> what is being discussed are 100 MW space data centers Thats... not how engineering anything works. 20kw gives you a reasonable amount of compute, about a GB200 rack. That's pretty good for serving inference workloads. Starship is designed to deploy 50-100 of these satellites per launch. The claim from this video is the existing design can do it. If the next generation of chips run hotter, require less energy to do more things, suddenly you have a data center worth of compute per launch. And those are exactly the goals for the upcoming few generations. Maybe you misunderstood the point of the video? It was to address the poorly reasoned arguments about thermodynamics making cooling data centers in space impossible. Not that you can yeet a data center today.
