This reminds me of an interview I saw, where the person is complaining that a lot of people see &quot;data center&quot; and think &quot;real estate&quot;, excitedly focused on locations and buildings, but then they then draw a blank when you ask them what their plans are for the necessary backup generators on a multi-year backlog. The point being that it&#x27;s better to think of them as a form of light-industry factory.<p>Seems like the only compelling reason for Datacenters In Spa[aaaa]ce[!] is to support something that is itself in space and can&#x27;t handle latency.
