    at least two, you can’t stuff a rocket full of just gpus, you need something to actually dock and deliver the payload in space. So you need to launch at least 2 rockets (in a non-reusable configuration, so you need to pay for the whole rocket and the launch) to ship a bunch of gpus that are, at best, only 10% as fast as usual.

      Okay, two then. It’s still cheap.

      in a non-reusable configuration

      Why do you say that? 120 tons is well within Block 4’s projected capacity in reusable configuration. 240 tons is almost within it, even.
