The facts you quoted just made me even more convinced that space-based datacenters will not be cost effective any time soon. If an entire generation of satellites costing many billions of dollars can't power more GPUs than a single terrestrial datacenter, how could it possibly be cost effective?
A data center costs $20 to $40 billion! And launch costs keep dropping.
Plus, environmental costs of data centers keep rising.
