I think MS did this, from an article I read. The waste heat comment is spot-on (vacuum is a great insulator), not to mention latency/availability (are you in geosynchronous orbit? if not you'll need a very complex handoff) and the sheer exponential cost of lifting racks to orbit (Tsiolkovsky equation isn't going anywhere soon) or the complexity of assembling pods in orbit.. such a bad idea.
Sea though, that makes sense. No exponential expenses, free water cooling, literal continental edge colos, cheap real estate in expensive areas. I think it'll catch on with the other big clouds like shipping containers did back in the day.
