In a blow to Elon Musk’s vaporware pronouncements, Google’s head of data-center energy says putting data centers in space could cost up to 100x more than building them on Earth.

@carnage4life Musk just makes things up on the spur of the moment. He isn't well educated, he's lazy and doesn't do his homework. He was in the right place at the right time. But he's not a strategic thinker, he just throws things at walls to see what sticks. How much money and time has he wasted. More fool anyone who thinks he really knows what he's doing. He's lucky and good at PR to the gullible. Period.
@carnage4life That’s more or less the usual mark-up for space hardware. Don’t put it in space unless it needs to be in space.
@carnage4life Presumably most of the difference goes to the company that owns the rockets?
@carnage4life And yet, Google launched a GPU into orbit last month as a "proof of concept".
