Heat dissipation becomes a _huge_ problem when you deploy a data center inside a perfect insulator, the vacuum of space.
Currently about a third of the energy consumption of a data center spent on cooling (heat dissipation)? And that's with the use of a huge heat sink, the earth.
Plus, I feel like GP hasn't ever seen an actual data center. One does not simply strap on on top of a rocket (even a SpaceX Starship) and toss it into LEO.
