Regarding datacenters in space... there's a reason they're built on planetary surfaces, usually.
They use the planet & its atmosphere as a heat sink. Where's that heat going to go in space?
Radiate it away? One *will* have to throttle the compute a lot for that to be enough.
That datacenter will be worse and less reliable than one hosted in some random programmer's homelab.
