Google is sending a teensy-tiny AI data center to space - Engadget

OK, sometimes you have to fight the odds, push technology to the limit to make the unimaginable possible to achieve something great.
But I still do net see the benefit of putting data centers into space. Even after solving all those problems that are mentioned by the article, what is the upside compared to just building a data center with solar panels and a big battery down on earth? Even powering them with gas turbines seems to be more environment friendly and cost efficient than shooting thousands of rockets into space and have the data centers burn up in the atmosphere after 6 years.
I see the positive side of this: Since Microslop patented this technology, no one else is allowed to use it. So I only have to boycott Microslop games instead of watching the whole industry adopting this. Thank you Microslop.
