A 20KW data center is utterly feeble, barely worth the name, by ground-based data center standards, which easily go into tens of megawatts.

    It's a single rack rather than it being a whole data center. The whole constellation of satellites is the data center.

    Again, I'm not advocating for this as a good idea, just saying that cooling is not the reason it is a bad one.
