Shorter employee commutes? Shorter last-mile shipping distances? Lower latency to/from local customers? Closer proximity to points of intersection of fiber backbones? Closer proximity to existing electrical/water/sewer infrastructure? But we're being sold a vision of putting them in low-earth orbit. That means, among other things: - They don't need to be situated anywhere near their customers - They don't need a lot of employees to babysit the hardware, or in fact any at all - They don't need water. Radiative cooling is evidently just fine by itself, even without convection or conduction - They don't need any networking infrastructure beyond what satellite IP links can provide - They don't need anything but localized photovoltaic power Every argument for putting data centers in space applies equally to putting them literally anywhere on Earth.
