There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

      Sure you can have fancy liquid cooling to move heat away from the processors, but you still need something to move the heat into. You can radiate it into space, but not quickly enough to do useful work 24/7.
