He sure isn't the first to write about something without knowing a thing or two about the thing he's writing about.
No, but he is the first to open his book with the Kipling quote "the female of the species is deadlier than the male"

Like some character in Starfield talking about a super computer being kept on a moon for cooling. Then going on "by that logic it'd be best just in outer space".

If you don't know what's wrong about that, never write science-fiction.

Explaining the JokeShow
Vacuum is dogshit for heat transfer, so any heat generated by that computer is likely to stay in that computer.
Outer space is even worse since there's effectively nothing protecting it from the warming rays of the sun (aside from maybe a planet or moon acting as a shield every now and then).

Never mind any sun, vacuum is just a fucking terrible conductor. Really no conductor at all.

Yeah, an object would eventually cool down to 3 Kelvin but not a fucking super computer that constantly blasts electricity through it's circuits that would make it blow up into magic dust within a fraction of a second without active cooling on Terra.

The game is supposedly "NASA Punk" in style but the writers have never seen an image of the ISS?

And it's not a fucking joke. The character isn't supposed to be dumb or kidding. That's just the writer being scientifically illiterate writing a line that sounds cool and sci-fi because this pea-brained moron thinks space is cold.

Which it fucking isn't!

They don't. The white plates are the heat radiators. The orange ones are solar panels.
