OK, assuming that this plan to launch a constellation of orbital data centres actually happens, I'd be curious on maintenance of these centres.

The Amazon model would be to send technicians up to repair and replace as a one-way trip, human life being worth far less than the replacement parts they're carrying. Google would probably charge the technician for the ride, the recovery, and make them wear uniforms that had every square centimeter covered in ads and product placement. Microsoft's would simply crash into each other after several stability updates. But X? How would that look for them and SpaceXAI?
SpaceXAI will continue to promise repairs "this year" for a decade. Then, it will quietly shuffle money from a defunct solar business to purchase back it's own degraded capacity, transfer ownership to a trust owned by Kimball, park it in graveyard orbit and never mention it again.
