Things in space would be safe, but not launch sites or factories or transportation on land.

Could they really though? Isn't it possible to focus some lasers from someone's backyard and cause damage?

A dedicated group of people with some engineering knowledge and an achievable amount of money could easily launch a missile into space. Getting to space is easy, staying in space is what's hard. You don't even need a warhead, as long as the missile intersects the data center's orbit, just hitting it at speed will have the same effect as a bomb.

The point is moot though, as data centers in space is a complete fantasy that will never happen.

> Data centers in space would be well protected from anyone but nation state level actors though.

There is always some ingenious attacker though.

New York probably thought it was safe pre 911.
