Yeah, but what I found thought provoking is what if you send the solar panels and the datacenter as well for training. No need to transmission of power down to earth. I guess then it becomes a heat dissipation and hardware upgrade and maintenance. But again, thought provoking.

Heat dissipation becomes a _huge_ problem when you deploy a data center inside a perfect insulator, the vacuum of space.

Currently about a third of the energy consumption of a data center spent on cooling (heat dissipation)? And that's with the use of a huge heat sink, the earth.

Plus, I feel like GP hasn't ever seen an actual data center. One does not simply strap on on top of a rocket (even a SpaceX Starship) and toss it into LEO.
