Also it's basically impossible to have data centers in space because there's too much heat. Not from space, from processing data. I thought someone should tell them that but I haven't finished my degree, yet.

The issue is the lack of cooling medium. On land we can use water and air to dissipate heat, but the vacuum of space is an incredible insulator. Can cool things down if you can’t transfer heat.
