@utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets, not yet but soon I guess

@utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets, I agree, that would be a great option as well and is supposedly our current policy. Reality is different though: Datacenters and municipals are signing NDA's, so that the public never really know what the impact on current population. At least in space they would have no other option.

@utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets, my thoughts are on the biggest resource consumption of a datacenter: Cooling and Energy, which is very taxing right now on our existing capabilities.

We'd shift from constant CO2 emitting energy consumption on earth to solar in space and move away from using fresh water for cooling, which is becoming more and more scarce.

@utf_7 @troed @sundogplanets, no worries. Indeed, a much harder challenge but image the outcome if we would normalize this?

Tbf, I think we're not there yet and the announcement is more like a distraction but I'd welcome the actual technological outcome.

@sundogplanets, why is this a problem? Datacenters in space would eliminate a lot of problems like access to free solar energy, cooling, etc.

For example, datacenters are being constructed with massive discounts by councils/municipals and in turn, water and electricity bill of residential area gets higher to pay that offset of costs.
