I am curious as to why there is already talk of putting data centers into space rather than the much more manageable cold locations we have in the states such as Alaska. Does anyone here know by chance?
In space there is 10 to 1000x more powerful solar energy afaik. One side is super cold, facilitating emitting waste heat into space, and the other side provides all the energy you need, 24x7. The main challenge is moving the datacenter out of solar storm zones with sufficient advance notice, but this is entirely possible using early-warning solar monitoring satellites and basic propulsion.
