Built a first-principles interactive model for space data center economics (opens in new tab)

Excellent effort, except the cost per kg to low earth orbit default is about 1/3 of the current cost ($1500/kg). I personally expect the launch vibration environment, and the specifics of microgravity to really raise hardware costs as well.

I’m trying to bring some quantitative structure to a conversation that’s been mostly big-number vibes.
