Well... If the launch cost is low enough you can just pack a radiator large enough. Good thing this might drive the development of a wider Starship and Ultraheavy booster (or a Superheavy-Heavy where three Superheavy rockets boost a bigger, heavier Starship). Eventually we can get to the Comicallyheavy booster.
- chuckadams 4mo agoPerhaps, but I don't see the costs getting anywhere near being worth it. You'd need a space elevator or to manufacture the sinks IN SPAA— er, in space. The latter is theoretically possible but still extremely remote, the former still requires unobtanium.
- rbanffy 4mo agoIt all depends on how far you are willing to go to make your server invulnerable to a police raid.

- rbanffy 4mo agoIf the user is sophisticated, and has full control over the onboard hardware, this might be difficult. I am sure the satellites that will be built and marketed for this specific use case will be hardened against interference by any third parties. And, since they are under no real jurisdiction once in orbit, enforcement would be impractical.
