Heat is transferred to special surfaces that unfold in orbit.
It looks like a big lie.
Yeah, this is cool.
If you're orbiting the Earth vertically, essentially, the sun is constantly hitting the satellites, so you're not out of power for half the day.
But they say the radiators for data centers will likely be very large.
Like that phase change materials materials that can absorb they can change phase to absorb heat like wax or salicylic acid usually from solid to liquid when returned to normal when temperature is reduced Sun synchronous orbit 373 miles to 497 miles up so about 400 miles up
is when you get into sun-synchronous orbit.
That's on the low end of low Earth orbit.
Low Earth orbit, around 1,000 miles.
Mid orbit, 1,000 to 10,000 miles.
High orbit, over 22,000 miles.
And so we covered a decent amount of this, so we can move on.
I think, I think Doomburg was like the other side of this, the Doomburg did highlight was like Colossus is the exception that proves the rule because it moved so quickly and, and took advantage of so many different grids and there were power generation from multiple States at one point.
And now there is pushback.
There wasn't pushback when Colossus was built originally because data centers were not a hot topic.
It's the same thing with launching rockets.
We were talking to someone who lives up in Santa Barbara.
They're launching a lot of rockets from Vandenberg.
It's getting to be a lot of traffic.
It hasn't risen to the level of protest, but you can imagine that building 10 more Vandenbergs would be difficult because you go to the local community and you say,
