@elizayer Who would think that? Not anyone who has ever built their own pc. The number one thing to ensure you get the performance your pc is capable of: Airflow. There's no air in space. Neither anyone who has been following the news about AI datacenters. One of the big problems now is that they are using our drinking water for cooling. There's no water in space, so they'd have to use rockets to move all our drinking water into space - and we are not getting it back (Never mind that evaporative cooling probably doesn't work in space anyway, and other forms of water cooling is really just moving heat to where it's easier to get rid of).

    @leeloo In my experience most people -- including well-educated people -- have a hazy grasp of physics, then hear credible-sounding people advocating the idea. Like this from the World Economic Forum: https://www.weforum.org/stories/2026/01/data-centres-space-ai-revolution/
