Data centers in space.

With the upcoming wave of space-based internet access, the next thing that will obviously come is space based data centers. The advantages:
- Clean and very reliable power: solar with perfectly determined period.
- Significantly reduces latency compared to keeping them on the ground.

Most probably what will happen is the that the owners of satellites will.also host data centers the can spin up a VM in a few seconds. When the satellite has passed, the running VM is moved to the next satellite and continue to serve its users from that one.
