I can't tell how many layers of sarcasm are here, but I just want to highlight that aktshually cooling in space is quite difficult because there is no convection, so the only cooling option is radiative. Which gets a bit hard when the satellite gets blasted by the sun.

The ISS doesn't have problems staying warm, it has problems cooling off.

It does say he's planning an AI sun, I'm guessing that's the temperature you need to run at for radiation to work.
