This idea https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/google-research/google-project-suncatcher-facts/ #DatacentersInSpace is *completely fucked up*.

The environmental implications are just completely ignored. We pollute the atmosphere on the way up, at all levels, with rocket usage, and again on the way down, as the satellites fall out and burn up. At least, we hope they burn up.. I do not want a datacenter falling on my family.

We risk making the entirety of near-orbit space utterly useless to humanity for thousands of years [Kessler Syndrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome).

And all of this is to avoid putting the datacenters on earth. Or perhaps, just not building them at all.

I really hope that lack of bandwidth, cosmic rays, vibration, and cooling, make it utterly impractical, and that all we get is a few test flights burning up in space, followed by a return to commonsense, if there ever was any.

Google, you and your lack of care for the planet, you disgust me.
