It's actually much harder to dissipate heat in vacuum. Only radiative cooling works. No air or water molecules to offload all that thermal energy into when they bump against you. Also solar radiation without an atmosphere, static regolith, latency, infeasibility of maintenance...
They'd definitely have to be buried. I guess I support this effort as a method of expanding space travel, but it's definitely worse than any earth based datacenter.
