographic locations that are now unserviced, and under conditiins where cables are cut or other data centers are lost on the ground. though the ability to maximise any tactical advantage will be dependent on the skills and strengths of teams and indivuals on the ground. it is quite clear from the design of the starlink satelites bieng developed, that they are designed to maximise surface area in order to radiate heat, for which they have MUCH better data than anyone else, and can obviously repuropse existing hardware for multiple missions now.
