We just filed a formal Reply Comment with the FCC opposing Cowboy Space’s massive 20,000-satellite data center constellation. Instead of addressing the scientific and technical concerns we presented, Cowboy Space relied almost entirely on procedural deflections.
We won't let orbital greenwashing go unchallenged.

@space_environmentalism@mastodon.social If AI loves water so much, then why don't they build them underground beneath the water table, or underwater beneath lakes and oceans? There is no water in space, and the vacuum of space functions as an ideal heat insulator. The ISS requires massive radiators about as large as it's solar panels, just to keep it's internals and crew from melting. Even the solar panels would have to be colossal to power such a space-based data center, as in multiple rugby fields of area.
