Falcon heavy is only $1,500/kg to LEO. This rate is considerably undercut here on Earth by me, a weasley little nerd, who will move a kilogram in exchange for a pat on the head (if your praise is desirable) or up to tens of dollars (if it isn't).




In exchange for what benefit? There is literally no benefit to having a datacenter in space.

The benefit is capturing a larger percentage of the output of the sun than what hits the earth.

Can that really work? The datacentre will surely be measurably smaller than the earth.

Does your transportation system also have a risk of exploding catastrophically mid-flight? 'cause otherwise no deal. /s
