All else aside, the biggest problem with putting a data center in space is cooling it. Getting rid of megawatts of energy at around 100 C when you have only radiative cooling to work with is an absolute bitch. For that reason alone, the “data center in space” idea is complete crap.

Unless it’s really energy efficient: a.k.a crap at compute
