It'll be neat watching someone try, to see what kind of innovations come out of it. I suspect the same learnings would apply to more remote terrestrial datacenter (icy regions, ocean, etc, where people don't like to be).

You need a cell tower every 20 miles or so, less for a performant one. There's not dark fiber at that density in remote regions (remote is, by definition, lacking infrastructure). There's a better chance of power, and for the case
