Starlink sats are of the order of 20-50kW, an AI focused rack in a data centre is on the order of 100kW, powering the things is definitely feasible.

Unlike:

  • cooling them
  • rad hardening them
  • replacing components as they fail
  • data up/downlink or interconnect

All of which are somewhere between horrible and impossible for data centres in space.
