Debate flares over feasibility of space data centers

Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire backed Stanford professor Amir Safavi-Naeini's analysis that radiative cooling makes space-based data centers viable, arguing the real challenge lies in cheap mass-to-orbit via Starship, though critics note radiation cooling is 90-99% less effective than liquid cooling.
