It's not a technical problem. It's a people problem. Every data center project over the last year has experienced some form of pushback no matter where they're built

By definition, a data center in space is remote, self-reliant on electrical power and doesn't use potable water. These characteristics require technical solution to be practical, and once one has cracked those challenges, they have disarmed all the push-back arguments people have raised against data centers. It's telling that the data centers want to build-out near population centers, i.e. where someone else has paid for fiber, grid and water infrastructure; it's a good old fashioned raid of the commons. This is why no-one is pushing for building data centers in locales with 0.2 people/sq mile.
