HN – Ask HN: Are orbital data centers possible / a good idea?

Saw a YC company has raised 200 million at a billion dollar valuation. https://www.starcloud.com/starcloud-4. Additionally - with the impending spacex ipo this seems like a big focus.

Can someone with a stronger physics background explain why anyone would think this is a good idea?
