I couldn't find a single instance of "upgrade", "recover", or "recycle" in there.

What happens if a major advancement renders all the GPUs obsolete? How can they upgrade the hardware and resell the old hardware?

Are they just going to vaporize all the gear and precious metals?

IDK, the whole thing seems silly at the current state of space logistics.. For these and many more reasons.

It's popular mechanics/science levels of practical fantasy, but somehow now those stories end up swirling around the Internet and never flush. Would have been like having 5 newspaper articles about space elevators every month for years.
