alt Hacker NewsDid the same kinds of analysts tell you that reusable rockets would never work, an LEO satellite internet constellation would never work, FSD would never work without LiDAR, and the Tesla Model 3 would never be mass produced?

The same kind of analysts are saying extending human race to Mars is a dumb idea.
>reusable rockets would never work
I am so fucking tired of people acting like we haven't had reusable rockets since the 1980s. Do you think I was hallucinating when my parents drove me to Florida to see Columbia?
There no benefit to data racks in space other than being outside of government jurisdictions, although the US and China already have demonstrated satellite killers.
Every problem data centers have gets harder in space other than one small spot in orbit that can get uninterrupted solar.
Heat dissipation, upgrades, repairs. All get significantly harder to perform the same work that can be done cheaper and more easily on the ground.
Like really I’ll turn it around on you, what’s the benefit to AI data centers in space?
More the kinds which did the math on solar roads [0] and the Titan submersible [1].
> FSD would never work without LiDAR
From what I gather, this is still a contested topic, with Tesla's Autopilot only achieving Level 2 automation [2].
