This is just a rebranded data center in orbit. Same goal, be completely outside of the law, this time in international waters.
Lol the space data center crashed, now it's an ocean data center
can we make it a submarine data center?
Right, then they'll have to build more aircraft carriers to protect it.
If we're gonna go non-credible-defense, why not add an airstrip to the roof of the data center, and it can manage it's own protection!
How is that better than a separate ship?
There was the same problem in Space. Russia and China have anti-sat weapons in-orbit pointing at targets already.
I'd assume the US too. I haven't decided if it's a problem yet. Just a comment. Still thinking about where this can lead to. I guess what I'm saying is that presumably, naval contractors would support this project, so it has a good chance of going forward.
So put them where Russia and China's navies are a problem, but you also have pirates to worry about
