I'm assume you would have said the thing about an orbital shell of 10k satellites with laser links for global internet. Or a fully reusable 2nd stage made of steel.
- Daishiman 1mo agoNo, microsatellites have been a thing long before SpaceX developed them. Maybe you don't understand physics, or can you explain exactly how SpaceX plans to deploy a solar array of sufficient size to power a data center with the necessary radiators to have meaningful compute?
- Rover222 1mo agoI'm not going to educate you, just google it. It's not some new physics. Starlink aren't microsats. There's never been a large laser-linked shell. Everything you say is kind of wrong.
- Daishiman 1mo agoI googled it extensively way before this conversation and have researched it for a while. There's no economic sense to the size of the cooling arrays needed and the shielding involved and that's simple matter of how black-body radiation works.
