       @wikkit For Christ's sake. It's as though none of these people can be bothered to even look up previous work done on (in this case) nuclear-propelled airships and high-altitude aerostat data centers. Both of these ideas have been explored!If you're going to do a high-altitude aerostat data center, you (a) put the server racks inside the envelope, because helium carries heat away faster than air, and that gives you the envelope area to dissipate it, and (b) power from the ground via tether.
