      What’s going to be performing convection to dissipate heat from the radiator in a manner to support the heat generated by an AI data center?

        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.

          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…
