    Starlink sats are of the order of 20-50kW, an AI focused rack in a data centre is on the order of 100kW, powering the things is definitely feasible.

    Unlike:

    • cooling them
    • rad hardening them
    • replacing components as they fail
    • data up/downlink or interconnect

    All of which are somewhere between horrible and impossible for data centres in space.
