Unless you don't plan to maintain them.

software patches, upgrades, etc. to apply, as well as there being a little less frequent hardware changes (which would be the hardest thing to apply, unless they put the center on a regularly visited space platform.)

Also, making sure that 24x7 power was always available (thus, huge generators were always on tap, ready to go at a moment's notice).

Don't get me wrong, one of the biggest factors in running a data center is the huge amount of cooling needed (lots of stuff running), lots of interconnectivity needed between modules etc. (thus why most data centers have floors that pop up, w/ a couple or several feet of space underneath).

$2.4 million won't go a long way, so perhaps they've got more cash/funds coming in.

Scott Manley is someone who fell into youtube because he felt a deep compelling need to teach people orbital mechanics and rocket science so they could play Kerbal Space Program, now, years later the gaming videos are less important and the pure science is the main thrust. My degrees are all in Physics and Astronomy, so much of the rocket science and engineering I've learned is self taught, always learning, always teaching.
