How was it incorrect? How can you transfer heat away from the electronics into another medium when there is no other medium because it's in space?
By that logic, every existing satellite would overheat and die.
The processing on satellites is absolutely nothing compared to a datacenter.
Same way radiation heat works from the sun.
The sun emites a fuck ton of mass. Satellites don't have mass to emit.
So how does radiation heat work in other places?
Like this? This has no mass either really.
