TLDW - Starlink V3 design should be able to do 20kw of computers. It's a complex engineering challenge to scale it up.
Stop saying data centers in space. That’s not what anyone is building. They’re building satellites that contain computers. Already a solved problem. The only question is what density and what quality.
Saying "SpaceX is good at launching many satellites" so solved problem... is like saying "Amazon is good at shipping boxes, therefore warehouse scale nuclear reactors are straightforward."
