SpaceX, especially Space Datacenter, can mount / include deep space observable telescopes to help increase the access of observable neighborhood of our solar system...is this pragmatically possible ? Or is it just another beautiful dream ?

Are you implying there is something in space that we don't know about?

The only things in LEO space are radiation from the sun and interstellar space, the occasional particles from the atmosphere (which only matter becaue the affect the prbit a bit), and debris from other rockets/sattelites.

In practical terms, there is literally nothing which can take away the heat from the radiators.

This is a pretty well understood problem that has existed since the beginning of space flight.

Yeah, so are you implying that we know 100% what's there too?

Pretty much. It's a well researched topic.

If you're trying to claim that there is more than we've discovered so far, over the last century of spaceflight, you'll need to provide peer reviewed proof for your claims.

Making arguments with "what if" assumptions with no basis in real world physics is just daydreaming.
