But/so if even I, a simple peon, have access to the science-based knowledge that *physics itself* is a fundamental hurdle, surely the billionaires do too?

Which leads me to conclude: they don’t *actually* believe data-centers-in-space is a feasible idea; it’s a MacGuffin, it could be literally anything else.

The real goal, imo, is opening up a whole new vein of taxpayer-subsidized contracts and incentives, and mining the ever-loving shit out of it.
