Radiative cooling. When something gets hot, it begins to radiate that heat away - black body radiation.

Fucking hell - do you all think ISS is cooled by hopes and prayers?

Starlink V3 sats have to dump ~20kW of pure waste heat just to exist. Going from that to the stated 100kW is an engineering task, not some sort of impossible arcane rite.

The ISS isn’t supposed to be a profitable business, and it isn’t competing with terrestrial ISS’ that can use evaporative cooling.
