    You would need to launch so ridiculously much into orbit. The ISS is rounded up 200 kW of solar power. 0.2 MW. Say you want the equivalent of a gigawatt data center. 1000 MW. Yeah, that’s about 5000 ISS sizes objects. It needs a bunch more cooling, and a data center doesn’t need habital zones, so a pretty barebones ISS. Launch 3 roughly ISS sized objects per day and you’re done in 4.5 years. Somehow I don’t really see that as a realistic plan.
