While I agree with you on the merit of the idea, rockets that can take off and then land vertically without damage were also laughable pre-SpaceX.

NASA had literally done it. It was never laughable, just thought to be an incredibly difficult engineering challenge.
I think compute in space suffers less from being "impossible" and more from being "impractical". It is plenty easy to put compute in space. It is just still silly expensive and by the time your equipment makes up the cost of putting it in space, it will be well out of date.
The non-deterministic nature of LLMs will get a whole lot more fun when we add randomly flipping bits to the situation.
