It’s still wildly impractical to build AI datacenters in space. But it’s not impossible
Who was arguing that it was impossible? It doesn't even need to be wildly impractical to make it impossible to make business sense. The whole pitch is that it makes great sense and would be cheaper, since you have "free" sun power and the "cold" vacuum of space. You can't easily argue against the solar panels to a random person (well you'll just have a smaller data center then), but not being able to cool it without a huge structure makes it clear how bad of an idea it is.
