I don't get it. I really don't. The total power budget for one of these satellites is 6 watts. And it's going to replace a ground-based server that consumes 200-1000 watts.<p>How can a 6-watt server be an effective replacement for a 200-watt server? And if it is, why not put the 6-watt server in the data center, where it doesn't require a big rocket or suffer radio latency, and it's easy to swap/repair/upgrade?<p>Now, if these were retargeted as routers, covering the whole world with wireless Internet, it'd be interesting.

Cool, I've been thinking about data centers in orbit and on the Moon lately...<p>Latency and encryption would be interesting issues to overcome.
