50MW is on the small side for an AI cluster - probably less than 50k gpus.

if the current satellite model dissipates 5kW, you can't just add a GPU (+1kW). maybe removing most of the downlink stuff lets you put in 2 GPUs? so if you had 10k of these, you'd have a pretty high-latency cluster of 20k GPUs.

I'm not saying I'd turn down free access to it, but it's also very cracked. you know, sort of Howard Hughesy.

High latency to earth but low latency (potentially) to other satellites.
