Once again: there is zero valid reason to put a data center in space. In addition to the launch costs and inability to service them, you need significant cooling infrastructure. The only reason to do this is a) you are an idiot, or b) you are grifting money from idiots.

The Catherine O'Hara news is terrible. Like so many, I saw her first on SCTV and she was GREAT. The gift she gave us all with Moira in Schitt's Creek was an amazing cap on a brilliant career. 💔 🇨🇦

Not to detract from Threshold Day, but today’s Starfleet Acadamy was great.
Not sure why I’ve latched onto the character of Jay-Den so much but I have. Love that guy, and was very happy to see him get an episode.
SFA continues to do some cool stuff in the Trek universe.
