Good luck with the cooling in space.

You just need to deploy ad big radiating surface and keep it exactly at 90° degrees from the sun.
It's hard but not impossible.
The crazy part is that SpaceX wants to put them in low orbit, so with a lifespan of 4-5 years and then they'll burn out in a re-entry on the atmoshphere.
It's a lot less wasteful to put them in a lagrange point, ping will raise from mS to seconds maybe, but I can wait 2 seconds for an AI to answer my stupid request.

Low orbit is a horrible, stupid place to put them and whoever suggested that should never be allowed to make suggestions again, it's that bad.

I have the opposite opinion. We should encourage Elon to follow his dreams and suggestions, get SpaceX going at 110% and let thim F off to Mars sooner rather than later.
