Just speculation.... sorry if it seems irrelevant or off-topic
The computer equipment on that space station thing tends to be horribly obsolete because of the time it takes to get up there, usually years and years behind the times.
However, in theory, once they get it there, would they be able to overclock the hell out of whatever they have by just having the chip exist in the airless vaccuum of space? I am not a physicist, does heat even conduct away in a vaccum?
(and the other side is they might be able to cut half the latency out of a satelite broadband ISP
