    Obnoxious as he seems to be, he’s actually right, there will be no convection, but they’d radiate heat in a vacuum, by IR IIRC.

      You’d need an enormous radiator to move the heat a data center puts out. Not even all the billionaires put together could afford that.

        Sure, the idea is as bad as solar roadways. It’s actually kind of impressive to come up with an idea that bad.

      To do that they’d have to be filled with something other than something water based to be able to do that over a large area which would require constant maintenance to do so. It’s not easily feasible and I doubt people who want to do this or defend it realize that. I have to look it up but it takes Anhydrous Ammonia to perform that in the ISS. Like this is a bad idea and it fries my brain people trying to defend this.

        Yeah as I have already said, it’s kind of impressive how bad the idea is, I mean how can it be worse…
