That's very very powerful for a space fairing computer that gets severely punished by varying temperature changes, radiation and all other mambo jambo that solid state electronics don't like. _______________________________________________ *The value of a prototype is in the education it gives you, * *not in the code it's made of. ** * _______________________________________________ * * 2012/8/9 Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com>
Yeah, that would be totally awesome. And get this, the main computer on Curiosity is only 200 megahertz<http://www.smh.com.au/technology/sci-tech/on-mars--the-power-of-curiosity-is--less-than-half-a-smartphone-20120809-23wby.html> !

The kind of roving/probing being done on the desolate red dot would'av been focused on extra solar rocks.
But the reality is ...the above mad scientist's dream was crushed when they kaput'ed Apollo 18+ and "N1-L3" programmes.
The consequence is, if this blue rock gets kaput'ed by a large-ass asteroid/solar flare ........................... ....................
