Starcloud can’t put a data centre in space at $8.2M in one Starship

Abstract Starcloud have claimed that a single 100-ton Starship launch could suffice to create a 40 MW space data centre (SDC) for $8.2 M. My analysis finds that this is infeasible in a single launch but requires a total of upto 22 launches. The SDC’s solar arrays require 4 launches determined by examining existing solar arrays on the ISS. Similarly, the ISS’s radiator benchmarks indicate that 13 launches would be needed for the SDC’s thermal management system. The server racks would require an
