I’m not saying the space data centres are a good or even viable idea, just saying you can improve the reliability significantly if you try. The space data centre planis a non starter, there’s nowhere for the heat to go.
Oh so youre saying we should convert the heat generated by the data centres to wide spectrum EM and emit that instead? Amazing! There should be no issues with outputting watts or kilowatts of EM from each of these assuredly numerous space data centres.

Yes, investing in reliability will increase reliability
You can radiate the heat with a biiiig long radiator but it doesn’t solve any of the other problems or improve commercial scalability
You may note that this thread is talking about data centre reliability …
Also you can’t radiate heat in space …
You can ONLY radiate heat in space…
Yeah I’ll pay that, you can’t radiate it effectively enough for data centre applications though.
How does the Sun work?
Mostly emitting ungodly amounts of photons and radiations, as far as the earth is concerned. Is that actually cooling it though ?
Yes, all that emitted radiation does cool down the sun. It’s why it has a mostly stable temperature instead of getting hotter infinitely.
