How do you dissipate so much heat in vacuum? Datacenters will need to boil something like water and then dump it somewhere.

Just like satellites do: heat pipes and radiators.

Not that space DCs are a good idea™ or economical otherwise.

Sats are optimized for low energy usage. DCs, on the other hand, are water boilers.

Do you think data centers and the average satellite generate an equivalent amount of heat?
