"low-cost" - Nothing about launching data centers into space is low cost
"nonstop solar energy" Continuous solar energy is certainly nice, but that is a pretty minor buff compared to current ways of making power. If you think nuclear or solar+battery is expensive, go calculate the price for space-based solar per GW...
"avoiding land use" - We have a fuckload of land outside of cities, build them outside of cities... Datacenter land use is removing a cup of water from the ocean.
"avoiding...fossil fuels" - You can achieve that on earth, nuclear or solar+battery...
In summary, this is probably the dumbest way to build data centers. It's stated goals are better accomplished on land with nuclear or solar+battery. It really just feels like venture capital money trap.
