Even putting aside the absurd expense, impossible power demand, lack of cooling and abundance of hostile radiation, what the fuck is even the point of a data centre in orbit? "Sorry, I can't access my files right now, the data centre is over the Indian Ocean". "Yeah, I've sent the email - it'll be delivered in fourty-three hours when the satellite is next in range of London". Yes, I'm being facetious but what possible benefit could there be for having ten thousand tiny, low-power data centres - of which you can only access one or two at a time - versus the obvious, existing, cheaper, proven alternative?

Remember when Steve Jobs announced the iPhone and that's exactly what it was: beyond a handful of essential built-in tools, the only way to develop for it was web apps using the desktop-class browser engine?

Then they were like, haha, fuck you, you can only develop our apps for our phone using our PCs and you'll pay for the privilege at every step? Yeah, fuck Steve Jobs. Fuck Apple.

I mean, I work in the public transport industry and, believe it or not, most project are brought in on time and on budget, but "competent people are competent" doesn't get rage clicks.
