    They are designed to be maintenance free just like starlink. They’ll go up, and come back down every 5 or so years. They’ll constantly be iterating on them so new more powerful ones with any issues that existed resolved for the next batch.

    No one is repairing starlinks in space.

        Well, i dont think it doesn’t make sense if there was enough users of the AI data centers, but I dont think there will be. I agree that they won’t last long though by design, just like how starlink doesnt last long but does work, because it actually solves a real problem.

        Like maybe this would work better as a general purpose datacenter and not AI focused? But you wont get investment for that because everything now is ai ai ai ai.
