It will actually not last that long, because data centers require constant physical maintenance. Its one of the many many reasons that data centers in orbit makes no real sense
They are designed to be maintenance free just like starlink. They'll go up, and come back down every 5 or so years. They'll constantly be iterating on them so new more powerful ones with any issues that existed resolved for the next batch.
No one is repairing starlinks in space.
Okay, so right, they still won't last that long ๐ We're saying the same thing and making the same points.
