Eric Schmidt apparently bought Relativity Space to put data centers in orbit
I, too, am very curious how they plan to dissipate the heat...
High radiation, can’t dissipate heat, not instantly serviceable. I struggle to think of a worse application for a space station.
Well maybe a convenience store.
An outdoor swimming pool?
Escape Room.
Open a window
No air in space :P
Maybe they could heat some water with it and spin some things .. or a giant thermocouple?
You'd need to keep one side of the thermocouple cold in order for it to work, and now we're back to the problem of dissipating heat...
If you boil water, now you have steam that you either need to vent overboard (limiting the lifetime of the system), or recondense, necessitating the dissipation of heat...
