You can build a completely self-powered (and water-free) datacenter in the middle of nowhere for far cheaper than the satellite version. The NIMBY factor isn't so powerful as to keep datacenters off entire continents. Going to space for that is very stupid.

You still have to ask someone permission on the ground. It’s not about the money.

    Yes, someone. Just a couple have to say yes out of so so many municipalities.

    So I'll just say the same sentence again. The NIMBY factor isn't so powerful as to keep datacenters off entire continents.
