It's a single rack rather than it being a whole data center. The whole constellation of satellites is the data center.

Again, I'm not advocating for this as a good idea, just saying that cooling is not the reason it is a bad one.

That simply isn’t true, the video I linked explains everything clearly, for a 20kw satellite the cooling area is needed very modest.

Still not a great idea and I am not advocating for it, but people need to stop fighting bullshit with bullshit and start fighting it with truth.

You can, they just have to be smaller rather than a massive single orbital data centrer like this proposal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlQYU3m1e80

Still not a great idea because of the economics, but the same can be said for the data center build out on earth too, so why would they let that stop them?
