If Starship launches end up in the $20 million range they would be easily economical. Running cable isn't free.

And how many of these rockets would you have to launch to match the capacity of a mid-size terrestrial data center?

We’re not talking about launching little satellites here, we’re talking about replacing giant buildings.

How do you cool a datacenter in a vacuum? You’d need ridiculous radiators to dump megawatts. How do you service it in space when something breaks?
