Went down the rabbit hole on data centers in space... the crazy thing I didn't realize is that one of the hardest parts is going to be cooling the GPUs. But wait, isn't space cold?!? Yes, but in a vacuum there's no medium for absorbing the heat into the surrounding area... so you need to radiate it away. This article says that for a 100MW data center, you need 2500 pickleball court size radiators. That sounds like a lot. Super interesting. https://lnkd.in/gJEc2rCS284 reactions · 55 comments · 7 repostsOpen on LinkedIn
