I did a very rough calculation of how much energy it might take to launch a datacentre to low earth orbit, vs the power draw of such a datacentre.
For a ~1 tonne GPU LLM rack satellite consuming ~100...
In other words, the GPU LLMs will likely be obsolete before the solar panels start generating more energy than it took to launch them. So you might as well power the same datacentre with the fuel you were going to use to launch it.
