Cost effective?! No land cost. No power cost. No cooling (water) cost. The cost savings are significant.

Go actually look into this. It’s far more expensive than building them on Earth.

@daShadoSage Look into it? I’ve been following SpaceX and Tesla since they were founded! 😅 How is it more expensive? Please, I want to hear your reasoning.

@billthecat7536 What does Tesla have to do with this? What does following SpaceX have to do much with it. How much does it cost to keep a space data center of the size mentioned cool?
Again, did you look into the actual costs of a potential space data center? Actual nunbers. SpaceX hasn’t talked about it at all let alone Tesla.
Notice that she completely dodged the question.

@daShadoSage If you don’t know how Tesla figures into this upcoming self-supporting eco-system, I can’t help. You want someone to just spoon feed you the info so you make a basically uniformed opinion quickly. Do your own f’ing homework. I’m done with you.

@daShadoSage The operational cost of these data centers is practically zero (both cooling and energy) – that’s the genius of it. Front-loaded energy costs can be less than a traditional Earth-based system (total system efficiency of solar is 5x compared to ground based). Launch is a critical cost and space hardening as well, but those are SpaceX specialties.

All US companies need to bring their chip manufacturing home. China will cut them off sooner or later
