    Yes, investing in reliability will increase reliability

    You can radiate the heat with a biiiig long radiator but it doesn’t solve any of the other problems or improve commercial scalability

      You may note that this thread is talking about data centre reliability …

      Also you can’t radiate heat in space …

          Sure. What did it cost? How many flights to get it up there? How many human spacewalk missions to maintain it?

          Yeah, I’ve been wondering why there’s such a push against the feasibility of space data centers on a lack of cooling when it’s in a vacuum where we have already solved temperature regulations. Are there good arguments for why this doesn’t work for data centers in space? I mean I imagine other concerns will definitely make it difficult but this argument hasn’t seemed accurate to me. I mean also I’m against data centers in general so ya know fuck them but from a reality pov like isn’t that argument incorrect?

          Mostly emitting ungodly amounts of photons and radiations, as far as the earth is concerned. Is that actually cooling it though ?

            Yes, all that emitted radiation does cool down the sun. It’s why it has a mostly stable temperature instead of getting hotter infinitely.
