supercomputers cooled in space

when bigger reusable rockets make access to space cheaper 

then it could become relevant to send supercomputers up into space 

because space would cool down those supercomputers for free 

those supercomputers would be constructed on earth 

and launched into high orbit around earth

server computers in space would need to be in relatively low earth orbit 

because of latency between computers on earth 

and server computers in space 

supercomputers cooled in space could be needed for ai workloads 

which will probably increase as more work is automated 

supercomputers in high earth orbit could be used to create better ai 

and server computers in low earth orbit could be used to control autonomous industry, transport, logistics and services on earth 

as more poor countries become richer 

and more poor people become richer 

that creates a market demand for more products and services 

which will require more automation to enable that 

and more computing hardware is needed to enable more automation 

cooling of supercomputers and server computers is one of the big issues in the computing industry 

that issue will be solved if that hardware is moved into space 

supercomputers in space would need shielding from cosmic radiation 

and they would get their energy from solar panels in space 

the simplest solution is launching supercomputer racks up into space 

aboard big reusable rockets 

and mounting those racks together as a block in space 

and putting a shielding material around the block 

and mounting solar panels that extend from the block 

which would in effect become a big satellite 

imagine supercomputer racks as lego blocks 

and those supercomputing lego blocks are mounted together 

as a supercomputing big lego block in space
