Again, want me to get onboard with your whole "Orbital Data Centers are Good, Actually" thing?
Build a bunch on the ground. They only use solar power, use radiative cooling, and communicate using whatever radio you're planning on using. Hell, the cooling and comms should be worlds easier to do. Replace a bunch of your existing data centers with them and have them run for five years without any maintenance or service, only to switch off and degrade into harmless components that are absorbed back into the carbon cycle.
Then I will be your biggest goddam cheerleader, but until then, you're wasting money and resources and you're colossal idiots for even trying this.

@jrconlin@mindof.jrconlin.com At one end of the zero G training pool is an astronaut training to use a wrench to tighten one bolt in orbit. At the other end of the pool is Chris whose work on cabling server racks perfectly is simply out of this world.
