My point is even if it were free to put things in space and radiation did not need mitigation, you're still paying a lot to have hardware that can't be maintain

My point is even if it were free to put things in space and radiation did not need mitigation, you're still paying a lot to have hardware that can't be maintained. If it were cheaper we wouldn't be doing online maintenance on Earth. Name a single datacenter on the rocky surface of the Earth that is opting to not have maintenance.
