Having to worry about the brightness of solar panels & antennas was not enough, now we have to worry about huge radiators too
"cooling a H100 in space is difficult: It draws 700 watts, which will require 1.4 square meters of radiator at 60 °C. A 40-kW rack of servers will need an 80-m² radiator; a 100-MW data center will require 2,500 of those radiators. Some astronomers are understandably concerned that 1M satellites w/ giant radiative wings would blot out the stars."
