  1. They’re going to be in sun-synchronous orbit. That means they will always be flying over where it is dawn/dusk. The data center sats will not be visible at night at all, no matter how many SpaceX is actually able to deploy.

    Luckily this will never happen because space based data farms is one of the stupidest ideas ever conceived and will never happen unless something substantially changes in the way these models are trained or physics decides to take a couple years off.
